Faldo Wins for the 2nd Time This Year

Waiting patiently for Faldo to finish signing autographs.
Well it was a struggle as it always is against this group. But to be heads up against the legend - LittleRedElf - is a little overwhelming! You need three things to defeat The Elf; Luck, cold cards for The Elf and ....alot of luck. Faldo got all that.....and some luck, too.
Things really tighten up in the race for the 3rd quarter seat. Remember Faldo is a wild card, and - if he accidentally and by some miracle wins the seat - the second place person also wins a seat in the finals. So, with Faldo hanging around….all things are possible for anyone even close to the top of the 3rd quarter.
Preo1 – who cannot play every week, which makes it all that much more amazing – is still leading the 3rd quarter.
T3chlady and LittleRedElf just keep plugging along – seemingly picking up points every round.
But virtually every player is only a win or two away from sailing by. It should be a very exciting finish ….as it always is!

6 min: Wingsfancurt (13th) has (AQ) but Theedouble*d has (AK).
