As winter tightened its icy grip, the Mavericks showed their resilience, braving arctic temperatures and a week’s worth of relentless snowfall to gather at The Mayfield Tavern for another thrilling night of Texas Hold ’Em. While the conditions outside were brutally cold, inside, the competition was red-hot, and the felts sizzled with action.

The night kicked off with familiar faces taking charge, as Steve Herston and Cliff Jones both claimed victories at their respective tables in Game One, proving once again why they’re forces to be reckoned with.

Game Two brought a showstopping moment as Sylvia Pinson electrified the room with a royal flush, securing a dominant table win. Meanwhile, Mike Baker made his presence felt, notching a victory of his own and setting himself up as a serious contender for the night’s top spot.

Going into the final game, it was Cliff Jones who sat atop the leaderboard, but with Mike Baker, Drew Bovee, and Sylvia Pinson all just two points behind, the pressure was on. The target on Jones’ back was clear, and the Mavericks wasted no time turning up the heat. As fate would have it, Jones stumbled, becoming the third player eliminated from his table—leaving the door wide open for a challenger to seize the moment.

That challenger was Drew Bovee. With steely determination, he took control of his table, securing the win by just a single point to claim his first-ever nightly victory! Sylvia Pinson put up a valiant fight, finishing second at her table and earning a well-deserved runner-up finish for the night. Cliff Jones held on to third place, while Mike Baker and Jason Owen rounded out the top five.

The Road Ahead: High Stakes & Higher Rewards!

As we charge into the second half of the FPN Winter Season, the competition is only heating up. What better way to close out February than with a double points night next week? With the leaderboard tightening, every hand will matter, and the stakes couldn’t be higher.

And that’s not all—starting next week, we’re expanding to three tables, meaning even more action, more players, and more chances to shake up the standings. So be sure to be there, bring a friend, and get ready for another unforgettable night on the felts!

See you at the tables, Mavericks!
