Peasant Poker Investors see Return

The Proud Champion

Tonight we had a turnout of 19 players in our Weekly Wednesday 6-Max.

The final four players this week were; Elliot, Alex, Asj and Karl

Asj got his chips in pre against Karl. K6 spades vs pocket 4's. The flop was a miss for Asj, the turn delivered Karl a set and the river was of no help. 2 7 9 4 J on the board.

Elliot managed to outplay Peasant poker's "Alex El Mayo" into doubling up his stack twice.  Alex turned up his game and obtained KK and convinced Elliot to call. Q T 8 Q J allocated the 9 4 pro the chips he had lent.

Heads-up we had Karl and Alex. The two played out for around 15 minutes before the final hand unfolded. Alex started the hand with a pre-flop raise and got a call. A C. bet on the flop was followed by an all-in by Karl, the Peasant calls. Alex had top pair with AJ and Karl turned over middle pair with T4, 5 J T on the flop. 9 on the turn and river didn't change how it stood.

A well deserved win for Alex, a sure boost for all his fan-boys and girls.

Big Wednesday



We had 29 entries to the Weekly Wednesday 6-Max this week, the prizepool was just under $2,300.

We paid down to 5th this week, the lucky/skilled 5 this week were; Elliot, Clyde, Levi, Matt and Ray.

5th place went home with Matt. After losing the majority of his stack, Matt was sitting on two BB, on the BB. Matt got called by Elliot (UTG) and Levi on the SB. Matt had 96 up against J8 and A8. K 4 7 Q J, all the rounds were checked down and 9 high (like a boss) wasn't good enough for Matt this time.

Next to take a prize home was Elliot, he went up against Ray pre-flop with A2 vs KT. A big hand had taken its toll on Elliot's stack and he was left with just over 20k. K 7 7 J 8 came out on the board and Elliot got sent packing.

Levi managed to make it to the $$$ on his 1st tournament and ended up taking home 3rd place. In his final hand he was taken out by Clyde with a pair of Q's. Levi with A6 and Clyde with QT on a 4 3 8 Q 7  board. Nice effort Levi!

Ray and Clyde played it out heads up for around 20mins until the crucial hand. No action pre-flop except a call for the SB and a check on BB. The fop came out T Q 9 and Clyde pushed all-in... Ray was pretty pleased to flop 2 pair and he called. Ray had Q9 in the hole vs Clyde's J4. Turn and river came 2 7 (dodging Clyde's open-ender) and Ray's two pair were more than enough to win him the 1st.

Ray also won a bonus pair of Dunedin Casino socks to help him run good in future tournaments.

Short and Sweet


We had a modest 13 turn up to this weeks Wednesday 6-max Tournament. With quite a few rebuys and addons, we still got a prize pool of over $1000.
It was quick to make a final table.

Of the final table, we paid the top 3. They were Eva L, Dan H and Martin K.

Eva was the first to bite the dust, going all-in preflop with 9-8(d), Martin called with pocket 4's. Nothing showed on the board (2-7-K-J-5) so the pair of 4's held.

At heads-up, Dan goes all-in with A-2. Martin called and had A-9. Board was 3-9-5-Q-6 and Martin's pair of 9's were good enough to take out Dan and take the tournament "W".

Thanks to all those that played and congratz to our winners.

Join us next week, same time, same place.

X "Marks" the Spot for the Bounty


We had 18 Bounty-Hunters show up at Dunedin Casino today, all eager to take each other out and claim their bounty.

Just two tables running, each of them having one player striking hot and taking some early bounties. One player in particular was highly skilled in claiming the Bounty (bars that is) from just about every player on her table.

With a prize-pool of almost $3000, final four were paid. They were Gavin B, Andrew A, Dan H and Mark N.

Andrew shoved all-in after the board 6-5-A-2-5 came out. He had pockets Ks, but Mark quietly had 3-4 in his hand his straight gained him another bounty.

Mark later went all-in pre-flop with A-Q. After a bit of pondering, Dan called with A-10. Board A-3-8-4-4 meant the Q played and Mark continued his streak. Dan still left with a nice 3rd prize plus 6 bounties (2nd most bounties in the tournament).

After a wee deal, Mark pushes all-in pre-flop with A-Q again. Gavin snap-calls blind and has 2-9. With nothing on the board but a pair of 3s, A-high took it out. Game, Set and Match.
A valiant effort by Mark, leaving with his prize money plus a whopping 9 bounties.


Thank you to all that showed up and we will see you on Wednesdays.
Keep your eyes peeled for details of the next Deepstack tournament. Watch this space

Mid Week Bounties @ the Weekly Wednesday 6-Max

Craig R with his winning hand + Bounties


This week we had 21 Players in our Weekly Wednesday 6-Max. We had some bonus Bounty Bars for the later knockouts in the tournament.

Top 4 this week came down to; Craig R, Eva, Charlotte and Brendan.

In fourth place this week was Charlotte, she pushed with AQ and got a call with K3. The board was not as forgiving, two pair on the flop for Brendan made the pursuit less likely. K 3 J 4 8, two pair held up for Brendan.

Craig managed a triple up when got called twice with a low Ace and managed to hit trips on the river.

After a couple of swings in chips, Eva was left with just over a BB, she pushed all in on her SB, Craig called. Eva had 85 against Craig's T3. Eva flopped a gutshot straight and got it on the turn... Cruelly Craig scored a straight a point higher with a 9 on the river. Community cards: 7 9 7 6 8.

A small deal was made to boost up 2nd place. Neither player would miss a chance for some live heads-up play, Brendan and Craig played it out for the glory. In the Final hand, Brendan called Craig's BB. Craig was not allowing limps this round and raised to 27k (just under 4x), Brendan tested the water and pushed all-in, snap call from Craig. KT up against Craig's AQ, Ace on the flop and the rest is history. A 6 9 8 9.

Well done to all those who cashed this week (and those who won bounty bars).
