Card Night 27-Oct-2011

One of the greatest games in World Series history was on the TV as jackpot fever took over Card Night once again.

It seemed like every hand, at least one player was “one card away” from hitting jackpot.

The best moment, though, came early in the night on a hand of Texas Hold ’em.  Paul had pocket 7s, and when a 7 came on the flop, he bet.  Jeff, the only other player in the hand, folded.  Hand over.  Paul said, “Why did I do that?”  Rabbit hunting revealed Paul would have made quad 7s on the river and taken down over an $80.00 jackpot payout.

And thanks to that, for the ninth Card Night in a row, no one won jackpot.  It now stands at $188.00.

Mark D ‑$66.00
Mary ‑$102.00
Paul +$32.00
Phil +$74.00
Jeff ‑$10.00
Glen +$52.00

Jackpot is now $188.00.

Card Night 20-Oct-2011

Mark DeVol had his worst Card Night ever tonight, dropping $78.00.

That’s right.  After more than ten years of play, a $78.00 loss is his worst Card Night.

Since we started keeping records in 2001, players have lost more than $78.00 in a single night 192 times.  Mark, never.

You could say that he’s just really tight, but he and Paul have been volleying all year for the title of most money won in the history of Card Night.


For the eighth Card Night in a row, no one won jackpot.  Jackpot only increased by $7.00 tonight, due to an accounting error at the end of the night, but it is still at an all-time high of $168.00.

Don’t fold!


Mark D ‑$78.00
Mary +$49.00
Paul +$115.50
Phil ‑$103.50
Jeff ‑$25.00
John ‑$1.00
Mike S ‑$34.00
Glen +$60.00

Jackpot is now $168.00.

Glen was the biggest loser tonight, the first time that’s happened since 08-Jun-2010.  Still, it was only a $59.00 loss, and Glen is still the big winner for the year so far.


No one has won jackpot for seven straight Card Nights, so it now stands at $161.00 (a new record)!

Don’t fold!
