EVENT HAPPENINGS

    Dick “The Grumbler” Taylor had a good night skunking “Captain” Jack Stemmer in his first game then losing two in a row.

   Shirley “Buzz Saw” Guest got stuck with groups of three tonight. She won her first three, lost her next three then won her last three also skunking “Captain” Jack Stemmer along the way to complete her 13 Pt. 6 W 86 Spread Card for third place money.

SPECIAL POOLS

 

     The Crib Flush and the Raggedy Andy are now closed but the other special hands are still open as none were taken tonight.

 

  28/29  POOL

 

            Four attempts to drain the pool tonight as “Captain” Jack Stemmer held a Q and three 5’s but only managed to cut a 2 for no help. Next try was Shirley “Buzz Saw” Guest with a 10 and 3 5’s cutting only a 4. Along came Dick “The Grumbler” Taylor with 3 5’s and a J, an 8 cut didn’t help. The last one being J.R. “The Spoiler” Cast  holding 3 5’s  and a K  this time a J  was cut still not helping. The pool is capped at $511.00 for now.

 

 Skunk Fund

 

             The skunk fund was a little more prosperous tonight. It received only $1.50 by the end of the evening. WE STILL THANK ALL OF YOU!!
