Season 17 Week 1

A great way to start seaon 17. Two full tables with 16 players.

The VPL had a very good opening week for Season 17.

Crunch time: The bubble.

4 players with only 3 spots paying.

They were: Michelle, Bill, Clay and TC

TC got up from the table in 4th place and popping the bubble with zero pay.

Money time was with: Michelle, Bill and Clay

Clay came into this 3 way battle a massive chip leader.

Two short stacks: Michelle and Bill.

It came down to the battle of wills. Not only were these two players fighting it out for the money but also who would be qualified for the TOC.

There is an answer to that question......................and the answer is..........................Bill.

Bill found himself taken out by Clay in 3rd place with a $40 win.

Heads up was with Michelle and Clay.

Going into heads up, Clay had a massive chip lead over Michelle.

Unlike heads up in the past few weeks, this was not a quick battle.

The war ended at the blinds of 400/800.

Michelle held on for as long as she could, unfortunately she didn't have enough ammunition for the big blinds and found herself finishing in 2nd place with a win of $68.

That means the first win of season 17 went to Clay. The chip and $136.

Congratulations to both Clay and Michelle for being the first two to qualify for the TOC.

Good luck everyone and we'll see you next week.
