West Donkeytown

Ian hosted 5 other players for three games on Saturday night in Spring Lake.  Because everyone who has played recently at Donkeytown was invited to the game, we decided to make it an officially-sanctioned Donkeytown game!

Jeremy J., Bryan O., Mike C., Tom H., and Dave T. joined "King Ian" for the first two $20 games.  The first one proved difficult to reach a conclusion, as the blinds reached the final levels before any players were eliminated.  Eventually, with the blinds at 3000/6000 for some time, Dave T. prevailed over Jeremy to take Game 1 and $80, while Jeremy pocketed $40.

Game 2 played with an accelerated blind structure to finish more quickly, and did it ever!  The blinds had just reached 800/1600 before Ian was the only one left standing, knocking out Tom on the 2nd heads-up hand.  The payouts were the same as Game 1, $80 for Ian and $40 for Tom.

Mike, Tom, Ian, and Dave remained for one final game, and the rich got richer while the poor got poorer.  Ian took 1st place yet again over Dave, earning them $60 and $20, respectively.

Ian has taken a stronghold of the "King of Donkeytown" title.  It will likely take multiple in-the-money finishes, and a sudden slump for Ian, for anybody to overtake him.  Jeremy passed Tom for 3rd place in the King standings, otherwise the order is unchanged near the top.

Thanks again to Ian for hosting the first-ever Donkeytown road game!
