Lump2 Wins 5th of the Year; Faldo and T3chlady Win Seats!

Lump2 doesn't just take poker players to the woodshed.

Lump2 ties K9isadog for the most wins so far this year, but it was not enough to catch our leaders.
 

But don’t get Faldo wrong, Lump2 will be right in the hunt for the 4^th quarter seat and the two Total Points seats – as he sits in 3^rd place there.

Actually, the 4^th quarter will be crazy close with two separate races running at the same time – for THREE seats in the NPP Finals!

Talk about exciting!

Mikeniks-Faldo hung on to the 3^rd quarter lead, as T3chlady came up just short of knocking Faldo out and taking the seat alone.
After Faldo failed to cash, T3chlady had to win in order to do it. But when she came in 5^th  - now only LittleRedElf could catch her – by winning tonight - for the FaldoWild Card seat.

Internet connections plagued The Elf tonight or the results might have been much different. He finished 3^rd to miss the 3^rd quarter seat, but takes the lead in the Total Points Race!

LittleRedElf will also be a factor down the stretch – as will K9isadog.

But that does not mean a current player or new player could not dominate the 4^th quarter and win a seat that way! We all start at zero – starting next week!

So be here or be square!
