Season 25 Week 5

I know I have slacked this past week and for that I apologize to everyone.

It is Wednesday morning and the blog will be updated today!

Coming on the downside of the halfway mark of season 25.

Week 5 brought us 19 people to slug it out on the poker felt.

The action was hot, however, the temperature was hotter.

The central was broken and the house felt like a sauna. HORRIBLE.

To those who stuck it out to the end and made it to the final table, I applaud you.

The numbers have dipped a bit from the VPL is used but that is OK.

We are using 3 tables full of poker action.

Since there were less than 21 people, there was no payout to the Holiday Inn.

The names that can be found on this weeks bubble list are:

Quentin, TC, Sam and Clay

This week's bubble was the battle between the short stacks.

TC and Sam were both short stacked coming into this.

They were waiting to see who would go out next.

Sam moves all-in against Clay.

Clay has the lead going into it. A3 versus 78

Sam hits a 7 on the flop, only to see an Ace fall on the river.

Sam pops the bubble in 4th place.

Money time: Quentin, TC and Clay

Trying to make a move TC moves all-in and gets called by Clay.

TC loses the hand and goes out in 3rd place with a win of $48.

Heads-Up: Clay and Quentin.

Two new qualifiers to the TOC.

In the end, there could only be one.

This week, going out in 2nd place with a win of $80 was Quentin.

This week, with the chip and $161 was Clay.

Congratulations to both of them for Qualifying for the TOC.

Good luck to everyone.
