Douge2 had a slight chip lead and won the all-infest to capture the actual win, but the money and points will be split.
Rjmech returns to NPP after a long layoff and co-wins! This is the same stunt that Nahanni74 did last week.
It was a rough night at the tables for the hand favorites and the league leaders. I don’t know about anyone else, but I was as card dead as you can be.
Next week is a bye week for the Labor Day holiday. The last tourney week of Quarter #3 will be on September 14, and we may have two seats awarded!
Mikeniks-Faldo, ThePunk75, xxxKdogxxx and Douge2 all have a shot at the 3rd quarter seat in the NPP Finals.
To add a little more drama to the picture, please remember Faldo is a wildcard. If I get in, the person in second also gets in!!!!
As the standings sit right now, both Faldo and ThePunk75 are in. But if anyone passes Faldo, only that person gets in.
In other words, xxxKdogxxx and Douge2 really only have to get more points than ThePunk75 to win their seat – Faldo or no Faldo.
It should be an exciting conclusion to quarter number 3!
On to the action:
21 min: A short-stacked (SS) Yecats423 (18th) has to go with (A9) and runs into Nahanni74’s (AK).
29 min: K9isadog (17th) gets run down as his (KT) hits a [T – 86] on the flop and Tigercub8189 calls with (Q6). Runner-runner Queens show up for the Cub. Cat beats dog.
33 min: Tigercub8189 claims another victim as his (A7) takes out a SS xxxKdogxxx (16th) with (QQ) as an [A] flops. That is two run downs in four minutes.
34 min: Derf-63 (15th) is gone and I missed it watching the hand above.
40 min: LittleRedElf (14th) has (A4) and hits two pair on the turn. But Rjmech hits his flush on the river. Ouch!
48 min: A rare double kill as Absea98 (13th) and Nahanni74 (12th) lose to Rjmech’s straight on the turn.
51 min: Tomservo2 (11th) is another victim of the PokerStars gremlins tonight as he calls all-in with (JJ) to see Funtoon with (99), but a flopped [9] on the turn ends Tom’s night.
53 min: Theedouble*d (10th)
56 min: Another double knockout as a SS ThePunk75 (9th) with (AQ) and a SS Tigercub8189 (8th) with (77) see Douge2 with (55) hit a full house!
57 min: A SS Mikeniks-Faldo (7th) does not last with his (Jd 4d).
1st break:
Rjmech 10345
Douge2 5570
Funtoon 4585
T3chlady 2720
Pre01 2435
Suetman1 1405
64 min: A SS Suetman1 (6th) (66) gets double-teamed by Douge2 and Pre01. Pre took it down hitting a flush.
81 min: A SS Funtoon (5th) goes with (KJ), but Douge2 has (QQ).
84 min: A short-stacked (SS) Pre01 (4th) has to try with (KT) but Douge2 pairs his three.
95 min: A SS T3chlady (3rd) doesn’t show.
Heads up: Douge2 15000 - 12000 Rjmech
100 min: Douge2 16500 - 10500 Rjmech
105 min: Douge2 13700 - 13300 Rjmech
Here they agree to a split. Douge2 won the all-in fest to close out the table. Thinking of the Butterfly Effect, I wonder whether the two points Douge2 didn't try and win will hurt him, or whether the three extra points he guaranteed himself will win the seat for him?
We will see next week.
1st – Douge2 – 22 points
2nd – Rjmech – 21 points
3rd – T3chlady – 15 pts
4th – Pre01 – 12 pts
5th – Funtoon – 9 pts
6th – Suetman1 – 7 pts
7th – Mikeniks-Faldo – 5 pts
8th – Tigercub8189 – 4 pts
9th – ThePunk75 – 3 pts
Every one else earned one (1) point. Standings are on the right side of the blog.
