Bottleneck produced a willing fivergiver in the form of Nico, an apparent newcomer to the Great Game. With a Hand Ranking scrawled upon a post-it and the usual impeccable standard of advice from various regulars in either fluent French (The Doctor/Bottleneck) or remedially slow and over-pronounced English (The Raiser/Killawatt), the newbie quickly acclimatised establishing a very conservative game.
Bottleneck fell first straight after the munchy break, continuing his gentlemanly insistence on allowing others to win. The Doctor was next to hit the baize chin-first after an earlier previous attempt to go all-in and crash out (against Megawatt's 9-9-9-9) which was scuppered when the latter mis-bet in a four of a kind panic.
Our nouveau French friend rolled over in 4th place, it goes without saying that it's a great result in our shark pit. By this time Megawatt had built up a bit of a chip lead, Killawatt had fluctuated a bit without being able to assert his championship authority, although it was around now The Raiser's chip stack began to build with a rough chip share of 50%-25%-25% (Raiser-Watt-Watt).
The Raiser shall now indulge himself!!!
Killawatt, after expertly managing to put down Q-10 with a 10-4-4 flop v The Raiser earlier (who held and raised A-10), a pot re-raise by The Raiser allowed him to re-raise with A-K, all-in for about 3,800. The Raiser could cover it and keep 300 in defeat or put out The Unputoutable One!!! The Raiser called with 10-10 dreading that the Killa had a higher pair, instead, it was a 'Classic Texas Hold 'em Coin Flip'. The Unputoutable One suddenly doubled up, The Raiser left clinging onto 3x100 chips.
Next hand The Raiser was BB, which was 600, so all-in again. This time a 3-4 off suit which 'held up', doubling up His Grumpiness to BB level.
Next hand The Dealer deals The Raiser 9-9 and he's all-in, third hand in a row. Megawatt raises all-in with gash (might have had an A) and Killawatt calls with a feckin 10-10 (see 2 hands ago), which feckin holds up. And that was that!!!
