Blogger Poker Tour Event #3 Recap

Ultimate Poker Forum.com Tournament Blog hosts Blogger Poker Tour event #3 Saturday at Poker.com.

The fire department claimed that cyberspace was smoking and came very close to evacuating Poker.com this past Saturday during the BPT tournament.

Mild-mannered blogger CawtBluffin had suddenly caught fire midway through the tournament, blistering the cold grasp of elimination before launching her payload in the general direction of the sacred realm of the Poker Gods themselves. It was like watching Tiger Woods shoot 28 on the back nine at Augusta in a hail storm... after a massive bolt of lightening had just nailed him in the groin on the way to the 10th tee box.

Rod Serling might well have emerged from a greenish cyberfog and provided witty commentary that was dubbed in after knowing the outcomes of all the hands. Chips flocked to CB like magnets to steel. Cawtbluffin had somehow tapped into a higher dimension of poker where one never loses a hand; a plane where untold riches could be realized in never-ending ring games feeding on a steady supply of megarich fishes who keep thinking your luck will run out one of these decades. Such a place could infinitely stretch the limitations of human greed; and generousity might eventually be construed as the very evil that has tricked your exhausted soul into playing one more hand..... a billion times.

Ancient poker scribblings and poems discovered on the walls above and adjacent to - but always within arm's reach - of the hand dug latrines in Mesopotamian W.S.O.P. caves, have long suggested that the 'Poker Immortals' occasionially admit humans into their fold under decidedly random and possibly drunken circumstances. (It is also common knowledge that the most effective card protectors during this period were plucked from these same latrines.)

Although very attractive and desirable, CawtBluffin's name was enough to keep her from being abducted into this potential 'Poker High and Low All Night Club' where they nickname you Lucky. When the Holy Rolling Schmucks caught a glimpse of CB's nametag, the redneck jokes started. "It must be trailor park poker night. I'll see your dentures and raise you one belt buckle!" They laughed so hard that many a lung cookie was dislodged as they all chased their bladders around. Then, through divine intervention, CawtBluffin was dealt the same losing hand as Icarus, Mars Probes, and other ill-fated flights of greatness. CawtBluffin's reign over the poker tournament had symbolically parachuted back to Terra Firma. She was back on even poker ground with her foes ond foettes, but her stack size was now twice that of her nearest competitor and the remaining two tables were only partially full.

. Kufolem, Brunsie, ViezeMan, and brodoughno struggled to make the final ten while CawtBluffin attacked with a display of offensive precision similar to the acrobatic skirmishes simulated in 'The Matrix.' Likewise, elc3105, Hacksaw200, Chatuba, and DavidMalek had also been wreaking havoc of their own and emerged at the final table. Sparks started flying quickly after the field was reduced to ten - two players confidently pushed all-in....both revealed pocket rockets! The trend continued and big hands lost to bigger hands and players fell out quickly. When the dust and green fog lifted, the final three players were in a virtual dead heat. CawtBluffin, kufolem, and elc3105 remained to decide the top three spots. kufolem wasted no time assuming the role of the aggressor, and had soon gained a large advantage. The blinds weren't getting any smaller, and CawtBluffin and elc3105 were scrapping it out just to stay alive. elc3105 finally pushed all-in with King-Queen vs. CawtBluffin's Ace-Ten. The dealer flipped over AKQT so both players had made two pair. But the river was a blank, so CawtBluffin inherited elc3105's remaining chips to take on kufoldem heads-up. kufolem made it quick and painless, winning the tournament on the first hand. CawtBluffin almost had the storybook ending, but after that incredible run of cards it was to be expected. Congratulations to kufolem for the win and this was a very entertaining tournament from where I sat for sure.
