We had nearly a full table of 9 players for a $30 buy-in event on Friday night:

Aaron B.
Bob T.
Darren C.
Dave Co.
Dave T.
Eric H.
Ian B.
Mike C.
Tom H.

Congrats to Mike for coming back from a short stack and taking down first place for $135! Tom H. finished second after donkey-calling with K-8 against Ian's 8-8, and hitting a runner-runner straight, to make it into the money. (good to know that First Bank of Ian is open late on Fridays). Bob T. took third place.

Ian took early lead in the "high hand" contest, turning his Q-9 into Q-Q-Q-9-9 on the very first hand of the night, but later Dave Co. had A-A, flopped a set of Aces, but needed the board to pair on the river just to stay alive, as Eric made a straight on the turn. A King hit the river, giving Dave A-A-A-K-K for the high hand of the night and $45.

Next game: Corky Cup III on Friday, November 6! Per Ian's request, I am creating a new "More Gay Songs" playlist on my iPod in preparation for the big event...
