Season 21 Week 1

This is it! The start of a brand new season for the VPL.



That's right, Season 21 is under way.



What a way to start off Season 21.



This week the VPL was host to 20 people who sat together in harmoney (well...............I don't know about harmony) to play nicely (well...........I don't know about nicely) and see who would take this weeks prize.



This week was crazy because for the first time in a very long time, the blinds were capped at 500/1000.

* if one more person would have come then the cap would have been raised to 1000/2000.



This week's game also proved to be one of the longest games. This week the tournament finished after 1:00am.



It was the battle of the wills, because when the break came only 2 people were out, but that isn't where we begin our tale this week.



That's right bubble time: Angela, James, Joe and Mark



This week it was James who was the magician and made himself disappear when the bubble popped. He left the table in 4th place earning 18pts.



This week the money got distributed to: Angela, Mark and Joe



Very interesting position here. Who is going to be heads-up?



I would like to see the result of Joe vs Angela.



Unfortunately for me that didn't happen because it was Angela going out in 3rd place with a win of $51.



Head-Up: Joe vs Mark.



This battle was very interesting. Two players with two unique styles of play.



The blinds were capped at 500/1000 before a winner was declared.



There were a few times with an all-in and a call..........only to see a double up.



In the end, there was a final all-in and a call.



When the river hit the board, it was Mark who saw himself on the lower end.



Mark finished in 2nd place with a win of $85.



That means that Joe was the winner of Season 21 Week 1 with the chip, and a win of $170.



Congratulations to Joe and Mark for being the first two players to be qualified for the TOC.



Will next week bring the same action? Only one way to find out.........come to the VPL and try



your luck.



Good luck to everyone and we will see you next week.
