LittleRedElf Returns to the NPP Winner’s Circle - for the 9th Time

This was only a matter of time, eh fans? With this win, he also jumps into the mix for the 2nd quarter seat in the NPP finals. Actually, moved all the way to 3rd place, behind the co-leaders - T3chlady and Tomservo2! Well done, all.

What a log jam we have at the top of the standings now. Incredibly, there are ten (10) players could take over the lead with just one win, and another seventeen (17) players that get back into contention the same way! This is the stuff I envisioned when I started this league. Great stuff!

Tonight’s action was the same way. At every break, the chip stacks were close! Very exciting night, that’s for sure.

We welcomed two members back from long sabbaticals from NPP; Mowin4116 and Sirgash. Great to see you two, Jeff and Gary.

On to the action:

1 min: Right off the start, Theedouble*d (21st) sees his (AK) lose to Bendandsnap’s (As Qs), with a [Q] on the river. Fastest knockout in NPP history! I don’t think we ever has a 1st hand KO before.

14 min: Derf-63 (20th) gets crippled as his Q-high flush runs into Douge2’s A-high flush.
24 min: T3chlady (19th) with (Ad 8d) can’t run down ThePunk75’s (JJ).
27 min: Ditto with Wingsfancurt (18th) as his (33) can’t catch K9isadog’s (KK).
45 min: Fourbetbluff (17th), Congrats on your new son, by the way – sees his (QQ) lose to Absea98’s (88) when an [8] flops.

52 min: Funtoon (16th)
57 min: Mikeniks-Faldo (15th) decides to gamble here, and my (AK) doesn’t catch ThePunk75’s (JJ).

Nobody is pulling away.

K9isadog 3725

62 min: Odds2win777 (14th).
72 min: Absea98 (13th). Ok, Faldo back from jumping out of hotel window after losing that hand to ThePunk. Lucky for me I was on the 1st floor. Anyway, after this hand, the exits came regularly for a while.

74 min: A SS Douge2 (12th) has to go with (QJ) but can’t catch xxxKdogxxx’s (AJ).
75 min: Sirgash (11th) tries with (66) and runs into K9isadog’s (KK).
76 min: Mowin4116 (10th) takes Faldo’s bubble spot, that Faldo was too dumb to get to.
81 min: Bendandsnap (9th)
82 min: LittleRedElf (88), takes out Tigercub8189(8th) (A9) and ThePunk75(7th) (AJ). End of exit flurry.

100 min: Eyekall (6th), who had internet connection problems all night, sees his (AT) fall to K9isadog’s (AJ).

111 min: K9isadog (5th) with (AJ) sees a flop with a [J] in it and moves in. But Suetman1 is holding (KK).

Still a log jam. Very exciting.
2nd break:
LittleRedElf 8324
Suetman1 8322
xxxKdogxxx 8205
Tomservo2 6649

125 min: A SS Tomservo2 (4th) goes with (Ac 7c) and a flop of [73K], but Suetman1 holds (KQ).

132 min: Suetman1 (3rd) takes a shot at a semi-bluff with (Ad Qd) and a flop of [J89]. But LittleRedElf is holding (Jh 8h) and is not going anywhere.

Heads up: LittleRedElf 16250 - 15250 xxxKdogxxx Still close!
135 min: LittleRedElf 16500 - 15000 xxxKdogxxx
140 min: LittleRedElf 21900 - 9600 xxxKdogxxx

143 min: xxxKdogxxx (2nd) goes with (KT) while LittleRedElf holds (Qc Jc), and a [Q] hits the flop.
