It was an old school reunion night for the third game of the 2007 season at the spiritual home of TPS, Paul's house. With the return of old timers Graham, Dennis and Chris and Arcade Fire on in the background it was like the heady days of 2005 all over again.
Graham might have wished he'd stuck to patching up stab victims* as he was the first to flunk out loosing most of his chips by hoping that his pair of ducks would stand up after an all faces flop. Instead they lay sprawling on the ground, rapidly loosing blood like a just-knifed tourist on the 'Golden' Mile.
'I'm gutted' said Graham afterwards.
New meat Mark blagged everyone that he didn't know how to play and won table 1, picking up four of a kind 8's along the way.
Over on Table 2 things where somewhat slower, not surprising when Tatter 'The Tortoise' is involved but unfortunately his slow and steady approach didn't pay off this time. Bubble Boy John hoped to make his second final table in a row but instead carried on the retro theme of the evening by going out 4th after getting knocked out by Dennis.
As 1 am loomed the final table got under way and by ten past Mark was phoning a taxi. The rest battled it out into the small hours, eventually boiling down to a heads up between 'Mr Consistency' Sids and winner of TPS8 `05 Kev R.
Riggers won and took second spot on the All Time Leader Board from Tatter, closing the gap on top place Paul to just 14 points, and moving up to second place in the 2007 table, just 3 points from league leader Sids, the only player to point in every game this season so far.
