Jeff Shimp, tournament director of Potawatomi Peggers Pow-wow, reported his first 29 hand on Sept 16 of 2006, cutting the 5 of spades. However, Jeff won the game by getting a 28-hand on the very next deal!   Remarkably, the starter was the 5 of spades.   On Apr 28, 2008 he duplicated Jim Hatch's feat of a second 29 hand, with same seed numbers to boot!

Jim Hatch of Salen NH makes history as the first HALSCRIB user to report two 29-hands!   His second occurred on Mar 28, 2007 when playing a TRAINING mode game and provided a screen-shot of this rare event!

The "Legacy" seed numbers; 22417, 16562, 18740, that generated this particular hand was first reported in 2003.

The following screen-shot is of his first 29 hand obtained on Nov 18 of 2006, cutting the 5 of spades in MATCH Mode.

Michael Schell, host of Cribbage Forum, a must-see cribbage web-site, reported our fourth 29-hand playing a training mode game on July 20, 2006. HAL was dealer at hole 71 and Michael at hole 66 -   Legacy SEED NUMBERS 5444.17532.16119.   You can replay his entire game by setting legacy seed numbers to 19714.17802.23366 in MODE-CUSTOM, with HAL as initial dealer.

Pat Cox of Colorado played a 29-hand as part of his second session duplicate cribbage WEB Match on May 31, 2004 on the second hand of the first game.   You can replay his entire game by setting legacy seed numbers to 1.531.2004 with you as first dealer.   To generate the hand itself, use 17194.14884.14793 and HAL as dealer.

Joe Savage of New Jersey obtained the second 29-hand in mid-October, 2003.   HAL was at hole 109 and Joe counted his hand dealing from hole 113!   His legacy SEED NUMBERS were 3412.4946.4331.

The first 29-hand was in a TRAINING MODE game played by Hal Mueller on July 7, 2003.   Legacy SEED NUMBERS were 22417.16562.18740.   You can replay my entire game by setting legacy seed numbers 29544.11159.12789 in MODE-CUSTOM.

Of the 10 trillion different sequences of random hands that can be "dealt" via either of HALSCRIB's random-number generators legacy or robust, about 23 million will be 29-hands.
