ThePunk75 Wins His 4th NPP Tourney and Takes Control of the 4th Quarter!

They say it is not over until the Fat Lady sings. Well, she is warming up in the wings. We still have four tourneys left (that is eighty 1st place points still possible), but catching ThePunk75 now could be asking a lot.

But not to worry. We still have two Total Points seats still available to win and that race is super close! Remember, should ThePunk75 clinch the 4th quarter seat, he drops out of the Total Points race – like, LittleRedElf, Faldo, Theedouble*d and Tomservo2 have.

ThePunk75 beat nineteen other NPP’s on route to his 3rd win of the year and 4th overall.

On to the action:

2 min: Biglou93 (20th) calls the blinds with (66). The flop is [35T], and Budda627 calls Biglou’s standard bet. The turn is another [T] and the river is a [6] – it all goes in, and Budda has (T3). Lou getting no nub again tonight.

19 min: A short-stacked (SS) K9isadog (19th) has to go when his (T9) hits a [9] on the flop, but LittleRedElf hits his straight.

37 min: A SS Jenski6 (18th) has to go when her (QJ) hits a flop with a [J]. Tomservo2 calls with (As Ks) and the river is an [A].

40 min: Wingsfancurt (17th) (77) calls Absea98’s all-in (KK). But Absea can only get a split pot as ThePunk75 also called all-in with (KK)!

45 min: Kensik (16th) sees his (JJ) lose a coin flip to ThePunk75 with (AQ), who hits his [Q] on the turn.

53 min: Douge2 (15th) was late to the table due to personal stuff, but is a hard-core NPP’er and made the game. A SS Douge2 goes with (Kh Jh), but can’t catch ThePunk75’s (AQ).

60 min: Theedouble*d (14th) tries to double up before the break with (Kc Qc), but the PokerStars Break Monster is waiting for him as he gives Funtoon (AA)!
