Season 18 Week 8

Here it is: The last week of season 18.

This week the VPL had 17 people come together to fight their way to the top.

the real battle was in the points. Michelle was leading coming into the tourney with 97 points.

Right behind here was Quentin with 92. Two others tied for 90 were TC and Steve.

More on that one later.

17 players means that 13 players had to leave before we reached the bubble.

Those four players were: Clay, Alan, Frank and Stan

Stan had the honor of busting the bubble this week in 4th place.

Money time: Alan, Clay and Frank

Alan was next to say goodbye to week 8 in 3rd place with a win of $44.

Heads up:

Frank and Clay.

Frank came into the heads up battle with a tremendous chip lead.

He was able to hold onto his chips and finally get all of them in the end.

Clay finished the tourney in 2nd place with a win of $70.

Frank was the victor with the chip and $145 to his name.

Okay back to the points.

Michelle's closest opponent was Quentin who left the table in with 5 points. She was still not out of the water yet. With Steve and TC still having a chance.

Next to leave was Steve with 6 points.

Right after Steve's exit, Michelle saw it was here turn to leave the table with 7 points.

Only TC left with a nice stack and a definate possibility of stealing the points away from Michelle.

With the final table of 8 (and 7 remaining)

TC saw that he had to get 4th place to win the points.

Blinds were 100/200 (on the last hand before the blinds were to raise)

TC, one from the bubble, looked down and saw pocket 8's.

With $2,000 in front of him decides to go all-in.

Button folds, small blind folds and Frank in the big blind ponders.

Frank finally says "I call"

TC shows 88 and Frank shows As2s

flop comes J 2 2 then rag and rag.

Frank flopped trips to take TC out with 11 points. He was just 3 shy of tying the points.

With TC eliminated Michelle secured the points win. The points for Season 18 was $269.

Congratulations to Michelle for winning points.

14 players for the TOC with two seats being sold (David and Clay cannot make it).

Good luck to everyone in the TOC.
