A Chip and a Chair
I thought I'd be the one to make the big comeback of the night, once down to 40 bucks in chips. Turns out there was a better cockroach than I. Yep, Will was down to ONE WHITE CHIP -- 10 bucks -- and managed to finish first for the night.
It was supposed to have been a small group that would play at Gino's house that Tuesday night. In the text loop, mine at least, were Kimpossible and Yamashita, Aris, and Ryan. None of the FAPA boys could make it that night. Turns out Aris and Ryan had RJ "Gabby Concepcion" and Carlo "Pusoy with the Po-Pos" and his constant companion Borgy with them, Gio had a few friends there already, and he had also texted Franco who in turn texted a few more guys.
All-in-all, 19 playahs showed up at Gino's beautiful house. Man, even before stepping in, I was already envious of the 3 Mini Coopers parked in the garage! Inside, Gino's Interior Designer mom had done a fab job with the place.
Anyway...
At teh 100/200 level, Will was down to a solitary white chip. I had just had several successful all-ins, and managed to get my stack up to more than 1,200.
With that white chip, he was on the button, me on the small, RJ the big, then Ryan, Yamashita, Carlo. I had 9-2 of hearts. Ryan called, as did Carlo. Will of course, went all-in. I, thinking I wanted to conserve the chips I had just made back, folded on the small blind. I was also wary of Gabby Concepcion on my left, thinking that he'd raise after everyone just limped in.
Flop came out 7.8 and 10, pairing thte 10 Will was holding together with a K. Turn was x. River was a 6, giving me what could have been my straight. Will quadrupled up.
Several all-ins later, Will already had 1,200 in chips. I didn't realize we had the same stack at that point, and when he was small and I big, everyone folded to us. he called the minimum, and thinking I was ahead of him, I put him all-in. he turned up Q5o, and I had 10-8. the board paired his 5, and none of my cards. He took me out.
Two hours later, Mr. Chip-and-a-chair had won the 19-seater.
Wow. Damn you Will! lol
Hats off to you bro. May you serve as inspiration to everyone who's down to one chip.
...I could have taken him out...
...and he take ME out!
...sob...
Looking forward to Kimpossible's authentic Vietnamese pho tonight.
