Charlie folded what would have been a straight flush.
JJ (QQ) was out first to Dave (AA)
Big split pot (full house) for Sharon and Charlie
I was dumped out next, relegated to the couch to watch the Apprentice
Jude was out next - Charlie saw her off with 2 pairs (K's & 9's) vs her flush draw
Dave (J6) knocked out next by Sharon (23)
Dean's chips ran out at 10.30pm - blinded down to nothing. An hour and a half after he said he would be there. SHAME ON YOU. Lots of people to grass up obviously, this week.
Lee knocked Sharon out with 56 spades vs 58 hitting a spade flush
Dan all in - hit a pair of 6's on the flo. Charlie called (hit a 10) but Q on river gave Dan 2 pair.
Charlie out in 3rd
Lee hit lucky flush to double up heads up and be back in contention
Then, Lee (KQ) vs Dan (JJ) - K hit and Lee winner. Dan 2nd
Game 2 – 8 players - (1st Barry, 2nd JJ, 3rd Dave ):
Blue cards were discarded after Charlie marked the 8 hearts. More shockingly, Lee had spotted it last week and kept shtum. Explains the first game's victory !!
Ilan split a pot with JJ with A low straight, which Ilan hadn't spotted
First beer spillage in the poker suite ---> (no, not Vic), but Farty Dean
Charlie out 1st in 4th hand of game 2 with a straight to Dave's higher straight.
Ilan out next to Dean's KKK
Dan out next running into Dean's full house on flop.
JJ doubled up hitting straight on flop to Dean's 77
Dean (flush) doubled up vs Dave's 2 pair
In two hands, I mullered smelly Dean - first with KK vs his pair of Q's on flop, and then sent him packing with a full house.
Lee was out next to me (pair of 10's).
I then took Dave out with AK vs KQ after both hitting K on flop. Revenge for the abuse after being knocked out in first game. Sweet.
I was big chip leader going into heads up, but JJ fought back but eventually I took it with A2 vs JJ's Q3, after an Ace flopped giving me the victory, and sending JJ to Tesco.
Poker Rankings table for this week:
Conversation Topics:
Dean's no show in game 1 caused a stir. Then, when he did turn up, all he did was eat peas, and fart. Lovely.
Quote of the Night:
Jude: " I went to see Scooby Doo with the kids" [at the theatre]
Charlie: "How did they do the dog ?"
Joke of the Week:
A guy goes to the supermarket and notices an attractive woman waving at him.
She says hello.
He's rather taken a back because he can't place where he knows her from.
So he says, "Do you know me?"
To which she replies, "I think you're the father of one of my kids."
Now his mind travels back to the only time he has ever been unfaithful to his wife and says, "My God, are you the stripper from my bachelor party that I made love to on the pool table with all my buddies watching while your partner whipped my butt with wet celery???"
She looks into his eyes and says calmly,
"No, I'm your son's teacher."

what a goal. I tried this the last time I played football. That was 5 months ago. I pulled my back attempting to cross the ball like this, and now won't play again. Doh !

Last Year's Blog:
JJ was away, luckily, so missed the abuse about Arsenal crashing out of the Champions league. Danisms :
1. According to Dan, having a warm beer is like sleeping with a beautiful girl, only to find that it’s your sister. This provoked some discussion over whether this would also apply in Dan's World if you found that it was a bloke and how exactly the mechanics of that would work anyway.
Wouldn’t you get a bit suspicious when told to bend over and spread ‘em? Finally, the table concluded that the problem can be solved by simply having the warm beer.
2. Dan also attempted to provoke a discussion on the worst hand that had lost tonight. Luckily, Barry quickly headed this off with a bit of anglo saxon and the word “off”. Seemed to do the trick.
