Hell has Frozen Over/Revenge of the Squirrels

They say a blind squirrel finds a nut occasionally, but what are the odds that both MPT blind squirrel's find them? Well that was the case last night at the First Annual (that's for you Khyle) Rumble at the Regulators. Both the Magic Man and the Regulator took home Championships. The Regulator came back in game one from being down to his last 300 chips to go head to head with the the Magic Man but couldn't take down the early game championship. Squeaky and Doc reverted to form finishing out of the money and the Musky Boy who was the big stack early ran into the herd of Squirrels to take third. It should be noted that only stellar play by the Musky Boy allowed him to make money as he had to play inferior cards all night. Just goes to show that skill alone isn't enough.

Game two had a different feel but almost the same results as the squirrels finished one two again, this time with the Regulator taking first and the Magic Man taking second. If was a tough game as the cards were difficult to see from the smoke billowing out of the Regulators Bong. Beginner's Luck lived up to his name, as he has not made the money since he burst onto the scene late in 04, by being the first one out. Followed by some rather weak play by Squeaky and Musky Boy. Doc finished just out of the money on the bubble, but seemed content just to take one hit after another off the pipe. Khyle had his chance to make it two for the evening but was run over by the Regulator's full house in the final hand of the evening.

As a side note, this was probably the tightest, best played game we've had in the history of the MPT.

And when that happens, the cream rises to the top.

Even though technically, the second game wasn't official due to low attendance, I think we can officially declare Reg off the shnide don't you think?
