Game 6
The 6th game of the FPL was the first New Romney fixture, hosted by a very accommodating Chris Meller. Held towards the end of another bitter winter, the players couldn't wait for something to take their minds off the frostbite and nasty colds. More importantly, Teddy KGB, due to a reason, was unable to attend. This game would be contested by Adam, Cameron, Josh, myself (Jonah) and of course the host.
The game started at a fast but steady pace, with myself, Adam and Cam dominating the play. A bad spot for Josh left him with minimum points and me with a chip lead. Chris was to be the next casualty. His knockout was also won by myself. However, three handed play commenced with no clear chip leader.
However, I found myself in another lucky spot against Cameron, flopping the nut straight against Cameron's wheel. Aggressive pre-flop play disguised my hand and he was crippled, leaving me a big chip leader again. The Tramp soon found himself knocked out at the tentacles of the Squid.
Heads up, battle raged with chips moving towards Adam, but the chip lead remaining in my stack. And then the game finished.
It was an unconventional end to the game but, being cut short before an absolute winner could be declared, a deal was made. It was as follows:
The first place prize was split 7:5 in Jonah's favour.
(2nd place 80+30%= 104, 1st place 100+50%= 150, 2nd place knockout points= 5)
Both players awarded 104 as a base, the additional 51 points split 7:5 = 30:21. The win and the knockout were awarded to Jonah for final table purposes.

The FPL is likely to resume shortly and, no doubt, there will be plenty more surprising, humorous, puzzling, and often outrageous stories.
What a beautiful game we play
Seven times as graceful as ballet
Fifteen times as clever as chess
There's even a little fancy dress
