This week the VPL saw a dip in the numbers.
With some unfortunate situations for many people this week, the number of players dipped down to 18 players.
We started with 3 tables of 6.
Once again, do not mistake the small number of players for no action.
There was plenty of action.
I have to admit that this week, the river was not my friend at all (example later in the blog)
The rule states that if there are less then 21 players there will be no money to the Holiday Inn.
There were 4 the places paid (the 4th place going to the Points/TOC).
There were no new qualifiers this week.
There were four names on the bubble list:
Quentin, Jeremy, Bart and TC
Being short stacked, there was an all-in and the infamous "Call".
At the end, it was Quentin who went out in 4th place.
This, my friends, brings us to the money list:
Jeremy, TC and Bart
The hand went something like this:
Pre-flop raise by Bart, TC thinks..............then says "all-in"
Bart called. Bart had $6100 and TC had $6400
The cards are flipped: TC shows AK and Bart shows 77.
Flop came rags, Bart still leading, the turn came and Ace, TC bursts into the lead
only to the see the river hit a 7!
Next hand TC was out in the blind.
TC's 3rd place finish earned him $45
Heads-Up: Jeremy and Bart
Going into this battle Bart is chip leader.
Very good poker action with this heads up.
Although in the end, Jeremy just didn't have enough ammunition to hold off Bart's attacks.
Jeremy ended the night in 2nd place with a win of $76.
That means that Week 2 belonged to Bart. For his victory he walked away with the chip and $153.
Congratulations to both Jeremy and Bart at becoming the 2nd pair to become qualified for the TOC.
There is now a 3 way tie for the points.
Who will jump into the lead next week?
How many players will be playing next week?
The one thing that is for certain is that there will be crazy plays and even crazier calls but always excellent poker action.
See you next week!
Good luck everyone.
