This past Saturday Cassandra and I hosted our first Support My Tribe poker game.  First prize was a box-framed canvas print (24x30 inches) of some poker art work I had created + a print.  Second place got two prints, third and fourth each got a print. 

The battle was fierce.  Ken stepped up early with some hyper-aggressive play and started bullying the table by instilling fear in their hearts.  The hand of the night occured when Mike flopped a full house and baited a trap for Ken.  They got all-in on the turn and Ken flipped over kings; he was dead to a king.... which happened to fall on the river (3.8% odds).  Ken added to his stack.

A short time afterwards Landa got involved in a few hands with Ken and started adding to her stack.  It wasn't long before she took over and we had a new chip leader!  Steph watch Ken and Dan and Landa battle and eventually Landa prevailed.  Steph and Landa remained.  At this point Landa had about 95% of the chips on the table so the heads-up action was shortlived and Landay took it down!

Thanks so much to the 11 players that cam to play.  Prizes were all art and all proceeds from player buy-ins, as well as a few print sales, go to the SMT fund.  We raised $400 with this game and those funds will be given to two friends who have been in rough shape financial due to medical issues.
