Meatsword Wins His 1st NPP Tourney!

He becomes the 60th player to win an NPP event and also jumps into the lead in the 4th quarter standings. But it is still a race for twenty players as we have three weeks left.

The race for the one or two Total Season Points seat has been whittled down to just three players. If anyone behind ThePunk75, Suetman1 or Theedouble*d rises up and takes the Total Point Lead, they would have to win the 4th quarter anyway, and not need the at-large seat(s).

This will make for some interesting rooting interests coming down the stretch.

For instance, it may turn out to be beneficial for a player to beat you in the league race and take the 4th quarter title, allowing you to move up into their spot for the Total Point seat. I’m just saying - it could happen.

We welcomed THREE new players tonight; BKrywko1, SpartanFlash, and Tommydoo. Welcome guys!

There were also some suprise absences as Douge2, Rjmech and Wingsfancurt missed and they are right in the hunt for the 4th quarter seat. But things come up (twss).

On to the NPP action:

1 min: Rjmech (18th) sees his trip kings lose to Meatsword’s threes over kings full house! Ouch!

21 min: Another ouch early as T3chlady (17th) sees her (QQ) lose to Odds2win777’s (9s 4s) flush on the river after a flop of [6s 7s 4h].

28 min: But that hand is no omen for Odds2win777 (16th) as his (77) run into Meatsword’s (99).

34 min: LittleRedElf (15th) Missed it due to the hand below.
39 min: At the 33 min mark, SpartanFlash (14th) throws in a raise with sees his (Ks Qs), and only Meatsword (Th 7h) calls. They check a flop of [8s 4c 7d] and the turn of [Kc]. It all gets in there on a river of [Ts] and Meat’s two pair takes it. This hand dimmed the Flash and he went out six minutes later.

42 min: K9isadog (13th)
45 min: Tomservo2’s (12th) (AT) runs into Derf-63’s (TT).
