View Screenshot - Frink was not too happy about this. Meat rivers Frink again.
Here I'd like to note that Meat, Travis, and perkins had all been in the final three in the first tournament. The fact that these 3 are in the final 4 helps proove the point that poker is not all luck, or even mostly luck. As a line from Rounders states "How come the exact same people keep ending up at the final table at the WSOP?"
View Screenshot - NoManner takes out enemy 2+2er and receives nice compensation for doing so.

View Screenshot - I'd like you all to note the chip differences here. A few hands later, Travis is down to something like 600. Also note how low the blinds are, making a comeback infinitely more difficult for travis. Can he do it?
View Screenshot - Huge pot for Travis.
View Screenshot - After a bit of tug of war, Travis earning another large pot.
View Screenshot - NoManner has incredibly gone down to 1.8k in chips.
View Screenshot - The final blow, and it's over.
View Screenshot - GG. Congratulations Travis for winning the second PokerForums.org tournament.
