             Ms. Sweety fell in love tonight with Pat "Driller" Jungmann and he couldn't keep his hands off her either. She visited him three times tonight, the first time in game 3 then twice in  game 6 with "Easy " Ed Baustian, after a short visit with Tom "Trooper" Varnell in game 4. That turned out to be where she spent the rest of the evening in Pat's loving hands.
 
EVENT HAPPENINGS         

           
First 
was Tom "Trooper"  Varnell  with a 16 Gm Pt, 7 W, 166 Spread Pts. card
tonight. Tom lost his second game to Pat "Driller" Jungmann but then ran off 6 straight before losing his last one to "Saweet" John Hensley.

 

           Pat "Driller" Jungman came in second tonite with a 14 pt. 7 W 84 spread. He started off the night by winning three straight. He then lost his next two games but recovered and won three more in a row before succumbing to his nemesis Helen "The Hellion" Daniels for his last loss in his final game.

 

     Wayne " Super Trooper" Van Clausen managed to grab third place with a final game skunk of Dick " The Grumbler" Taylor for a 13 pt. 6 W 69 spread card. He  was only able to put together a three game win streak in the middle of his card but it was good enough to earn him GR points tonight.      

 

     John "Rotten " Reed  grabbed the last money spot of the evening for 4th place with a 12 pt. 6 W 32 spread card. He was not an able to string more than two wins together all night long and even got skunked in game 3 by  "Easy" Ed Baustian  when Ed caught a 23 hand to go out on him. No GR points scored for him either.

SPECIAL POOLS
           
          The special pools are open and Tom "Trooper" Varnell got Raggedy Andy tonight. "Ole #1 Martin Hellberg  caught the Crib flush. "Easy" Ed Baustian first counted his 23 hand as only a 21 as that's what he needed to skunk John "Rotten" Reed in game 3. The Judge was called and he declared it invalid as Ed had taken his hand off the peg after placing it in the win hole. The Judge recanted and awarded him the 23 pool money anyway

28/29 POOL  

          "Ole # 1" Martin Hellberg  started off the evening in game 2 with three 5's and a Jack and cut a nine. Then  DeWayne "Big E " Eisenbarth in game 5 had three 5's and a Jack and cut an 8. "Lethal" Lisa Duff  had a shot in her 9th game with 3 more 5's and another Jack but cut another Jack. Finally in "Bad" Betty Morehouse's last Game with Marty had a shot at a 29 hand with 3 fives and Jack of clubs but only came up with an 8.
