Douge2 Gets in the Hunt for the 2nd Qtr Lead With His 3rd Win

Douge2 had the hot hand tonight (twss). He used the pressure of his stack to bust 24 others this evening. Douge2 got back in the hunt for the 2nd quarter seat in the Finals, as did Derf-63 and T3chlady. Way to go folks!

We also welcomed back BigDaddyTman and JDChridati tonight.
