Season 12 - Week 19

BPC Season 12 - Week 19
-----------------------

Kurticus takes firsticus!  Its been a relatively quite season so far for Kurt, with a 2nd and a 5th place finish as his only pointings of the season, he has at times languished pretty far down the pack going into Week 19.  But the 15 points are a shot in the arm for him, and jump him from 18th and 23 points out to 13th and just 9 points out of the Top 9.  He passes by KarJacked, Papa Kumo, Potts, Bagu and Jeena.  Kurticus is in the hunt.

Chess broke a 7 week cold streak last week with a 5th place finish, just enough to keep him in the Top 9 tied with Steve.  He continues in the right direction this week with a 2nd place finish and is in 5th place overall, passing by Padma, Julius, Judy and Nicole, and kicking Steven out of the Top 9 on his birthday week of all times.  Rude.  Chess is now at 65 points now, and on the verge of claiming a Final Table seat.  With 6 weeks left his minimum total is 71.  That hasn't been enough to make it into the big show recently though, the last two seasons the bubble has been 72 and 73, and right now its tracking at 72.4, so he probably needs at least one more pointing to confirm a spot.  Charlie, at 66 points currently, is in a similar boat.

After 5 weeks of silence Padma is back in the points with a 3rd place finish, and Papa-san sneaks in for 4th.  Eric was the Scrappy 5th and Bagu was the Bubble Boy, cooling off his 3-pointing-in-a-row comeback he was riding.  He is still in the lead for Mini-Season 4 though, with just one week left there's still 8 other people that can catch him.

Only 6 weeks left in the season!
