EVENT HAPPENINGS

                                                                                                                                                                                     

          "Bad" Betty started off  the evening again losing her first two games then went on a tear putting together five straight wins before she lost to "Captain" Jack Stemmer. She recovered  to win her last game and knock  "Old #1" Martin Hellberg out of the money and points race to finish with a 12 Pt. 6 W 35 Spread card and first place money tonight.

    

         Jim "The Teach" Duff  was hanging around to see if his 12 Pt. 6 W 17 Spread card would hold up for first place tonight as there were three people sitting  with 10 Pt. cards and capable of finishing with 12 Pt. ones. One person pulled it off so he had to settle for a second place finish.

          

     Ken Cochlin visited us tonight from Tri Cities  to see if he could carry off some cash tonight. He did finishing third with an 11 Pt. 5 W 49 Spread card. He left without his winnings thinking an. 11 Pt. card would not collect anything  but it was and he will be given his winnings.

.   

    "Lethal" Lisa Duff  lost her first game then bounced back and won the next three before losing and winning and still managed to pull together an 11 Pt. 5 W 20 Spread card to collect fourth place money but no points tonight.

SPECIAL POOLS
            John "Rotten" Reed opened up the pools tonight with the Crib Flush in his second game. "Bad" Betty Morehouse added to her first place money tonight hitting the Raggedy Ann. "Rotten" had an unusual streak of cards tonight hitting the 23 hand in his game 8 and then picking up The Wheel in his crib in game 9. This leaves the Crib Flush and the Raggedy Andy available to win when we return to regular play.

 

   28/29  POOL 

 
       "Bad" Betty Morehouse
reported the only tries
for a 28 hand tonight holding 3 5's and a 10 but only cut a 3 in her game three. The other attempt came in  her game nine when she held 3 5's and a 10 but only cut an A for no help at all to this hand.

          The skunk fund was almost bare tonight. It received only $.75 by the end of the evening but, WE STILL THANK ALL OF YOU!!
