FHP ONLINE LEAGUE - HEAT TWO REPORT

Cat Thrash is looking unstoppable, as he captures two for two, and just like in Heat One, he has to defeat a pro heads-up to take down the win.

The Re-buy period is fairly grim for me, despite starting out fairly well, aided by Quad Queens early, and then pocket Queens, which scoop me a big pot when I check to the player in position who had flopped top pair (Jack) with an Ace kicker... she pushed them all-in and I insta-call.

Things get depressing, as people (myself included) insist on giving Rocky chips, the spanner.

Just before the first break, I'm just ahead of the average chip stack, so of course I shell out for the Add-on.

I make a semi-bluff half an hour into the freezeout period with four to the nut flush on the flop and get two players to fold, scooping in a nice pot.

I desperately need a double-up and I pretty much get one, when I flop a set of 4s in position and Doughel bets into me on every street... I push on the river and she/he folds.

A beautiful thing happens as we get towards the final table. The Rock flops two pair, but luckily for us, the1cardinal had flopped the nut straight... unfortunately, Rock has a handful of chips left so we have to put up with his whining for another 2 minutes... until he pushes with the premium hand, Jack, 7 off...

I'm out 12th, when I push with Ace, 8 suited and run straight into doughel's pocket Queens.

The final table showdown is a little hazy as the cash game was full and I was running hot.

SakaiSalmon is out 10th, although I didn't get to see the hand. I have a feeling over the series, this won't be the only time the Salmon makes a final table appearance.

Kpswbc is out 9th when vflkngip isolates him with Pocket Queens, and Kp can't catch an Ace.

Feigos is next when she makes a semi-bluff with Ace, 5 - unfortunately, alanjsy is sitting on Trip Jacks.

Smallyboyyepyep is next and doughel is on the points bubble when she flops a Jack, but the Cat Thrash was slow-playing Queens.

The final five goes as follows:

alanjsy - 1 Point
Vflkngip - 2 Points
Beastnog - 3 Points
DizzzyRascal - 4 Points
Cat Thrash - 5 Points

Will anyone catch the Cat Fiddler? Will the Beast's consistent top 5 finishes secure him a prize? Will Rocky stop being a big gilled, bottom feeding eggplant?

Logon to Heat Three in January to find out!!!

NO ONLINE TOURNAMENT FOR THE NEXT TWO WEEKS - AS THEY FALL ON CHRISTMAS EVE AND NEW YEAR'S EVE.
