Just like the movie, the dark side never wins, despite always coming close. Vader46 had had an exceptional run, into day two after a brutal day one where he constantly tussled with the Unabomba: Phil Laak.
After lasting out the first session the second day, the poker jedi closed in. His stack was feeling the effects and although valiantly resisting, was beginning to look meek in comparison to some at his table.
After battling out the next two sessions, and stealing some reasonable pots to keep him going, a solid hand and a small stack gave only one option: all in. He opened his play articulately, with a a steady raise expecting to be reraised. His predictions were the envy of a fortune teller as two called his raise and then 1 reraised. The action back on Vader46, he didn’t hesitate before pushing all in with one caller to follow. The KQ suited he turned looked strong, but wasn’t enough to beat his opponents KJ when a Jack flopped shortly after. Knowing he did the best out of all the Carbon players wasn’t any consolation as he took to the cash games to quickly rack up a size able win of $1200. Nice effort Vader!
