Big Games at Corky's!

Last Saturday night, Mike C. (Corky) hosted 18 players for more than 7 hours of poker at "South Donkeytown!"

Game 1 was a $10 buy-in event, and was split into a separate game on each table.  At table 1, Ken M. outlasted Jeremy J. to take the $55 first prize, while Jeremy earned $25 for second place.  At table 2, Aaron B. and Mark T. chopped the top two prizes for $50 and $40, respectively.  Joe R. took $28 for the Game 1 "high hand" contest with Aces full.

Game 2 was the main event of the night, with a $40 buy-in and 18 players on two tables.  Donkeytown rookie Steve C. built a good stack early and held the lead for most of the game, and in the end he and fellow Donkeytown rookie Bob S. went heads-up.  The lead traded hands several times, before Steve finally took down first place and a $320 payout.  Bob earned $190 for second, while Dave T. ($130) and Brad F. ($80) rounded out the money spots.

The high hand of $90 for Game 2 went to Aaron B., when he turned his pocket tens into quads (10-10-10-10-A) early on in the game! 

With the victory and large payout (relative to usual Donkeytown payouts), Steve nearly vaulted himself into "King of Donkeytown" status!  Tom is still hanging on by a thread, with Steve a close second and Dave T. also closing the gap with his 3rd place finish.  Steve did manage to take over the 2010-2011 Donkeytown money list at +$270, while Dave T. is a close second at +$237.
Very special thanks to Corky for hosting such a large group, and creating a great poker room in the garage, complete with Sloppy Joes and snacks for everyone!
