My poker club had our Christmas party tonight combined with our weekly tournament. There were two prizes offered to the “losers”. The first person eliminated and the “bubble player” which is the last person who loses just before the “money table”. We were playing Texas Hold’em.
Well I started out ok and won a few decent pots and then I had a King and 3 of hearts and flopped a pair of Kings and had 4 hearts. I also had a straight draw to the King. The last card was the 2 of Hearts which gave me a very high flush, King high. Reviewing the cards I realized only the ace of hearts could beat me and the player would have to have 2 hearts down to beat me. The only surviving player bet 300 and I bet all in.
He quickly called.
I knew before he flipped his cards he had 2 hearts like me. And one was the Ace.
Sure enough. He had the Ace and 2 of hearts. Had the last card not been a heart I would have won. But that’s poker.
Anyway I was the first to be eliminated and I picked one of the wrapped boxes and opened it. Inside was a neat bracelet with 5 Mercury dimes in it. There was also a pendant made of a cut out Merc.
My wife has claimed both
Took a lot of the sting away. And much easier than having to dig them.
