Season 11 Week 5

This week we had 14 players for the VPL (Valley Poker League).

Alot of action on the felt. The bubble came down to Jason, Clay, Randy and Bill. Someone had to pop the bubble and that someone was Randy. Clay took 3rd place with a prize of $35. Bill found himself heads up (just like last week with TC) with Jason.

After passing the chip lead back and forth, Bill grabbed 2nd place for his efforts which won him $60. Jason won his 2nd chip this season and went home with $119.00.

With the end of week 5, Alex finds himself still in the points lead by 10. Alex carries 52 points but right behind him is Bill and Clay with 42 each. Jason has 40.

There were no new qualifiers this week. As of the end of Week 5, there are 9 qualifiers for the TOC.

Good luck to everyone and well will see you next week.

BJ's tournament

This tournament was a $60 buy-in. There was 8 people. There was a $5 bounty on everyone's head. It was quite interesting because only three people cashed in bounties. 1st guy cashed in one. The next guy cashed in 2 (this guy took 2nd place). The winner cashed in 5 of them.

It was a descent one table tournament. The total prize pool was $440. 1st place won $220 and 2nd place won $132 and 3rd place took $88.

It was a fun tournament. Hopefully there will be more to follow.

Don't forget about the Valley Poker League on Tuesday nights.

We had 14 people for the league this week. Very quick tournament this week. The tournament ended with the blinds being 150-300. This was one of the quickest tournaments.

The final four were: Jason, Brandon, Randy and Alex. There had to be a bubble boy and that honor went to Alex. In third place was Randy. Jason and Brandon battled for first but when the dust settled it was Jason who was standing alone with the money and the championship chip.

Congratulations to Jason and Brandon for qualfiying.

Good luck to everyone next week.
