Douge2 Wins and Ties ThePunk75 for the League Lead

Douge2 weaved thru a field of twenty-one others to take the top spot tonight.

Faldo was late to the game due to business in Canada. We did get to welcome back Nahanni74 and Fourbetbluff back to the NPP action. Great to see these two great players back in the mix for an NPP seat.

On to the action:

Remember, Faldo was late to the festivities:

48 min: A SS Wingsfancurt (14th) has to go with (QJ) and runs into Douge2’s (JJ). An omen that Doug will be tough this evening!

49 min: ThePunk75 (13th) Sorry I missed it – internet issues.
55 min: A recently SS’ed Fourbetbluff (12th) sees his (KK) get run over by Rjmech’s (A2) as a [A2J] comes on the flop. Sometimes it is just not your night.
