JC comes back after a 3 week layoff (and only playing in 4 of the

last 11 weeks) and takes down the final week of the season. Well done JC, and congrats! Although I would have liked it even more if you would not have been the second person in the night to take all my chips with a nasty 2-outer.
Jagu got 2nd and makes a healthy move up from 7th and into the bonus chips at 4th.
Eric got 3rd and moved up a spot into 5th.
Mike solidified his Point Championship title by placing in 4th, congrats Mikey!!!
Jeena got the scrappy 5th spot, and Judy was the Bubble for the second week in a row.
Congrats to everyone who made the Final Table!

Eric takes down Week 24 but only moves up one spot from 7th to 6th.
 |
Week 24 Winner...
Eric! |
It's still a huge win though because it takes him out of the danger zone and locks him in to the Final Table of this, the 20th season of the BPC. Congrats Eric!
Similarly, Jagu bags 2nd, but actually moves down a spot because of Eric, but he secures his ticket to the show, continuing his amazing streak of appearances. (Thanks in part to a suck out on me. I pulled a Judy and caught him with his hands in the cookie jar going all with crap in for about half my chips. Unlike Judy though, my hand didn't hold up.)
Charlie got 3rd, which he needed to stay in 5th place overall.
I got 4th. Measly but enough to break from the shackles of my tie for 8th with Amir, and move past Kurt into 8th by a monstrous point.
Allan U got his third pointing in a row with the scrappy 5th, which was all he needed to move into 2nd place past Jeena. He's also in the lead for the final Mini-Season, but there's 5 other players still within reach.
Judy was the Bubble.
Hopefully Jeremiah will provide us with the traditional detailed what-if scenario write up, but the highlights are:
- Everyone from 1st through 7th in the green zone has their ticket to the Final Table stamped.
- Everyone 13th and below is mathematically eliminated.
- The 5 players in the 8th through 12th spots are in the danger zone and still have work to do tonight to fight for the final 2 open spots.
- 3 players, Mike, Allan U and Jeena, still have a chance to win the Points Championship.

Mike takes down his league-leading 4th victory of the season, and
 |
Week 23 Winner...
Mike! |
reclaims the top spot back from Jeena. (Who I didn't notice before but was in first place overall without a single victory this season, putting her in a position to recreate Nicole's feat of winning the points title without any wins.)
It's going to be a bit tougher now though, because Mike has created a 13 point lead with just two weeks left. It's still far from over and there's still people that can steal it from him, but with the way he's playing he could shut the door in the next game. Congrats Mike! (Don't you have a triathlon to run or something?)
Allan U continues his consistent season, following up last week's win with a 2nd place this week. Well done. He still remains in 3rd place overall, but now just a point behind Jeena.
For the most part, the rich just got richer, including Padma who got 3rd and remains in 4th.
4th went to Allen Y, and he moves past Jeremiah into the 11th spot, just 4 points out of the Top 9.
Chester got the scrappy 5th. 2 weeks left and only 18 points out, it's not over yet.
Charlie was the Bubble Boy.
