There’s a bounty hunter with a familiar name roaming the SHRPO galaxy.

A player by the name Mike Sexton has decided to go full Jedi sporting a rather unique outfit: a shiny Boba Fett hat and a Boba Fett t-shirt paying homage to the famous bounty hunter who chased down Han Solo in the original Star Wars trilogy.

We’ll see if this Mike Sexton can “force” his way to the top of Day 1B tonight.

It’s already getting wild out there in the Day 1B flight.  With six players seated at the table, everyone decided it would be fun to get in on the action and it turned into a family feud.

After a pre-flop raise to 450 from the small blind and everyone calling, a flop of hit the board and shockingly all the players checked it.  After a hit the turn, the pre-flop raiser bet out 1100.  He was called the next two players and then Ian Davis decided to make a push and went all-in.  After all the action Davis had one caller and the hands were turned up.
