Yet again a newcomer steps up and shows how it's done. The Bearded Bicyclist used his superior fitness to win with finesse.
After a gentle start with lots of skirmishes the chips slowly started to gather around the Monkey and the Bicyclist. Warrior initiated some brave blind battles but the Bearded Bicyclist walked away with the spoils to gain a chip lead. The Groth had both Warrior and Beardy on the ropes with three 8s but a flush let the Bicyclist clean up the biggest hand of the evening to win 75% of the chips on the table!
In a manner that's becoming painfully familiar the Lucky Monkey won some small fry early but failed to capitalise on a full house, so ended up bleeding out in second place; always the bridesmaid.
