#48 is great

Yahtzee Cup #48 down to the wire

May 26, 2011, Westmoreland Stadium—

With Roman Castevet (RC) basking in his Cup #47 victory, Killer Pimp J. John Johnny John (KPJ) roared out of the gate in Yahtzee Cup #48. Superstar Bootyray (SR) prepared to play spoiler.

Game #1 was even in the Yahtzee column between RC and KPJ, but RC’s failure to score the upper 35 bonus proved a fatal blow.

Game #1
KPJ 309/SB 242/RC 224
Yahtzee(s): KPJ, RC (1)

Game #2 saw the Pimp distance himself, with a definite victory, no Yahtzee needed.

Game #2
KPJ 269/SB 178/RC 137
Yahtzee: SB (1)

Game #3 saw a Pimp slap turn into a Pimp stumble, as a failure to get the upper 35 left Bootyray room to make a move. And make it she did.

Game #3
SB 266/KPJ 242/RC 240
Yahtzee: KPJ (1)

Game #4 saw another Yahtzee for the Pimp, but this time it was Roman’s turn for the win.

Game #4
RC 242/SB 224/KPJ 222
Yahztee(s): RC, KPJ (1)

Game #5 saw Roman try following up his win, but Bootyray started making her move with a close win. Bootyray overcame no upstairs 35, using her Large Straight to win it.

Game #5
SB 258/RC 251/KPJ 189
Yahtzee(s): SB, RC (1)

Game #6 saw the Pimp get one win away from The Cup, no Yahtzees and a rare tie for second.

Game #6
KPJ 265/SB 220/RC 220

Game #7 was the start of a second card, and it was also where the Pimp's luck ran out. Up 3-2-1, he couldn't seal the deal. Roman Castevet came back to score his second win, his Large Straight making up the difference.

Game #7
RC 264/KPJ 207/SB 201

Now, time for do or die...Killer Pimp rolls an early Yahtzee but he can't quite put the game away. Bootyray keeps it close...and tkaes it when KPJ rolls no Large Straight or 4-of-a-kind. Now it's 3-3-2...

Game #8
SB 291/RC 267/KPJ 250
Yahtzee(s): KPJ, SB (1)

Da dum...da dum...dadumdadumdadum. DAAAAA! That Jaws-inspired soundtrack moment was brought to you by this Superstar Bootyray victory. Game #9 was not very suspensful, as SB rolled a Yahtzee and the others lost the game of catch-up.

Game #9
SB 281/KPJ 217/RC 180
Yahtzee: SB (1)

Nice victory for the Superstar...giving her 16 Cups, tying her with Roman Castevet (Killer Pimp has 17). But her greatest moment could be right around the corner. Stay tuned.
