Mike Mangles...

For the second tourney in a row Andy saw heads up action... this time a new Champ was crowned. In the end Mike B. was the last man standing in this deep stack tournament. The pivotal hand came when Mike looked up Jorge's bluff and raked a HUGE pot. After that it was smooth sailing for Mike as he rode his large chip lead all the way to the end. Congrats Mike, well played.

As usual the cash game went well into the wee hours of the morning, in fact, if Shane didn't have to work we may still be playing now! This will likely be the last tournament before I leave for Iraq, but I might try to get in one more cash game!! Thanks to everyone for showing up and helping make another successful event.

I was able to play a deep stack tourney because I ordered about 400 more chips. I'd like to take a moment to give a plug to www.HoldemPokerChips.com . If you are in the market for some high end chips I definitely recommend them. Their customer service is superior, their prices are fair, and Michael supports our troops by offering FREE shipping to APO.
