Season 26 Week 8

What a way to finish season 26.

Week 8 brought together 22 poker players for their last chance to qualify for the TOC.

This was the final week to see who would win points.

Scott was leading points all the way through week 6.

Come week 7, Quentin jumped ahead of him by 6 points.

Coming into week 8 Quentin was points leader.

Quentin left the table and earned 9 points which gave him a total of 131.

Scott battled through a field of players trying to gain position.

Finally, it was Scott’s turn to say good-bye to the felt.

He left the tournament earning 15 points also giving him 131.

The points will be split between Scott and Quentin.

Total points prize pool was $326.

Each of them earned $163.

Congratulations to both players for their win.

So how did the rest of the tournament go?..................read on my friend.

This season was very interesting because I sat out this season.

I was luck enough to have my buy-in paid for in week 2 and week 8.

Week 8 was also a celebration for Slugger’s birthday.

With a lot of all-ins, calls, bets, raises and folds brings us to the bubble list:

Valerie, Slugger, TC and Dave SL.

The only name on this list with a Q is Slugger.

That means there will be at least one new qualifier

Going out in 4th place one the bubble was…………..Slugger.

I’m sure this was fine because this gave him more time to finish his bottle of Jack.

Being that Slugger is on the rail, this means that there will be 2 new qualifiers for the TOC.

Money list:

Valerie, TC and Dave SL.

When there is a 4th, it’s always followed by a 3rd.

This week, going out in 3rd place with a win of $37 was Valerie.

Heads-Up: TC and Dave SL.

When the tournament ended it was Dave SL who went out in 2nd place with a win of $93.

That statement is only followed by:

In 1st place, with a win of $187 and the chip was TC.

Congratulations to TC and Dave SL. For being the last players to qualify for the TOC.

There are now a total of 16 players qualified for the TOC.

I do believe this is the biggest TOC in the history of the VPL.

Who will take it down next week?

Come and watch the crazy action which can only be found at Valdez Casino.

Good luck everyone.
