| The "Rage in the Cage" was a Tournament for the ages. With Mike lying his way to a 1:30am arrival (working late, traffic, FIREWORKS!), the "Chicken Nacho's Fiasco", and a very, VERY hot pipe, it was a classic Rafters weekend. Aside from being the first weekend captured on tape (please send check or money order in the amount of $1,000 to 2 Championship Dr., TC Michigan for your copy!!), RCIX featured what will surely go down in history as the most unique venue in Rafters Cup history: The Magri Death Cage! (See pic below). Along the way, the hot pipe leaves a few burn marks, Paul suffers from cramps and almost loses a toe, and Mike rides Eric like a plow horse. Here's the brief recap: Andrew and Paul jump out to a 9-2 lead in Game 1, then paul was euchred and Eric called 5 straight hands! Eric carries Mike on the 8-0 run to take Game 1 in the biggest comeback of all time. Eric dominates Game 2 and takes over sole posession of 1st after 2. Andrew and Mike dominate Game 3, Andrew in 1st at the half. Mike and Eric win a back and fourth Game 4, and Mike takes over 1st. Meanwhile, Paul is 0-4, and playing horribly....Until Game 5, where he helped Mike take a commanding lead of the tourney. In Game 6, a game he needed to win outright or lose by 6 or less to win the Cup, Mike dominated play en route to his 5 Rafters Cup Championship. | |||||||||||||||||||||
