After week 10 of 10 (June 18th, 2025) of the "Chip and a Chair Invitational", we saw a game that was LIGHTS OUT! I mean like literally, as our fantastic venue lost power due to severe storms. Instead of canceling the game, we all pulled out our phones and lit the room up so that we could keep playing. You guys were all so awesome and rolled with it!

In the first game we saw Alan C. and Ryan B. put on an absolute show with a battle for the ages. It was fun to watch and Alan C. made an amazing comeback. In the second game, I had one of the wins that I am proudest of. Jeremy K. is a great player and we have only gone heads up one other time (which he beat me in one hand), so I was happy to even the record. I look forward to the rubber match sir. We would like to honor Ryan B. and Jeremy K. with the second place ribbons this week. Thank you all so much for coming out and playing with us!

After week 9 of 10 (June 4th, 2025) of the "Chip and a Chair Invitational", we saw another name get locked into the tournament with Mike Bu. clawing out of the alternates and making sure he is locked in to go for the championship bracelet! Darin P. put up a good fight but Mike Bu. wouldn't be stopped! We saw Jeremy K. continue to do Jeremy K. things and help Big Sug get another ribbon to build upon his house of 2nd place ribbons. Jeremy is so tough to play against, especially heads up. We give Sug a hard time about his 2nd places, but it is important to point out how difficult it is to get as many 2nd places as Big Sug does. That is solid play, game after game after game! Thank you all so much for coming out! We would like to honor Big Sug and Darin P. with the second place ribbons this week.

Thats a win, a second and a bounty all in the same night. I almost had the double win, but Ryan B. played some great cards and brought home the trophy in the second game. He also brought home THREE bounties that night. Nice work sir! Thank you all so much for coming out! We would like to honor Charlotte L., and Travis H. with the second place ribbons this week.

Huge announcement for the next tournament!! Our current champion, Miya W. will be the last title belt holder as it is being retired at the completion of this 10 week session. We will now be going to a championship bracelet that each champion will be able to keep! We have a couple weeks left to try and get yourself locked into the tournament. Even if you don’t make it this time, you can try again when we roll right into the next 10 week session! Come out on Wednesday nights at The Wooden Nickel II at 6 and 9 to play some free Texas hold’em. Please send me a message if you have any questions or want to find out more about our weekly games!

On Tuesday, May 20th, we had a special hold em' tournament. It was the "One Night Stand" Enduro Tournament. We normally start out with 10,750 in chips during our normal weekly games. For this game we started out with 63,250. People played a lot differently than our normal Wednesday night games, and I would say that we had a lot of fun! The introduction of the blue 10k chip was enough to really change the game play. Thanks to all of you that came out and we want to congratulate Alan C. on bringing home this beautiful trophy. While we often play for the same color or style trophy on many different occasions, we will only ever play for this style of trophy ONE TIME.

After week 7 of 10 (May 21st, 2025) of the "Chip and a Chair Invitational", we saw the field go after the special Memorial Day camo trophies!

Nice work guys. You had some pretty exciting all-ins. Thank you all so much for coming out! We would like to honor Big Sug, and Rob C. with the second place ribbons this week.

Congrats to Nikki T. on getting herself locked into the tournament. Nikki always plays some great cards, but something just happens to push her away from the win. NOT ON THIS NIGHT!!

After week 4 of 10 (April 30th, 2025) of the "Chip and a Chair Invitational", we had a first time winner.

It was a great night and I want to thank you all so much for coming out! We would like to honor Darin P. and Jeremy K. with the second place ribbons this week.

After week 2 of 10 (April 16th, 2025) of the "Chip and a Chair Invitational", we had one of our newer players shine. I want to give a huge shout out to Jill P. for finishing second in both games! In our first game we saw Chris F. bring home the trophy but not before Jill let him know exactly who she is. Way to stick to your cards Chris and bring home one of the new trophies...until you traded it in. In the second game we saw Alan C. doing Alan C. things and fighting off Jill P. to bring home the other new trophy...until he traded it in. LOL!! It was a fun night and I want to thank you all so much for the laughs. Great work to everyone and thank you all so much for coming out!
