2014 - Game Two - Result

PP$ Baby Coup
Wee Rambo snaffled the 20 points in his first appearance of 2014, concurrently launching a takeover of the PP$ by it's Baby Crew, Petawatt having taken Game 1.

With the virility of youth taking a tight grip on this years championship, questions will increasingly be asked about the fitness of some of the older members of the collective, at least until these whippersnappers relinquish their monopoly of the wins column.

Wee Rambo's match winning hand was an 8-5, having earlier dispatched a dispeptic GingaGrandRadge with an 8-6. The crotchety response to this unfortunate exit from the ornery former champion had your humble scribe grabbing for his thesaurus.

Bonfire - Back in fashion
The Grandfather of Gingia left the game third to last in 7th place. The first departure of the night, from both game and premises belonged to the reigning champ, El Abuelo Bonfirio, dumped out on his 'airy 'erse in 9th by Dr Old. The board including K-Q-J-10 favoured the former, but the ageing Dr made a club flush. The Greying Bonfire can console himself with this observers observation that the beard appears to be making a return to commonplace usage.

Fallen giant, Killawatt, soon to be renamed something as amazingly witty as K'oldandpastit, finished 8th. He was splatted in a three way involving the then Championship Leader, Petawatt (K-K) and comedy goofball The Gynaecologist (A-J suited). K'oldandpastit grimly clutched his pocket 9's life raft as his chips drifted off slowly into the distance.

The Brittleneck was surprising even himself at his continued involvement, not bad for a man of his years, but it wasn't to last. His method of dispatch was an A-3 v A-10 with a 10 on the flop, Wee Rambo being the ruthless assassin taking the third of his five victims for the evening.

Beardicus Australicus
With big blinds now at 600, Doctor Auld finished 5th. Having taking a right kicking in turns from rapscallions-in-arms Petawatt and Dunderfunk, Wee Rambo performing the last rites as The Doc found himself down to 300 in chips. I followed soon after, bleeding down to 200 and not finding the necessary miracles for a resurrection.

Baby Crew co-chairman Petawatt expired in 3rd, another creditable performance. Somewhat unfortunate to see his A-7 shafted by 8-7 clubs when the board brought J-10-9 clubs for Wee Rambo. But only one stripling could win and it wasn't to be him. The senicide was delayed only momentarily.

Dunderfunk was all that stood in the way now for the Peni-Mini-Stallone. But when ageing Aces D tripped a 10 on the flop and sat on them, he was gazumped by another Wee Rambo flush on the river swinging the game towards the Phantom Phlusher. The end was harsh for Dudderflunk who felt quite chirpy atop Q-8, especially when his adversary showed a dominated 8-5. But big Wee Rambo stormed home from behind to take the shekels and first place in the fledgling 2014 Championship Table.
