I would like to say that I am thankful for everyone because it is all of us combined which makes the Valley Poker League.
We finished off quite a season. Season 21 had big numbers and even bigger payouts.
But it is all the hard work that gets us to the conveted Tournament of Champions.
This season there were 14 players who qualified for the TOC.
Unlike past seasons, everyone showed up. Some even early enough to receive the bonus chips.
This was quite the battle.
The 1st person to leave the table didn't get up until the very last hand right before the break at 15-30.
After some daring plays and big bluffs we arrive at the bubble.
This week the five names on the bubble were:
Joe, Mark, Alan, TC and Clay
It was Alan who popped the bubble for season 21's TOC.
Money time:
TC, Clay, Mark and Joe
Money presentation was a little different this season:
When everyone was in the money, it was brought out on a tray ready in bundles.
4 bundles represented each place......................every payout in $1 bills.
Coming into the money there were two previous bracelet winners (Clay and TC each going for their 3rd) and two players playing for their first bracelet (Joe and Mark).
In 4th place with a win of $72 was TC.
At this point Clay was shooting for his 3rd bracelet.
It wasn't in the cards for Clay this TOC as he exited the table in 3rd place with a win of $109.
Heads-up: Joe and Mark
There will be a new champion.
2nd place belonged to Joe with a win of $181.
With his new bracelet, Mark won the Tournament of Champions for season 21.
His efforts earned him $362.00
Congratulations to all the qualifiers.
Hope to see everyone for season 22.
