Season 20 Week 8

This was the final week of Season 20.

Let me tell you, what a season it has been.

First, The VPL had set a record this season. Week 5, was the first time in history that there was 23 people in one night. That tournament also set a record for the longest tournament. That week ended at 2:06 am. with the blinds at 600/1200.

Now in week 6, again, the record was tied at 23.

This season the record was set and not only tied once but tied twice.

That's right week 8 proved to be one of the biggest weeks to date. Also one of the tightest battles for points to date.

Week 8 had 23 people battle it out for the money. And we are talking big money.

We crowned the winner of the biggest points pots in VPL history.

That winner was.....................................that's later in the blog.

As per the rules, after 20 people there are 5 places paid (4 payouts and the 5th to the points/TOC pot).

This week also showed that after the final card was laid, there were 5 people with over 100 points. This feat was previously unheard of in the VPL.

Okay there are 5 people on todays list. That's right..............the bubble list:

James, Clay, Steve, Randy and David.

Hard fought battle proved to be a little too much for our 5th place finisher.

The person who won 19 points for 5th place, and popping the bubble was Steve.

Money time: Clay, Randy, James and David.

With a win of $31 and a 4th place finish was James.

James ended up with a total of 108 points without having a Q by his name.

Next to leave the table in 3rd place with a win of $39 was Clay.

That means the qualifers are David (already previously qualified) and Randy.

Randy is a new qualifier for the TOC.

Going into heads up with a crazy chip lead was David.

The heads up wasn't very long as Randy only had a few bets left, which meant that Randy finished in 2nd place with an impressive win of $97.

That meant that David was the winner of week 8 with a win of $195.

At the end of the tournament, it was Clay who ended up with the most points. He finished week 8 with a crazy 129 points.

This was the biggest points pot to date: Season 20 points pot ended up being $280.

Congratulations to Clay with the win of $280.

Now there are 14 people qualified for the TOC: Clay, Alan, TC, Todd, David, Angela, Brian, Joe,Brandon, Jeremy, Andrew, Randy and the two non-points qualifiers are James and Michelle

What can I say about Season 20. This season has proven to be no less that incredible.

With attendance records being set and tied along with a record for the highest points payout.

Simply put: AWESOME!

Now if all 14 players come to the TOC, the following will be the payouts:

1st - $350

2nd - $175

3rd - $105

4th - $ 75

This is the TOC to win.

Only way to find out who wins. You have to come and see.

Everyone is welcome to come watch. Good luck to everyone.

Let's hope Season 21 sets new records.
