EVENT HAPPENINGS 

 

      Zeke “Da Zappa” Blocklinger started off the night losing his first game then winning five games in a row skunking  “Bad Betty” Morehouse in game five before losing two games but winning his last game to complete his 13 Pt. 6 W 28 Spread Card for first place money.

      Dick “The Grumbler” Taylor was unable to put together any kind of a winning streak but managed to skunk Shirley “Buzz Saw” Guest in his last game to collect fourth place honors only with an 11 Pt 5 W 18 Spread card.

SPECIAL POOLS

 

      John “Rotten” Reed found the Crib Flush tonight in his first game. It is now closed along with the Raggedy Andy which was taken last week. All of the other special hands are still open.

 

  28/29  POOL

 

            One attempt to drain the pool tonight as “Saweet” Johnny Hensley held a J and three 5’s but only managed to cut a K for no help. Had the 5 of Spades been cut it would have been a 29 hand. The pool is capped at $511.00 for now.

 

 Skunk Fund

 

             The skunk fund was not so prosperous tonight. It received only $0.75 by the end of the evening. WE STILL THANK ALL OF YOU!! 

  

DIRECTOR’S NOTE

                   

             Zeke "Da Zappa" Blocklinger was the head judge tonight, thanks for your help.
