Truck Driver Curt Timperley Hauls in Win No. 2,
Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo

It's His Fourth Cash and Third Final Table So Far at Council
Bluffs Circuit

Council Bluffs, IA — “I’m hot. I can’t ever remember running this good for this long,”
Curt Timperley remarked after winning his second event at the WSOP Circuit tour at
Horseshoe Council Bluffs, $200 pot-limit Omaha hi-lo. The win in event 19 paid $4,400.

Earlier he won a $200 no-limit tourney. And he has two other cashes as well, one being a
third in Omaha hi-lo! Not bad for someone whose past tournament cashes were limited to
small local buy-in events.

Driving around the Midwest, the grocery warehouse truck driver frequently checks the
action at casinos along his route. He splits his poker time between tournaments and live
games, and is able to pack in about 50 tournaments a year..

This tourney had 63 players and a $12,333 prize pool. When we got to the final nine,
Doug Dickenson had a slight lead over Lawrence Berg, 75,000 to 72,000.  

Here were the starting chip counts:

Seat          Name                             Chip Count
1.               Curt Timperley                57,000
2.               Jim McGill                        11,500
3.               Glen Walston                  50,000
4.               Joe Miklas                       33,500         
5.               Doug Dickenson              75,000
6.               Ronald Grandgeorge       7,500
7.               Lawrence Berg                72,000
8.               Dave Schenk                   10,000
9.               Jack Spencer                   38,000

Final table play commenced with blinds of 1,000-2,000 and 24 minutes left.

9th place: Dave Schenk was all in with A-3-J-K against Berg with J-2-4-6. Neither player
managed a low when the board came A-3-3-6-9, but Berg settled for deuces full, leaving
Schenk in ninth place, worth $367. Schenk, 47, is a youth worker from Hiawatha, Iowa.

8th place: With blinds at 1,500-3,000, Jim McGill found himself all in from the big blind,
with a nondescript 10-6-5-5. Doug Dickenson had A-3-7-9 with two spades, and when
three spades came on a board of 9-4-4-Q-J, McGill left with $489 for eighth. McGill,
describing his occupation as a “bar drinker,” is 57, from Carter Lake, Iowa, and this is his
first live final table..

7th place: Blinds were now 2,000-4,000. Suddenly, two players with two big hands built
a very big pot. Berg had A-A-2-5 and Timperley A-A-9-7. Pre-flop, Timperley bet the pot,
Berg re-potted it and went all in, and Timperley called.. The board came K-7-8, giving
Timperley a pair of 7s and Berg a draw to a nut low. Then two 9s gave Timperley 9s-full
while Berg missed his low draw. Timperley had him covered and moved into a big lead as
Berg, a 32-year-old Las Vegas poker dealer,  cashed seventh for $611.

6th place: Next to go out was Dickenson. He had A-4-9-Q and a flop of K-2-3 gave him
draws to a nut low and a heart flush. At the same time, Timperley, holding K-K-3-Q,
flopped a set of cowboys. Dickenson missed low when two paints came, and he took
home $733 for sixth. Dickenson, making back-to-back final tables, is a 68-year-old CPA
from Kansas City, Missouri,

5th place: With blinds of 2,500-5,000, Jack Spencer was in the big blind and he was left
with a single 1,000 chip when his J-10-8-4 went nowhere. He stayed alive for a few hands
by twice making a set of fours to take half of four-way pots. All in again from the big blind,
he had all four players going after him. When the board came Q-Q-5,Glen Walston bet out,
and Spencer, with K-9-8-2, knew he was dead. The other two players folded, Walston
turned up A-Q-J-7 for trip queens, and Spencer, a 54-year old farmer from Bedford, Iowa,
went out after two more 5s didn’t help.  

4th place: The next player went out after a set-over set flop.”Grocery” Joe Miklas had
pocket deuces and flopped the lower set when the board showed Q-2-9. Timperley had
pocket queens and the grocery man was now dead to a fourth deuce. Instead, two more
9s came, and Miklas cashed fourth for $978. Miklas, 55, is a small business owner from
Crescent, Iowa.  

3rd place: Hanging on with a single 500 chip, Ronald Grandgeorge committed it from the
big blind. After his two opponents checked down a board of 2-6-2-7-7, Timperley turned
up A-2-3-Q for a nut low and three deuces and Grandgeorge, with 3-4-8-6 went out with
$1,344 for third. Grandgeorge, 53, is retired from the U.S. Air Force. He earlier finished
eighth in pot-limit Omaha event..

The two finalists, Timperley and Walston, started their match-up fairly even in chips. As
play went on, blinds moved up to 4,000-8,000. Timperley soon moved into the lead and
steadily kept increasing it. On the final hand the board showed 2s-Qc-3c-9d-8c. Walston
had 8d-3h-7h-Qh for two pair and no low. Holding Jc-8h-7d-8c, Timperley scooped with a
flush. For second, Walston, a 60-year-old farmer from Bedford, Iowa, took home $2,444.
