Intense few weeks of poker!

Last weekend was awesome in terms of poker.

Friday night was a WSOP league, and I won the heat picking up 10 points for the leaderboard.

Saturday was Planet Pool's Quarterly Big One, £160 Freezeout and I won my seat for £15 at one of the Satellites Ady runs in the build-up. It was an awesome day of poker, with 30,000 starting chips, low blind levels and about 40 runners so £5000 in the pot!

Unfortunately I went out somewhere in the middle, but great news for the Club72 crew with Soxy winning the tournament, Garret coming second and Nigel just creeping into the cash at 6th place... well done lads!

Sunday was also good as it was the SUMMER SERIES £1000 final table and congratulations to Helen for seeing me off in 4th place, Soxy off in 3rd and her hubby, Dougie in 2nd!

We have 4 heats left for the WSOP $5000 package table, one tomorrow at 5pm, one on Friday, one on the Sunday and then the following Friday and that is it! We will have our 10 players ready to get it on for the Vegas trip.

I extended my lead last night to 100,000 starting chips but the players at the top of the pack aren't that far behind me.

Phil Da Silva is holding onto the 10th seat with 21 points, but 4 heats is plenty of time for the players just outside the leaderboard to catch-up.

The following could slip ahead for one of the final seats:

Ricky - 19 Points

Nick Atkins - 19 Points

Charlie - 17 Points

Craig Hartley - 16 Points

Dougie - 15 Points

Kev Hodkinson - 15 Points

Nelio - 11 Points

Any one of the above could catch a win or hit final tables in the next 4 heats to crash into the leaderboard...

Remember, the next heat is TOMORROW (Sunday) at 5pm.
