Apathy's Final Table

We all went there to cheer for Peter "Apathy" Jetten, and we had the biggest cheering section of all the other players. Maybe not the laudest because The Grinder's mom would take the cake on that one. Then it got to HU and He was the chipleader when all this happened:

"Marty Smyth has the button in Seat 8. He makes it 240,000 to go. Peter Jetten pauses for thirty seconds, then reraises pot to 720,000. Smyth makes the call inside of twenty seconds. A huge pot is brewing. The flop is 6s-9d-Kh. Peter Jetten comes out swinging, betting pot - 1,440,000. Smyth is in the tank. His elbows are on the rail, hands in front of his mouth. He just puffed out his cheeks as he let out a big sigh. He seems to be stuck with a decision he doesn't want to make in a big pot. After a minute in the tank, Smyth moves all in. Jetten wastes no time in calling. Is this it?
Jetten: As-Qh-10h-4s
Smyth: Qs-Js-10s-7h

Incredibly, nobody has a pair. Smyth has a full wrap draw, Jetten not much of anything. The turn comes to fill Smyth's wrap and make him a straight. "You'll never beat the Irish" chants break out from Smyth's cheering section before the river comes down. Jetten needs a jack, and doesn't get it when the river falls. Smyth will double up and take a commanding chip lead."The pot knocked Jetten down to more than a 2:1 deficit but the young Canadian battled back and regained the chip lead with a huge bluff in which he forced Smyth to fold top two pair on a A-9-10-J board. After Smyth mucked A-10 face-up, Jetten showed Q-J-7-6.

After the huge bluff we all explode screaming... uhhhhhhhhhhh...... ahhhhhhh!!! anyway the final hand they both had the nuts straight on the flop and got it in, but Smyth had a flush redraw and of course got there. Sooo rigged!!!
Also The house is now more empty, That was Craig's last night and Jay isn't feeling good so he went to stay with Annette at the Venetian. But then there are new housemates now, Matt "Probability" got here and Kyle and Ed (2 of Greg's buddies) are also here now. I will be going to the casino with Matt to see if I can book out some wins, I'm down 500 for the trip in cash games.

Final note was that we got to meet Greg's family, his mom is so cool and funny.... and Greg cook us some steaks so everything was pretty nice.

"biggest cheering section"???

You're bluffing, sir!

Your boy's fans were outnumbered, outsung and outplayed by the Irish.

GG :)
