That’s right Poker Junkies its that time of year again where we don our fancy threads and head to The Duke Street Poker Den for The Birthday Big One. with some of the best local players taking part anyone of the 16 Runners taking part could win the £200 first prize… But not only that the winner of this years game will be taking home this Beautiful 15″ Trophy. also the Den will be streaming the final table action via ustream .
What can I say about our first Monthly £30 Freezeout ? For starters I could say we had 13 of the best local players all ready to take down the £200 first prize. I could also say it was one of our most chilled out games with good banter and fair play with some of the best Folds & Calls we have ever seen in the Duke Street Poker Dens five year history. Sonia lee A.K.A Devil Woman and co Den owner took down the win with yet another calm and collective game ( this girl is on fire). Adam Bet Basil also had one of his best games in the Den making calls that wouldn’t look out of place on a high roller table in Las Vegas. The other co Den owner Louie Mucker Bell took 3rd spot with yet another good run. Other points… Amos The Ace Anderson played a solid game and was unlucky to go out on the Bubble.. Riviera Rick went out in 5th spot going out with Aces against Sonia’s Flopped Trip Fives.. Fast Eddie made a return to the Den for this game but was first out. Thanx to all the players who came and took part.
Right poker junkies just a little heads up about sat game… if we dont get the full 16 players we wanted for this game we will only be paying top 3 as we feel that from now on a prize should be worth winning. So the £360 from the 12 players we have so far chops up better for 3 rather than 4. But saying that i am trying my hardest to get the full 16 players so fingers crossed.
The Duke Street Poker Den are going back to there roots by holing only One £30 game per month apart from Bithday games and away games. We have found latley that interest in local poker is on the decline and think that one game per month with a more hefty prizepool will put more bums on seats.
Congrats to Sonia Lee & Jonathan Hunter for winning there seats into the Midsummer Madness £105 Freezeout lastnight. Everyone had a mint night with some great poker played by all. Stay tune as another midsummer sat could be on the cards next weekend if enuff player are keen to take part.
We at the D.S.P would like to Announce that we are running six £12 10 Player Satellites where 6 local players will win a seat in the L.M.C’s Midsummer Madness £105er. To be held at the end of June at the LOW MOOR CLUB Cliteroe. With runners-up of all six games getting there money back so they can have another bite at the cherry.
Well done to Riviera Rick for winning the Birthday Headhunter with some good calls and even better folds on his way to taking this 17 player game Down. Newcomer to the den scott took 2nd.. Wayne who aint played in the den for over 2 Years took 3rd.. Fathands Tony Newlove pulled off a nice 4th spot. The hitman got the last cash spot and 5th spot leaving Fast Eddie with Bubble. Other points…. First out Chris… Birthday boy Mucker came 10th going out to Eddie holding Pocket Aces. Both Mad-ame Mandy & Sonia Laris had no Cards or Luck and dipped out of the event early.
Well done to Tank for taking down the 16 player Fast Eddie Birthday Bonanza lastnight. Tony pulled off a nice 2nd spot with yet more class poker. Newcomer Ade grinded out a good game to land his 3rd spot finish. Sonia Devil Woman Laris showed her Vegas skill is still in full swing with 4th spot…. Well done to all 16 players for taking part a gr8 game was had by all. Next 16 player game is to be held on 3rd of November and will be £25 buyin with only a few seats left open it should be an epic game. With loads of new poker players gagging to get a game in the den the remainder of 2012 looks like its going to be a blinder for local poker.
Ten of the best local poker players are taking part in this birthday Bonanza. Birthday boy’s Tony (Fathands) & Craig (Cards Cavanagh) Both looking at cashing on there birthday game. but with the likes of Muckerbell, Sonia Laris, Riviera Rick, Fast Eddie, Anna G, (Madman) Ian Bentley, Mandy (Smallhands),& Adam bet basil all looking at a top 3 finish it could be a long night.
