Season 20 - Week 9

Week 9 Winner... Padma!

I was on hiatus two seasons ago when Padma completely destroyed the field and ran away with the season points title, but just my luck I may be able to witness it first hand this season. She has pointed 3 weeks in a row now, completing the hat-trick with a 1st, a 2nd and now another 1st place finish in Week 9 of this, the 20th season of the BPC.

Incredible. She's the first with multiple wins, and extends her already significant lead to 21 ahead of 2nd place Allan U. For some perspective, she is ahead by more points than notables such as Potts, Chess, Remo, Andy, Kelly, JC, Jeremiah (you get the picture) have all season. She has also clinched up Mini-Season 2 with one week still to go. Well done Padma. Now stop it.

Before we get to the rest of the finishers, let's listen to some quotes heard during the night.

[7:15] "I never plan to." - Brice, when asked upon arrival if he was going to rebuy.

[7:51] "Judy rebuy!" - Someone.
That's reigning Champion Judy to you sir.

[7:53] "Brice rebuy!" - Someone.
He may never plan on it, but clearly he's never opposed to it.

[8:07] Jeremiah: "What are you thinking about?"
Potts: "Why? Now you have my attention. I think you want me to fold."
Jeremiah: "Ok, then call."
Potts' Brain: "Damn."
Potts' Ego: "Do it."

Potts ends up calling after that 50 shades of brain fk from Jeremiah, and ends up losing to Jeremiah's small rivered flush.

[8:10] "Potts, I can guarantee you two things tonight. You will play your best, and it won't be enough." - Kurticus

[8:51] "I'm not worried about Jeremiah. In fact he has far too many chips for him to be dangerous." - Kurticus, after Jeremiah has scooped a bunch of pots.

[8:53] "Really Jeremiah?" - Jeena after Jeremiah shoves pre-flop.
Jeena ends up calling with A-Q and Jeremiah shows my btchs, pkt-K's. The K's hold up and Jeena is out.

[8:58] Chess is here! With a brief case of Coors light in hand.

[9:39] "Re-raise." - Allen Y putting Chess all-in.
Chess calls. Allen shows A-Q and Chess shows Ace with a mystery card underneath. (I correctly guessed it as a Jack.) Allen's A-Q holds up, and Chess is out.

But it was the other Allan that ended up finishing in 2nd behind Padma. Allan U gets his 4th pointing of the season and second in a row, moving out of the 3-way tie for 5th into 2nd place. (It also puts him in 2nd for the Mini-Season, but 23 points out and out of reach of Padma.)

Jagu navigates past a minor pharmaceutical mishap into 3rd place, his second of the season, and moves into the Top 9 at 7th.

Charlie got his league-leading 5th pointing of the season (only Padma has as many) with a 4th place, and moves into a tie for 4th with me.

Allen Y took Chess' chips to the scrappy 5th. Jeremiah was the Bubble Boy, and is the only player who is 0 for 9 in the season. Don't let that fool you though, he's ALWAYS been a second half player.

Week 9 Final Table

Season 20 - Week 8

Week 8 Winner... Judy!!!

At about 9:16 pm a short stacked Judy went all in pre-flop for 1875, and got calls from Jeremiah and Potts. A straight on the river gave her a triple up, and I don't think she looked back from there as she was Week 8's winner of this, the 20th season of the BPC. Congrats Judy!

It's her first pointing of the season and it moves her up from 20th to 10th, just out of the Top 9.

Apparently Jeremiah's giving mood didn't stop there. He had accumulated a sizable stack, over 40K, but started to distribute them out, one of the primary benefactors being Padma who used them to follow up last week's 1st place with a 2nd place this week. She is now both the Mini-Season leader and the overall leader by healthy 10 points. Good job Padmito!

Eric also went back to back with a solid 3rd place finish this week, and moves up from 18th and into the Top 9 at 8th.

Allen U goth 4th and also moves into the Top 9 into a 3-way tie for 5th, with Charlie Hebdo who got the scrappy 5th and Steven Earl who was a no show.)

And I was this season's first 2-time Bubble Boy, so I got that going for me.
