Rjmech Wins His 2nd NPP Tourney in a Row! NPP Final Set.

Kate Upton is loving her some NPP action!
I said it last week. Where would this man be in the standings if he had played the entire season? Hopefully we will learn next season.
No matter for him as Rjmech won the 4th Quarter seat in spectacular fashion with back to back victories!
Nice job, but I have to call out the fact that in actuality Tomservo2 had the most points in Quarter #4, so he actually won two seats all by himself! WOW!
Then you look at the huge point total win overall by Lump2, which was the equivalent of someone winning three tourneys straight tourneys with Lump2 not playing – in order for anyone to catch him! Another WOW!
Then you have to look at the fine and consistent season that T3chlady had, finishing second in points against this incredibly tough line up. Outstanding job Lady!
And then you have LittleRedElf and Pre01. Neither of which made that many tourneys – missing the equivalent of one whole quarter each – but still managed to make it to the NPP Finals! What a job they turned in.
Then there was the unlucky Absea98, who has to get mentioned. He played consistently well all year, just to get nosed out each and every quarter, and then in the total points race too. Great season Absea!
So your Finalists are:
Lump2
Tomservo2
LittleRedElf
Rjmech
T3chlady
Mikeniks-Faldo
Pre01
They will play next week for the Player of the Year Award!
On to the action:
12 min: Suetman123 (15th) with (77) and Derf-63 (14th) with (KK) get kyboshed by Rjmech who beats them with (AT) with an [A] on the river.
22 min: A short-stacked (SS) Absea98 (13th) goes with (99) but loses to Tomservo2’s (AK) straight on the turn. Absea98 has three pursuers that need to come up short for him to hold his lead in the 4th
44 min: A SS T3chlady (12th) has to go with (Kt) and runs into Rjmech’s (AQ).
45 min: A SS K9isadog (11th) has to go with a pair of Aces and loses to Rjmech’s flush.
51 min: A SS Sanster89 (10th) ran into Lump2’s trip Tens.
55 min: Theedouble*d (9th) blinded out.
1st break:
Rjmech    8049
Lump2    4040
ThePunk75   2310
8thmile    1964
Mikeniks-Faldo    1810
Wingsfancurt    1620
Tomservo2    1450
Tigercub8189     1257
64 min: A SS Wingsfancurt (8th) goes with (A3) but Tomservo2 has (AT).
66 min: A SS Tigercub8189 (7th) has (44) and moves in on the flop, but Rjmech paired Kings.
75 min: A SS 8thmile (6th) with (66) calls all-in Mikeniks-Faldo’s even shorter all-in with (AK) and Faldo wins the coin flip with a [K] on the flop!
Faldo’s entire NPP poker season came down to this coin flip! Two minutes later 8thmile pairs his Tens, but Faldo paired his Queens.
What that meant is that Faldo wins his seat, and also guaranteed a seat are T3chlady and Pre01. Rjmech also now earned enough points to overtake Absea98! 
Will Mikeniks-Faldo overtake Rjmech to win the 4th Quarter Seat instead of the Points seat? Rjmech would still get it as the 2nd place finisher however.
Faldo went from a coin flip away from not qualifying for the first time ever, to possibly winning a seat outright in two hands! Yeah, .......it’s all skill.
The battle went on for a while, and then Armageddon all of a sudden!
98 min: A SS Mikeniks-Faldo (5th) goes with (AA) and runs into Tomservo’s flush.
100 min: A SS ThePunk75 (4th) has to go with (Qs 7s) and two spades on the flop, but he doesn’t hit the flush and Rjmech has (JJ).
102 min: A SS Tomservo2 (3rd) has to go with (JT) and a paired Jack but Rjmech has (AJ).
Heads up:        Lump2    9500    -      8thmile    13000
103 min: Lump2 (2nd) has (A2) on a board of [AQ4], but Rjmech has (AQ)!
Congratulations to Rjmech on his 4th NPP win!
