Of the 7 FPL players, 5 attended - Adam, Cameron, Luke, Teddy and myself, the host. Chris was to receive compensation for lack of notice.
The day started - later than expected, due probably to a sock and a carrot - with the chip lead moving around frequently. After a few hours, as form would suggest, Teddy took the lead and was able to keep it. Cameron was second, then Luke, myself, and Adam short stacked. Not too long after the eating of food, I was able to get the first knockout of the match, the league and indeed my own season. Adam fell.
Play went on and it seemed to be heading for a very long and drawn out match. But an hour later, there was more action as, once again I won an all-in showdown, this one against Luke. While Luke had 750 remaining, he was crippled and it was no longer than half an hour before he was completely knocked out by Cameron. The order of stack size remained Teddy, Cameron then me.
Cameron and Teddy eventually went into an all-in showdown. Teddy had represented the straight numerous times before and Cameron thought it to be a bluff, once again. However, when the cards were shown, it was revealed that, this time, it had not been a bluff. Teddy took Cameron's chips, giving him a massive lead in the head to head.
The final was played defensively at first, neither player winning much more than a few thousand. Then, at around 3:20, 6 hours since the start, both players went in with pocket pairs. I was all-in with 4s, however. Victory then went to Ted, with his pocket queens.
It was an interesting start to the league. Things happened. It's quite fortunate that things happened really, it would have been incredibly boring doing nothing for 6 hours.
