Surprise, surprise! The shadowy figure following Mary into the room was none other than long-lost Frank! Then, a few minutes later, Mark Huyser came sauntering in!
Mark hasn’t played since April 2009.
And Frank hasn’t played since November 2006! He missed 213 consecutive Card Nights between then and now, a new Card Night record for “Longest streak of missed Card Nights between attended Card Nights”.
With nine players and our new affinity for $2-$4 games, the pots got quite large, as is evident by the final results for the night. Still, our old favorite Four-Three provided most of the entertainment.
On one hand, Paul decided to play with 7-7-5-5, a pretty good starting hand because he already had a high, and he could also potentially make a good low. Paul was particularly pleased when it turned out he’d be heads up. However, he wasn’t thrilled when his opponent Mary turned over four clubs. Her chances of scooping were also good. Mary ended up making her flush along with a jack-high for low. Paul didn’t improve on his high and drew a king, forcing him to play king-high for low. Mary scooped a pot of over $35.00.
Mark had never played the game before, and it was a rather rude introduction. He lost a heads-up match, much like his brother. But luckily for him, he later split a pot when everyone convinced him he should stay when it was folded around to just him and another player.
Bill still hasn’t lost in 2011 and remains atop this year’s leader board. And Jeff had another huge night, propelling him into second place on the year.
We celebrated St. Patrick’s Day early thanks to Frank and Mary who brought a bottle of Tullamore Dew, a smooth and malty Irish whiskey.
We also picked our teams for the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament, the results of which you can see here.
