PFO Monthly, Feb 2009

[VGrozny]

The February PFO Monthly saw three competitors slug it out in a no holds barred no limit Texas hold'em match. After sixteen hands of the finest poker ever seen, Vic Grozny was declared champion when he was able to knockout the final two competitors in a single blow.

The tournament started with societymax bullying the table and taking down the first hand with a preflop raise and a continuation bet. When he tried the same preflop raise on the next hand, Vic Grozny moved all in, forcing societymax to fold. Six hands later societymax scooped about a third of Vic Grozny's stack with his own all in move-
