Gazillion, it varies heavily from week to week, but in this case, given what's happened to this point, you need a minimum of third place at your last tourney with lots of help.

Also, since it's a new page for me, here's another posting of the standings graphic:

easy

lol @ the guy at miwabe's FT that wants to chop if he gets to 3 handed (hes horrible obv)

ah yes, i remember my run-ins with dirtygrinder, donkimus maximus. he just got busted from FT of tourney B, where miwabe is still sitting 4/7. He also just got to the FT of tourney C. WiredRounder is at FT A, with only 5 left, but he's the shortie. Anaemilk is 1/10 in tourney D.

lol j/k i run like god:

Lol, purely by the grace of god.

Tourney C is dead with miwabe finishing 9th. Four players still in it, each at one final table. Good luck all, I'll be railing.

No, Gazillion, God's grace was clearly sitting out and had nothing to do with that hand.

LOL at this instant, miwabe, drifter, and rounder are all tied at 44.

And of course, as I type that, it's no longer true.

gg HP_Drifter - nasssssty cold deck

LOOOOOOOL. Anyone wanna guess how much money this cooler cost me?

Lots going on:
The other people at miwabe's FT are mowing down everyone, so he's in the final three.
WiredRounder's FT is still 5-handed.
Anaemik is 2/5 at his FT, with beatpunkus busted in 7th.

Tier 2:
If WiredRounder finishes 4th or better, he wins it.
Otherwise, if Anamik wins his FT, he wins tier 2.
Otherwise, it falls to beatpunkus/Drifter.

UPDATE at 2:13
WiredRounder just busted an opponent, so he clinches top 2 and tier 2.

UPDATE at 2:14
FT A is now 3-handed, and it's real simple.
WiredRounder must finish better than miwabe to win; if he does so, miwabe is 2nd overall.
If miwabe finishes at least as high as Wired, miwabe wins and Wired is 2nd.
Anaemik/Gazillion can put up a good score if he runs the table, but it'll only be good enough for 3rd.

UPDATE at 2:29
Miwabe immediately went out in 3rd in his, leaving a prolonged sweat at Wired's FT. But he couldn't get it done and landed in 3rd himself.
Anaemik just won his tournament, but it's only enough for 3rd.

Miwabe wins on the strength of two final tables. WiredRounder has a bronze and another cash for second overall.

Regular
1st ($136): Miwabe, 53
2nd ($34): WiredRounder, 50
3rd: Anaemik, 46.5

Premium
1st ($140): WiredRounder, 50
2nd: Anaemik, 46.5
3rd: HP_Drifter/beatpunkus, 46

Moneys being shipped....

Some minor soul reading helps put me back in 1st

Please confirm receipt of money. Final Standings Post:



D'oh, forgot to sort. obv Gazillion was 3rd.

rminusq - thanks for sticking around and keeping tabs on all that man. You get get anything for this or should I just go ahead and ship you something?

Thanks and well played everyone!

I would just like to thank rminusq for stepping in and doing a great job running the challenge this week. Also, I absolutely love the spreadsheet used for keeping track of the scores. And yes, I did receive the money.

It's for love of the game. There's no need to send anything.

thanks man. It's not much, but you held this together and deserve a little something for your time imo.

Got the money...gg everyone. That has to be a record beat. Thanks for running rminusq.

Had a blast. I'm definitely in for next week. Very nice job rminusq!!

Damn guys good job....
I continue to be embarrassed in this challenge

It's taken me until now to look back at this and realise that I completely posted the wrong HH up here (and a completely irrelevant non-hand in its place)

Thanks for all the WTFs guys....

Was this hand I meant to post
