was the invite that entered my inbox about 3 weeks ago, which i subsequently dismissed cause i dont play poker - things have changed!

decided to join in and play and what an evening we had.

having moved into a new digs, this marked the first evening that the digs would venture out in unity. after a quick beer and even quicker driving by fellowes we arrived late...we were by a group of keen poker players and a pot of R2000.

split into two tables, at table one was:

1. chippie - adam
2. honest al - alisdair
3. ben - duncan
4. stickyfinger - neil
5. brad - big top (BT)
6. spiro - ????

after a number of high rolling rounds, we managed to eliminate a few players, subsequently deciding that should one of the three digsmate win the pot, the money would be put towards a new washing machine for the digs...

we had until 11.30pm in order to have three players to go through to the final, we were done by 10.30pm with chippie, BT and ben going through to the final...some players less worried about the jacks in there hands and more worried about the amount of ice keeping their jack cool!

the final came and went quickly for most, other than fellowes and the infamous goose from table #2 who by the end of the evening where placing everything they had on the last few rounds...needless to say that fellowes came through!

so the next morning we took a sojourn off to "game" where we purchased a LG Fuzzy Logic washing machine...and we called it "gunner", after the infamous poker player!
