Season 2 - Game 7 - Gav smokin' hot.

The Jamie Thomson invitational was notable for having two casualties pre-pizza which may be a first. Perhaps most surprising was the disappearance of the eponymous Coco Jambo who retreated to his scratcher less than two hours into the game. Birthday boy, the Mourning Finch, chose to slumber gently at the table with Joe successfully saving his slow motion tipping beer in true Alan Rough style.

Jonny came hoping to sprinkle some magic dust on the proceedings and his powers did indeed produce two zombies in true Voodoo style. Finch was first out; brazenly raising Guvnor's value bet and then calling an all in with a pair of kings versus a club flush.



After a refreshing table snooze the Mourning one re-bought and then proceeded to go out first again, but much, much, much later on.

After pizza it was decided to split Coco Jambo's chips seven ways and the game proceeded at a pace which could be outstripped by a snail. I think Jonny bought in, but I may be wrong.

Intense inebriation, questioning of the most simplistic of rules i.e. putting in blinds and on going food/drink spillages were only helped/hindered by the addition of the Guvnortron. At one point Nigellus made the sage observation that 'The Guvnortron is really only good if the people playing are interested in playing poker' never a truer word has been spoken in jest!

Things hotted up to such an extent that the Guvnor had to strip to the waist much to the amusement/lust of his fellow players and his returning wife to be who slagged him off mercilessly in front of his shocked friends who, in their embarrassment, felt obliged to join in the mockery of their host.

Joey T got the first triple six for many, many games, a hand Guvnor was more than happy to lose. 'Praise the Dark One, he forsakes us no longer' chanted the acolytes of Beelzebub. Unfortunately, it was not a pocket paired trip six so the hand of evil's pot continues to bloat like Satan's unemptied nut sack.

Things get very hazy regarding who was in and who went out, but the final three were Andy, Gav and Fray. At about 3.30am Andy decided to start going all in every hand 'for the good of the game'. Unfortunately, for the Guvnor, these hands usually only included Andy and Fray. This unforeseen generosity soon resulted in Fray mopping up all Andy's chips.

At 4am, the host decided he could take no more and quickly arranged a deal with the big silversmith and the game came to a halt.
