Tournament Poker Club will play Oct. 17 in CH 6

The Tournament Poker Club invites anyone who wants to play a friendly game of Texas Hold ‘Em for a $5 buy-in to play in Clubhouse 6 the first three Saturdays of every month, starting with coffee, treats and registration at 10 a.m. The next game will be on Oct. 17. Cards are in the air at 10:30. There is no late seating.

On Oct. 3, regular high hand winners were Glenn Evenson (J-J-J-J-8), Anne Wilkerson (99-9-9-2), and Katie Hamilton (A-A-A-6-6). There was no winner for the promo hand.

As the winners of their original table, the final table players were: Harold Moorehead, first place; Guta Basner, second; Ray Lim, third; Carol Ostergaard, fourth; Terry Watson, fifth; Anne Wilkerson, sixth; Rolando Ramirez, seventh.

Play continued at the final table until Moorehead and Basner were heads up. In the final hand of the match, Moorehead was holding 9 of clubs and 7 of spades, while Basner had ace and 4 of diamonds. Basner went all in before the flop and was called by Moorehead. The flop came 3 and king of clubs and 2 of diamonds, giving Moorehead the lead with four clubs. The turn was a 10 of clubs, giving Moorehead the win with a flush.

Moorehead has lived in Leisure World for five years and has been a member of the club for a year and a half. This was his first final table win. He is also a member of the Shuffleboard Club, and enjoys playing golf and traveling.
