Due to the elections we all decided that we could stay up beyond our official closing time of 12pm and held the first tournament that was exclusively for the Poker Kings. We played with the blinds being raised every 20 minutes and one rebuy allowed. The game was, of course, Texas Hold'em no limit.

It goes without saying that Adrian was extremely UNlucky, and it had nothing to do with his poker abilities that he was the first player to fall. The next to go was Yossi who tried his normal "rise like the phoenix" strategy, but was unable to pull it off when it counted.

As we got closer to money time there was some tense play between Jonah, Ariel, Rafi and Gary, who were all pretty even. Eric, by this point, was miles ahead of everyone with Rafi having the next largest stack. Ariel made a couple of bold plays, but was next to fall by the wayside. Jonah tried to make his short stack last as long as possible, but with the blinds getting larger he too lost an all-in.

By this point we were down to the money. After a couple of great plays Gary finally bagged third place and it was left to Rafi and Eric to duke it out. Eric was the overwhelming favorite and this was confirmed after he saw Rafi's all-in and took home the winning pot.
