Season 14 Tournament of Champions

This season TOC was held on September 9, 2008. There were 12 qualifiers for this event.

It was quite interesting because 2 people had sold their seat. As per the VPL rules, the next person in points has the option of buying the seat. This option was by Dave. He bought his seat. The 2nd person to buy their seat was Scott.

Okay, 11 people battling for the bracelet and the bragging rights. There were 4 previous bracelet winners at the TOC. Todd (1), TC (2), Dave (2) and James (3).

At the TOC, the top 4 places are paid out.

Money time: Bil, Todd, Steve and Clay.

The first person to go out in the money was Bill. His 4th place finish helped him win $81.

3rd place belonged to Steve. This exit won him $81.

Heads up: Todd and Clay.

Todd is defending his title. He won the TOC in season 13.

Two very good players. Only one winner.

The person who won Season 14 TOC was Clay. This is Clay's first TOC win. He earned himself the bracelet as well as a win of $269.

Todd's 2nd place finish earned him a win of $135.

Congratulations to Clay for winning his first bracelet.

Good luck everyone in Season 15.

Season 14 Week 8

Last week of the season 14. VPL hosted 12 people who took their shot at their last chance to qualify for the TOC.

Down to the nitty gritty of things:

Money time: TC came in 3rd place with a win of $30.

Heads-up with Randy and Alan. Both great players. Randy was the won who came in 2nd place with a $51 win.

Alan was the winner of week 8 with the chip and $102.

Interesting side note: when it was down to 3 way action, James was rooting for TC to go out in 3rd place. If Randy went out in 3rd place he would have had more points than James and edged him out of the TOC by points and would have been in by points.

However by taking 2nd place, that's an automatic TOC qualifier. So James made it into the TOC.

TC was the winner of the points for season 14. He won $204.

Good luck everyone and well see you at the TOC.
