The crowd demands a recount!
The dust has cleared from the 4th annual Chipotle Poker Challenge 2007 and for the first time, I have emerged victorious… relinquishing the tired onslet of host winning party “fixed” jokes. How’d I really do it?
Well, after a couple hours being low on chips, the big hand happened. Jeff, feeling the escalating blinds burning his feet, took a chance with suited 7,8 and went all in. Jeff’s money plus the blinds and antes looked quite appealing so I moved all in to scare others from getting Jeff’s chips. Well, Ian happy with his King, 10 called, putting himself all in as well. I had Ace, Jack suited. Would you believe the 5 community cards did not pair anyone and I won with Ace high!
That hand bolted me to 2nd highest stack, but I slowly lost my money to the low of after getting Paul out to make it to the final 2, I faced Johnny head to head - John with 10 times the chips. (Just like a lawyer, big stack, small assets). Well, I caught some lucky cards & went all in a couple times. John, hoping to catch some action and end the game called me, and in the end, I walked away with the cash.
But having been the first one out last year, John was quite happy with 2nd place, and his Full house 10’s over Aces won him the best hand prize too. Phil, the first one out, won the loser game, making him the biggest loser and a “winner” all in one night. Of course Brad is the biggest loser being stuck in some crappy far off place, while we drank and were merry.
Looking for a new sponsor, though, Chipotle did not provide any favors even for a party named in their honor.

Yes, I was the biggest loser. I wasn’t even in the far-away land during the tournament, I was stuck on a plane. Maybe Igloo Brewing Co. can be next year’s sponsor with some Michigan Sucks Blueberry Ale and Yellow Snow Lite Ale.
