We had our official flat leaving party on Saturday night. It started of as a deep stacks, long blind, poker tournament and we had nine players, which is a few more than normal in our game.

Usually we have several short poker tournaments which means there can usually be a few winners throughout the course of the evening. Since this tournament was meant to be special, we quadrupled the buy-in, and ensured that it lasted most of the evening.

We were going to buy a trophy for the winner, but in our usual badly planned way we didn’t bother, it’s going to be an annual tournament so we may still get one. We did manage to get a prize for the first player out though.

It was called the Mmmbop Award and was a copy of the first Hanson album.

My flatmate Dave was the winner of this unfortunate award, and for the rest of the year will now go by the name Mmmbop. What makes it even funnier is that he’s the most unbelievable critic of anything he doesn’t like, and he really hates Hanson.

I have to give congratulations to Barry who managed to win the 1st Annual Tournament, crushing Keith in drunken heads up play. Barry managed to wipe out at least four of the nine players, including Dave, and Myself.

It’s a very fitting win as the tournament was his idea.

So congrats again Barry
