Tournament Poker Club game coming March 2

Those who would like to play a fun and friendly game of Texas Hold ‘Em with the Tournament Poker Club for a $5 buy-in are welcome to attend the next Saturday tournament on March 2. Regular tournaments are on the first three Saturdays of every month in the lobby of Clubhouse 6. Registration begins at 10 a.m. along with treats and coffee. Cards are in the air at 10:30. There is no late seating.

On Feb. 10 the club had a great turnout for the week’s tournament. As the winners of their original tables, the final table players were: Joseph Wierszbieki, first place; John Burns, second; Tony Canfora, third; Doug Wolfe, fourth; Lem Hall, fifth. About 45 players started the game and at the final table play continued until Burns and Wierszbieki were head’s up. The flop came J-J-Q and holding 5-3 Burns went all in and was called by Wierszbieki holding 9-8. The turn was a 2, which was no help to either player. The river card was a K, which didn’t change the outcome, giving Wierszbieki the winning hand of 9-8 of clubs.

Wierszbieki has lived in Leisure World and been a member of the poker club for about a year. This was his second final table win at regular tournament. In addition to tournament poker, Wierszbieki enjoys golf here in Leisure World.

The club congratulates all the winners.
