The Wolf Prowls: Gary Wolfe Devours the Field with 9 KOs in Week 10 Domination

Monday night at the All-in Blind league was less of a poker tournament and more of a nature documentary — specifically, one where a lone wolf systematically hunts every other creature on the savanna. Gary Wolfe put on one of the most complete performances the league has seen, racking up a jaw-dropping 9 knockouts on his way to a first-place finish worth 61 points and $220 out of a $1,600 pot. What makes it even juicier? Gary had to rebuy early in the tournament after getting bounced by Brian Iott in Round 3. That's right — the guy who ended up running the table was knocked out himself before most people had finished their first drink. He came back, locked in, and proceeded to dismantle the field like a man with a personal grudge against everyone in the room.

The carnage in the back half of the tournament was something to behold. Wolfe's Round 12 was particularly ruthless — he sent Mark Ehrenfried, Keith Narges, and Terry Kuhl to the rail in rapid succession. He then picked off Eric Addington in Round 14 and Ron Muir in Round 15 to set up a heads-up showdown with Tom Glanz, which he closed out in Round 16. Glanz, to his credit, played a composed game for second place (49 pts, $160), and Ron Muir rounded out the podium in third (44 pts, $120). Meanwhile, Eric Addington quietly put together a strong showing of his own with 5 knockouts en route to 4th place ($80), and Steve Miller quietly racked up 4 KOs before eventually running into Addington in Round 11 — an assassin taken out by another assassin.

With 33 players, 7 rebuys, and the season point lead on the line, Week 10 delivered exactly the kind of chaotic, high-energy poker night that makes this league so much fun. The rebuy early doors gave several players a second shot at glory, and a handful of them made the most of it. Next week is a fresh slate, and you can bet the players who got wolfed out this Monday will be coming back hungry for revenge. Will Wolfe repeat? Will Addington finally get over the hump? Or will someone come out of nowhere to crash the party? See you at the tables — our final event can't come soon enough. 🃏
