Thanks to The Rok, Mrs Rok and Little Rok for hosting BRC XXX, venue was good as was the hospitality, food and refreshments.
As usual there were highlights of the evening:
1. Dinner at the Maso's Club at Mortdale was attended by Rok, BigBluff, Dam It!!, Punter, Jagger and Developer. Late arrival by Jagger and Developer delayed ordering so meals came late and then required some quick eating and drinking to depart.
2. Arrival by the dinner party to the Rok's place was around 8.30pm with Professor and apprentice, Banker and Stats already there.
3. The Sniper sent his apologies by email from Kakadu, NT.
4. All members, wearing hats of various descriptions, waited for Maverick's arrival at the nominated arrival time deadline of 8.42pm which came and went. Maverik arrived around 9pm with $5 in hand for BB. Delay to the wether was blamed for the delay. Photos of the meeting were taken and will be uploaded to the Gallery.
5. Fortunes went around the table with early winners The Professor and the Developer building a chip stack. Jagger was under pressure!! He even spilled a drink onto the table- surprise!!
6. The Developer hit with deadly force, delivering a genuine straight flush to the Jagger's wild card fuelled 5 Aces hand leaving him deflated further.
7. The Constitution was questioned regarding the use of wild cards in a genuine hand on 2 occasions. The question was raised as to whether a wild card can be used as a genuine card where applicable in a hand as a genuine card. Some discussion took place but it was agreed by the majority of members that where applicable, wild cards can be counted as genuine cards if so chosen by the player. It was agreed that the Constitution will be amended to include this rule.
8. BigBluff and Dam It!! both came back from the brink at one stage, going All-In and scooping the pot to live a few more hands before having to cash up
9. Refreshments and sweets were had at the 11pm break. The Rok had decantered a 30 year old port in honour of BRC XXX. Birthday wishes were given to Dam It!!, Stats and upcoming dates for Banker and the big FIVE ZERO for the Rok.
10. Fortunes changed after the break as we moved into the business end of the night. Professor's stack dwindled and the Jagger started to wind up in earnest.
11. The Professor, Stats and Dam It left after midnight, Jagger took the wind out of the remaining members sails with an unseen straight flush built up with wilds after going head to head with Maverick and stealing the pot out of Maverick's hands.
12. With the Jagger now well and truley ahead most members began to fade.
13. Last round, finishing at the Rok, saw the meeting come to a close at around 2am
14. Clear winner of the night - Jagger.
15. Biggest Loser - The Punter
