Season 18 Week 5

This was the week to play at the VPL.

Week 5 had a total of 19 players sit down and battle it out for the money.

Sidenote: because the VPL has had 18 players pretty consistently, it was brought up to add another table and play 3 tables of 6. We would draw for three tables at the beginning of the night. Think about this and we'll talk about it next week.

Okay, on to the action.

Since there were 19 players, it took a while to get to the final table as well as the bubble.

The four players this week on the bubble were: Quentin, Alan, David and Jeremy.

This week it was Alan who popped the money bubble.

Money time: Quentin, Jeremy and David.

Quentin was the first to leave this trio of poker players. For his 3rd place finished, Quentin received $50.

Heads-up: Jeremy and David.

The heads up actions didn't last that long.

As the final card hit the river, the winning hand was shown.

That winning hand belonged to Jeremy. Jeremy's 1st place finished got him qualified for the TOC, the chip as well as a $160 cash prize.

David's 2nd place finish grossed him $80. David had previously qualified for the TOC.

Congratulations to Jeremy for his 1st victory at the VPL.

Also with Quentin's 3rd place finish, it has brought him within 1 point of the points leader. So

far, Michelle has been able to stay above the crowd but will she be able to see it to the finish.

Come next week to find out.
