Piranha Poker Team welcomes new player Rod Flora who joined us for the first time <span class=\"aBn\" tabindex=\"0\" data-term=\"goog_1892352107\"><span class=\"aQJ\">this Saturday<\/span><\/span>. We started with five tables, with the very first elimination breaking the tables down to four. There were only a few down by the time the first break came, and eliminations happened relatively slowly throughout the day.<\/p>\n<p>A pivotal hand came while we were hand-for-hand on the bubble.After a pre-flop raise and call, flop came QJ7. Jeanette shoved, and had Sheng barely covered. Sheng tanked for some time before calling with Q8, which held out against Jeanette\u2019s pocket pair (Jacks if I recall). With the bubble crippled, we had our final table after the next hand.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/piranhapokerteam.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG_0535.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1353\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1353\" src=\"http:\/\/piranhapokerteam.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG_0535-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_0535\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/piranhapokerteam.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG_0535-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/piranhapokerteam.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG_0535.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Later, when we were 6 handed, Bill with AK, doubled up Victoria (44) when the flop came and 4 showed up in the window.

With only three regular season tournaments to go, and the distance between 7th and 13th place a mere 30 points, this summer\u2019s final lineup is still yet to be decided.
