We won the Cup !!!!!!

We won the Cup !!!!!!

Alreet Stumpy here,

After my op on Monday felt a bit under the weather so I thought I would stay off the drink while me and Mrs Stumpy played in the 1st Cardguardcup Team ame at the Grosvenor. We were playing for a combined Northenlights/ Dobba team consisting of Mr & Mrs Cardguard,Mr & Mrs E,Mags,the Geek,Xenocode,Sean Mcguigan and Mr and Mrs Stumpy. When we arrived had a bit crack with Mags,Fatpants, and the Geek and stayed away from the bar. Got seated and had a canny starting table notables Fatfish guesting for Radgies,Koyte,Portanus,Gaz Walker,valet came and auto asked for corona once I got 1st 5 doon was ok lol,
Sat tight early won small pot with KK and at break was starting stack enjoyed superb buffet by the G returned well fed and ready but lost 2 small pots straight away and now under pressure with 5k then after a Gaz Walker raise I ship with JJ and he makes reluctant call with 55 and the double up I needed. Then I get a few raises through and pick up blinds and antes and shortly after pick up QQ and put small raise in only for Looseman to ship his ss with 66 and now Im sitting on about 30k.Then utg ships Nemisis , I have 1010 and reship Xenocode whose on my team has a hard decision with AK, does he risk shipping and losing and we probably cant win teamgame or fold and hope to double up in better spot. He folds and I win with 1010 but Xenocode would of won with Ace on flop. Wasnt his day as later after building stack back up he lost QQ v Irishandys 87 aipf then Ace 10 v Gaz Walkers AK blind on blind on the bubble, ul Xenocode well played. On the run up to the ft I take ss Micheal 152 out then call a ship from PjbAces with 99 v K10 and I hold to knock radgie Phil out who again played a blinder for his team. So down to the ft and after Mrs Stumpy good 16th place Mags Sean and Xenocode going deep we have points in the bag but the Sensations have 4 left and look nailed on for winning the team game.

We need all the Sensations to bite the dust and then I had to go on and win it prolly a 2000-1 shot.So the final table looked like this

seat 1 sean kane koytes radgies 67k

seat 2 portanus loosemans radgies 73k

seat 3 irishandy sensations 30k

seat 4 stumpy northern dobbas 93k

seat 5 mark graham thomas wilson 60k

seat 7 alison little irish paddy mcaree koytes radgies 56k

seat 8 karl webber jnr geordie poker 134k

seat 9 gaz walker sensations 40k

seat 10 omahaha sensations 23k

1st hand of ft and Webber jnr takes some chips off Portanus next hand its folded to Portanus who double raises from button and I reship from bb Portanus finds the call with A8 v my 88. Ace on the river and Im down to 38k,then we have the 1st Sensation down. Salter allin v Irish paddy AJ v 1010,then next 1 to go was Irish Andy. Portanus min raises to 12k Andy small blind ship for 13k I have 10 7 and peel a flop for 7k more. Flop is 10 8 2 and I ship allin to win a nice little pot and also take out another Sensation. Andy played well all day and enjoyed his company as usual, one day you will run good lol. Then Omahaha finally plays a hand nit A8 v K8 and holds up,then shortly after Omahaha ships again only to be called by Portanus and Mark Graham AK v J 10 v Q 10 flop J10 7 turn 5 rivr J and Portanus takes 2 out!Then Webber jnr AA v Gaz Walker Q 7 commited in bb and we lose Gaz who played a great game for his team so we now have a chance if I come 2nd its a tie and if I win we win the team game. Next we lose Sean who pushes A8 into Portanus who calls nd hits flush with 10d8d, then the 2 bigstacks clash Webber jnr raise Portanus reraise Webber calls. Flop A65 2 diamonds Karl goes allin and Portanus calls. Karl KdQd and Portanus AQ no diamond and Karls out in 4th. So 3 left and Portanus has 450k and I have 45k and Alison has 35k. Alison dups AJ v 42 of Portanus then I get walk Alison ships again Q9 and Portanus calls with K2 which holds and Alison is out after playing a great game. Its headsup Portanus 550k me 50k,I dup AJ v KJ, then Port ships I call me K 10 v Q2 flop A38 turn Q rvr J and right back in it. Then I bluff a few back and get it in again with K9 v QJ and hold,then raise wth 42 called flop AQ8 c bet called turn 5 ck ck river 5 I bet 25k and Port folds. Then i raise with K6 called flop K94 I bet Port ships I call he has K2 so looking like a chop but 3 on turn Q rvr and I take it down. Now me 500k Port 100k and last hand I ship Q 10 called by 74 no help and I win and Team Northern Dobbas win teamgame from the Sensations by 1 point.
