KingUnix Wins the 2019 Niks Poker Palace Finals!

A KingUnix groupie is not only floored, but couched by his poker talent.
Who says you can't go home again! KingUnix just did!
King Unix Wins the NPP Player of the Year Tournament for the 3rd time! He won twice before in the back to back years of 1998 and 1999.
It was also KingUnix's 4th NPP victory. Well done KingUnix….aka ThaiFood (when PokerStars was legal for $).

Here is how it went down:
0 min: CometGirlXO - did not play - 7th place
33 min: Absea98 is knocked out in 6th place by a LittleRedElf full house.
45 min: Rjmech must have drawn the Faldo chair in this tournament - finishing 5th - as his AA loses to KingUnix's QJ as a queen hit the flop.....and the river!
50 min: LittleRedElf is sent to the rail in 4th as his AQ runs into Derf-63's AA.
69 min: Tomservo2 got a late start but battled to a 3rd place finish when finally hi J6s could not win a coin flip against Derf-63's 55.
96 min: The heads up battle raged on for quite a while before finally Tomservo2's AJ lost to KingUnix's AK.

Thank you all for another great season and see you on Tuesday January 7th, 2020!

Rjmech Wins for the 10th Time! - 2019 NPPF Seats Listed - T of C Tourney Next Week Decides Final Seat

Mrs. Faldo's standard wifely domestic duty uniform.
Rjmech did it again - even though he did not have to!
2nd - KingUnix (takes last Qtr Seat!)
3rd - 95corolla
4th - LittleRedElf
Bubble - Tomservo2

Congratulations to Rjmech on his 43rd NPP victory and moving up the Walk of Fame!

The Tournament of Champions next week will decide the final player in the NPP Finals.
Fourteen players qualified for the TOC by winning one of the weekly tournaments.
As usual, the six players that already have seats - also qualified for the TOC.

If one of the seat holders win the TOC, the seat goes to the player who finished the highest in the TOC that is still without a seat.

And as usual, if Mikeniks-Faldo wins a seat, the player who finishes right behind Faldo also wins a seat if he does not already have one.

Now, please be aware that if you are not a seat holder or on the list of players who qualified for the TOC - your season is OVER! So don't be surprised if you cannot log onto the tournament for the rest of year.

Then, in the following week - only the people that have qualified for the NPP Final (and Faldo) will be able to play! So be aware of that.

If Faldo does not qualify, he won't play, but will log on to watch the action.

Good Luck to everyone and thank you for another exciting season at NPP!

Faldo
