2 HEATS TO GO!!!

The WSOP LEAGUE is getting very competitive, with quite a few players in with a shot at the last few places. Someone seems to get bumped off the top ten at each heat as players lurking just below the top ten slip ahead after picking up a few points.

Good win for Garret tonight, who is climbing the leaderboard again. I managed to pick-up another 7 points going out 4th when Garret's Ace, 10 hit a set to kill my pocket 7s.

Three straight flushes came out on the tables tonight and I witnessed a small pocket pair hit a set on the flop only for the bigger pocket pair to river a bigger set at least twice!

If tonight's final table had been online, you would swear it was a fix!

This is how the leaderboard currently stands along with the players just out of sight who could still feasibly enter the top ten with a win or consistent final table appearances at the final 2 heats:

Justin Thorne - 117,000

Nigel Holliday - 87,000

Alan Mason - 85,000

Gordon Troy - 81,000

Garret O'Brien - 78,000

Gary Whipp - 65,000

Soxy - 40,000

Ewan Le Marquand - 38,000

Nick Atkins - 29,000

Danny Paxton - 29,000

And catching-up:

Ricky Weir - 23,000

Phil Da Silva - 21,000

Mick Le Noury - 21,000

Charlie du Feu - 21,000

Craig Hartley - 15,000

Dougie - 15,000

Kev Hodkinson - 14,000

Nelio - 13,000

Kleber - 12,000

Good luck on Sunday at HEAT 19!!!

Booyah!!!

Big hand in tonight's WSOP LEAGUE...

I pick-up the gutshot straight flush draw on the flop and bet it. Nick calls and another club on the turn feels good for me. Nick bets and I shove all-in. Nick calls and I know he has a better flush. And sure enough he does, so I am dead to the 9 of clubs on the river for the straight flush and BOOM! Nail it...

Went on to win too, so not a bad night.

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.

SUMMER SERIES FINAL TABLE AND CHIP COUNTS...

After tonight's heat, 10 points is no good!

The £1000 final table next Sunday at 5pm looks as follows:

Dougie Prentice - 28,000 Chips

Gary Whipp - 21,000 Chips

Nelio - 18,000 Chips

Ewan - 17,000 Chips

Soxy - 16,000 Chips

Charlie du Feu - 15,000 Chips

Justin Thorne - 14,000 Chips

Helen Prentice - 12,000 Chips

Kleber - 12,000 Chips

Nigel Holliday - 11,000 Chips

If anyone can't make it, please let me know asap.
