Tigercub8189 Wins for the 1st Time in 2014

Erica waits in the NPP Lounge for Tigercub8189 to finish his press conference.

Tigercub8189 did a real rare feat by coming from dead last at the break to win the tournament. And against this field?? Well done Cub – who is now in the hunt for the last quarter seat in the NPP Finals. He also qualifys for the 2014 NPP Tournament of Champions.

But it is a log jam at the top of the leaderboard for the 4th quarter. Still plenty of time to get in there and take control.
The last two Total Points seats are also going to be hotly contested.
