Season 11 - Week 13

BPC Season 11 - Week 13
-----------------------

We have officially passed the half way point of the season, and last night brought huge changes across the leader board.  Morgan and Steven ended up heads up, and Morgan comes out on top this week.  He's only played 3 times, but now has a 1st and a 3rd to show for it, so is making his way up the leader board.

Steven's 2nd and 12 points vaults him from 10th place all the way to the top, and he is now our new overall leader.  After blanking the first 5 weeks to start off the season, he has now pointed in 5 of the last 8 and is the man to catch.

Potts got 3rd last night, and its only his third pointing of the season.  But with the other two being firsts, its enough to put him in second place overall, just a single point behind the leader.

Arjan continues his climb, and with his 4th place and 6 points from last night, he's now in 3rd place overall.  That means all 3 of the Top 3 are new this week.

Jeena got 5th, and those scrappy 3 points are actually huge for her.  With them, she's in 6th place overall by herself, without them she's out of the Top 9.

And this week's Bubble Boy was no new comer to the position... Hee Hall for the third time this season.

Meanwhile, I'm heading in the wrong direction and have now gone 5 weeks in a row without pointing.  This time courtesy of Julius with a well placed suck out.  The only one colder than me right now is Kurt, who is on a 6 week losing streak.

What a crazy tight race this season though.  With no break away winners and half a season left, everyone is completely still in the hunt.  Right now 13th place could still just about be the overall leader with just a single win.

Season 11 - Week 12

BPC Season 11 - Week 12
-----------------------

And we have a new overall leader... KarJacked!!!  Karrie was able to get her team their third 2nd place of the season, giving them 45 points and first place all to their lonesome.  Tap tap, I get Karrie on my team next year.

First place for the week goes to Remo.  In only his second showing of the season, he's a player on the move.

Judy had a monster stack of 5000's last time I saw her, and she was able to use them to get to 3rd place.  Sunj got 4th and Jeena got 5th.

Padma was the Bubble Gal for the week.

 Separated at birth...

Season 11 - Week 11

BPC Season 11 - Week 11
-----------------------

I was all prepared to hand over my temporary and tenuous season lead to someone this week, especially after getting out-played by Jeremiah and exiting before the final table.  (I had two pair, I thought for sure he was just playing his aces.  Well, he was, except he had a pair of Q's to go with them too for top two.)  But the good news is that I'm kicking his ass in bejeweled blitz this week, so we'll call it even.

As it stands though, no one in the top 7 pointed this week, so I get to hold on to the tiara for just a bit longer. 

Potts ends up winning the week, for his second pointing (both of them wins) of the season in just 7 showings.  The win boosts him up all the way from 15th to 5th all by himself.

Jeremiah got 2nd, and goes from 11th to tied for 3rd with Arjan.

Third place goes to Omar, who has been ice cold this season but gets his first pointing in 9 starts.  Hee Hall got 4th place for his first pointing, and Steven got the scrappy 5th for his 4th pointing in the last 6 weeks.  Hopefully his luck carried on to Vegas this weekend for him.

Bryan was the bubble boy for the week, and Sungina and KarJacked are the two booted from the Top 9 party for now.

Mike dealing?  Had to get a pic...

...and Omar has chips?  That's like seeing Sasquatch and Nessie together this season.

Weird night I guess.

Sunj and Jeremiah, deep in poker thought.  Or not...

Week 11 action...

The Adventures of Remo Williams...

This pic doesn't do it justice, but this mural by Jeena is the size of a wall...

Remember when cakes used to just be round with plain frosting?

Season 11 - Week 10

BPC Season 11 - Week 10 
-----------------------

Arjan Uncle steps up in Week 10, winning both the week AND the mini-season!  Great job Arjan.  That moves him up to 39 points and 3rd place overall, in the Top 9 for the first time this season.  All of his points came in the second mini-season, timing is everything.

Mike got 2nd place, for his second pointing in a row and 4th overall.  He's at 36 points now, in the Top 9 for the first time of the season and tied with the Milkman in 5th place.  (Which reminds me, I have a side bet on those guys.)  Arjan and Mike bumped out Jeremiah and Nicole from the Top 9.

Third place goes to "Captain" Morgan, a strong showing in only his second appearance for the year.  I went through the trouble of moving him out of the "Guest" row and into his own, so hopefully he'll show up a lot more this season.  (Even with just those two showings, his still ahead of all-stars Omar and Hee Hall.)

Fourth place goes to Jeena, who moves up from 7th to 4th overall.  She finished with 32 points in the mini-season, just 3 behind Arjan.  The Godfather gets the scrappy 5th, and Hee The Champ Hall is the Bubble Boy for the second week in a row.

Next week starts a fresh new mini-season, let's see who can get hot or continue their hot streaks.

There was some grumbling that the DOUBLE HEADER previously scheduled for next week will be MOVED.  I haven't updated the spreadsheet yet, so it still says next week, but more than likely it will be moved to Friday 8/13 to Friday 10/1.  A confirmation wil be sent out later.  Blame it on Sungina.
