2008  Championship Tournament

Bob Thornton Wins it All! 

 

The Players...

 

 
December 5, 2008 held our 2008 Tournament of Champions at the Swim and Tennis center within the King and Bear at World Golf Village.

Our Players...

Rich Dawson, Carolyn Sanders, Jack Philbin, Travis Cochrane, Bob Thornton and Steve Smith.

Steve went out early.  He just was not getting any cards. And, when he did...he got no matches on the flop.  Jack Philbin had a huge chip lead early on but as you know..."the cards change."

Our championship table had our winner, Bob Thornton down to one chip with only four players remaining. ..And still came back to win it all. 

The final three players were Bob, Carolyn Sanders and Travis Cochrane.  Carolyn's magic from Tuesday's game let her down and just could not get anything to match.

She went out in third place which left Bob and Travis to battle it out for the final showdown.

Travis had also come back from being down to only a couple of chips and "all-in" several times during the competition.

In the final hand... Bob came though to win it all.

 

The Game...

Congratulations are in order to all our past champions who participated in our final event of the year.

Here are a couple of photos from the event.
