I've said it before and I'll say it again................The VPL is THE place to play poker.
17 Seasons and getting stronger by the day.
This week, the VPL was host to 18 people. That's right...18!
This week seemed very tough because at the first color-up there were still 16 people in the tournament.
The 2nd break comes after the 150/300 blinds. When the blinds were 100/200 there 10 people left. It looked like there were still going to be two tables going after the 2nd break. This has never been thought of before. Just shows the caliber of play at the VPL.
Just as we were discussing this possibility, 2 people get knocked out of the tournament at the same time.
With the clock stopped, everyone had to re-draw for seats for the final table at 100/200.
Everyone's favorite spot..................The Bubble:
Alex, Joe, Frank and Ryan.
Within this group, there is only one previous qualifier (Joe).
Ryan brought his "A" game but it was just enough to pop the bubble going out in 4th place.
Money Time: Joe, Frank and Alex.
In any tournament, someone has to leave to make it heads up. That someone was Frank.
Frank left the table in 3rd place with a win of $46.
Heads-Up: Joe and Alex.
Now this heads up was crazy. A variety of hands were played here.
The chip lead went back and forth. Alex got hit hard with a 3 high flush from Joe.
But never count Alex out until the last chip has left his stack.
Joe found out this the hard way and ended up with a 2nd place finish and $76.
Alex took 1st place, the chip and $153. Also with this win, Alex is now qualified for the TOC.
As far as points goes, Clay is killing the competition in Season 17.
Congratulatinos to Alex and Joe.
Joe is on a roll, he has made the money in the last 3 live tournaments.
Good job to everyone and good luck next week.
