October 13th, 2015 (78th Bracelet Event)

Peewee’s funhouse was open for business. 

After huge first hand, Waxcuses was ready for bed.

Since the bracelet was on the line, there was much ado about dealer and blind position when starting heads-up play at the end of the second game. I couldn’t find official rules, so it may come down to a vote if no one finds a definitive resource. Everything I found agrees that the button has the small blind, but there is disagreement as to how the positions are assigned. 

The logic posed here is one option. 

In a poker tournament, when going down from three players to two players, the next big blind will be the first non-eliminated player clockwise from the big blind in the previous hand. The other player will be the small blind (and button).

Another option, as posted here:

When starting heads-up play, deal a single card face-up to each player. The player with the highest card gets the button first. This player posts the small blind, and the other player posts the big blind. 

Another option given here as found by Siri. 

No banked shots were noted.

Coach took home the bracelet after a tumultuous final hand — in its course, Peewee had bracelet hopes, lost them, gained them back, and ultimately was left with second place.
