At the weekly poker game held at the Exchange Hotel Foster on Wednesday evenings at 7pm and after a year’s absence due to Covid-19 and not wanting to catch it, Kenny Parnall after much encouragement from some other regulars, turned up to the regular weekly event.
Kenny had some great hands early on and managed to have some convinced that he was a “newbie” poker player and that let him in to steal the pot with some well disguised hand obtain is called a royal flush. A royal flush is made up from the Ace, King, Queen, Jack, and Ten of the same suit. The odds of having such a hand is around 40,000 to 1. In other words, one does not see many in their poker career.
Kenny managed one and as is the poker etiquette when such an event occurs everyone comes over to congratulate the lucky player.
Covid safe habits are maintained at the venue and around 24 players are turning up each week for a great social chat and to have fun.
Sadly, for Kenny, Kenny did not go on to win the evening. Solid play by Paul Nelsson led to his win over this editor (Don Hill), who came in second. New players are always welcome, and instruction is given by other players so “newbies” learn how to play and also learn about poker “etiquette”. A very social game. The hotel serves excellent meals as well, so this is an evening out to be recommended.
