Event #1 Recap: The ORPL strikes first

Norborne - As the Wedgerock Poker Tourney and the Old Rosedale Poker League combined to form one league, it was the ORPL who drew first blood.

The inaugural event in the Fish N Chips Poker Tour was not your average poker tournament. At least at the blue table, pocket aces were no good; I saw them cracked at least three times. Also, it took longer than usual to combine to the final table. However, once the final table formed, players began to drop in bunches (victims of their dwindling M).

In the end, the ORPL cashed three players and the WPT none (Jim O. has played in the WPT in the past but did not play last season). And although there were four married couples in the field, Nick G. (4th) and Anita G. (3rd) were the only ones the managed to both cash (Jim O. also cashed with his wife was in the field). After Nick and Anita both were felted, Jeff R. and Jim O. were left to go heads up. The two battled back and forth untiel Jeff's ace-seven suited held up against Jim queen-ten offsuit, and Jeff walked away with first place.

Thanks to everyone who came out and congrats again to Jeff R.
