Pre New Years Eve Poker Party

12.28.2007

The new poker chips work great! I came in second last night despite not catching very good cards and getting sucked out on all night. It was awesome having Victor Sizemore host the party for a change... his home is amazing and he's an awesome host. Here he is with some peeps serving Graeters Ice Cream which he has shipped in from his home state of Kentucky.

We also had a white elephant gift exchange, where we were supposed to bring the worst gift that we received this year and re-gift it. Sara France opened up a Steve Irwin toys set complete with sting ray. The crowd gaffed because that seemed to be in bad taste. Although she ended up with some Beano, which she doesn't seem as excited about.

Jess seems uncomfortable about what is in this box. Anyone care to guess what was in it?

Back to the poker, things got serious once I made the final table and had to bust out my glasses and hoodie:

Some guy named Jason won the who thing, with me and Jess coming in 2nd and 3rd. I didn't take his picture because I was bitter. I don't like losing. I guess I am a little too competitive that way. Actually, Jason O'hare is a great guy and an excellent player. He has won the whole thing at my house in the past. I may have to stop inviting him. j/k.

Good times!

EDITED TO ADD:

I forgot to take pictures of my new chips last night but I snagged this fine photo off of Ma5en's blog:
