Absea98 is NPP’s 2011 Player of the Year!

It was his 2nd time winning the honor, as Larissa Franca is pointing out.

The award goes to the most deserving as he was the best all year anyway.

Absea98 destroyed the field in the first quarter before the shutdown. He had the point lead after the shutdown. When we started back up, he was #1 in the point total for the new format!

Great year Absea98!

Let’s check out the action;

Sorry for the lack of hands on how we got to this point, but your reporter was just not up to the task.

41 min: A short-stacked K9isadog (6th) has to go with (Td 9d) he doesn’t improve against 95corolla’s (KQ).

Great season K9isadog. You played the least amount of tourneys by far and still earned a chair. Outstanding!

Suetman123 3200
Absea98 2900
95corolla 2200

Tomservo2 680

At the break:

Suetman123 3800
Absea98 2800
LittleRedElf 1600
95corolla 1500
Tomservo2 625

70 min: A SS Tomservo2 (5th) has a pair, but Suetman123 has two pair.

Great season Tom.

At the 75 minute mark, the chip totals are:

Absea98 4900
Suetman123 4150
LittleRedElf 1200
95corolla 1050

79 min: A SS LittleRedElf (4th) is called by Absea98 and Suetman123, who wins the pot with (TT).

It was another great season by the Elf who technically won a seat in both halves of the year, along with Absea98. Great job Elf.

At the 90 minute mark, the chip totals are:

Absea98 5600
Suetman123 4300
95corolla 2000

105 min: This was painful. A SS 95corolla (3rd) sees his (J4) hit a flop with [J63] only to see that Absea98 is holding (J6).

95corolla is a tremendous addition to the NPP family this year and will be one of the regulars challenging for a chair ever year! Nice season Kevin.

Heads up: Absea98 8800 Suetman123 3200

110 min: Absea98 9500 Suetman123 2500

172 min: Suetman123 (2nd) has to go with (Ad Qs) on a flop with [3 diamonds], but Absea98 is holding (Qd Jd) and a 4th for the board never arrives.

“Sue” has come on to challenge the entire NPP line up every single week and is the most improved player of 2011.
