Theedouble*d Wins, but LittleRedElf Captures the 2nd Quarter Seat!

It was a strange night of action. Most of the players did a yo-yo up and down the chip ladder, including your humble scribe. Everyone had their chances to go broke or take a big lead.

Suetman1 lived through seven all-ins - in a row - to stay alive at the final table. It was a very exciting night of poker.

T3chlady and ThePunk75 had to win tonight with LittleRedElf not making the final table. He didn’t and ThePunk was alive for quite a while, making it very interesting. Great try Punk.

We welcomed back Mowin4166 to NPP, and he proceeded to smack his old poker buddies around.
