Season 11 - Week 14

BPC Season 11 - Week 14
-----------------------

Hurricane Earl may have just brushed by North Carolina on its way up the east coast, but BPC's very own hurricane Earl is on a complete smack down on Taffeta.  He had chips from the get go, kept accumulating them all night, and by the end he had everyone's. 

The first place and 15 points are massive for Steve, extending his overall lead to 15 points, pretty much the largest anyone has had all season, and pretty much guaranteeing him a seat at the Final Table.  (It hard to tell what the cutoff is going to be this year, last year was the first time we broke the 70-and-you're-in rule, but even if he doesn't point again for the rest of the season he'll still have 76 points.  That's gotta be safe.  Maybe.) 

It also gives him the lead in Mini-Season 3 with 31 points, 5 points ahead of Potts with only one week left.  It also puts all but four people (Steven, Potts, Morgan and Remo) out of contention for the mini-season.

Bagu got second place, not sure I saw him play a single hand. 

I was about to double up through Mike a get to a dangerously healthy chip stack, but instead he sucks out on me with a 5 outer and uses those chips to get 3rd place.  Mike is now back in the Top 9, shoving Jeremiah out along the way.

Mortimer is the other hot streaker, pointing yet again last night for the 3rd time in only 4 attempts.  The 4th place and 6 points pushes him to 31, only 13 points out of the Top 9.  At this rate and 11 weeks left, he's on pace for 85 points and a ticket to the show.

I got 4th.  Boo.  Should have been more, but I'll take it.  Mike, Arjan and I are having a little tea party all tied for 3rd overall. 

Padma was the bubble for the second time this season.

Kurt may have drafted a winning fantasy team last night, but he extends his BPC cold streak to 7 weeks.  Also in the cooler are Chess and Nicole, both with 5 week point-free streaks.

One final thought... the 9th place spot had 39 points in Week 12, and 42 in Week 13.  The half way point of the season is in between those two, so let's call it 40 points.  With that in mind, its not unreasonable to think that the 9th place spot will have double that come the end of the season... meaning 80 points is going to be the cutoff??!?!?  Ouch.  And actually I just looked back at Seasons 9 and 10, and roughly speaking that rule held true.  Game time.
