WSOP LEAGUE UPDATE

Well, Friday was interesting. We are nearly half-way there through the WSOP LEAGUE for the $5000 package and things are getting competitive.

Congratulations to Nelio for picking-up his first league win in what can only be described as a rampage of luck, and a strategy of calling with pretty much any two cards! Our table could hear the groans from Nelio's table as we slowly ground down towards the final ten. The 'Mediterranean Machete' eliminated one player after the other with rags, hitting two pair every time against pocket face cards or over cards. I dealt for the final 3 and feel for Danny who shoved 60,000 or so with pocket 10s, only for Nelio to insta-call with Jack, 3 suited and of course he turned the flush... wow, I hope he bought some lottery tickets yesterday!

I went out 6th with Ace, 10 on the button. I shoved and the small blind re-raised to isolate me with pocket 6s. I was happy to see a 10 on the flop... not so happy to see a 6 on the river, especially as it was his only out as the other 6 was folded pre-flop.

Anyway, despite Nelio's insult to 'poker nature', not much has changed at the top of the league although Danny Paxton has entered the top ten, knocking Soxy off the leaderboard!

Remember, at the end of the 20 HEATS, the top ten players in the league will fight it out in a FREEZEOUT for the $5000 VEGAS PACKAGE! We will multiply their points by 1000 to define everyone's starting stacks.

Nigel is still racing ahead and has built up a healthy lead just in time for going on holiday for a couple of weeks. I am hot on his heels and with three heats taking place whilst he is away, I may just catch him!

Just for info, only two players have managed to hit the final table in every single heat for the WSOP package. Nigel and yours truly.

Of course the difference is, Nigel tends to win them, I just turn up for support!

The leaderboards for the leagues are always in the side panel >>>>>

But it currently looks like this:

Nigel Holliday - 57,000

Justin Thorne - 41,000

Alan Mason - 34,000

Garret O'Brien - 33,000

Gary Whipp - 29,000

Gordon Troy - 29,000

Ewan Le Marquand - 18,000

Charlie du Feu - 17,000

Craig Hartley - 16,000

Danny Paxton - 16,000

Oh, and of course, Friday was also pretty good because we had the CLUB72 MASSAGE GIRLS in the house, dishing out massages at the poker tables for £1 per minute... I think I had three, and managed to spend more money on that than poker!

Also (FINALY!) turned around my losing streak in the cash game, turning £100 into £600 at closing time... and managed to squeeze in one more massage from Chloe he he he!

See you at the tables...
