Season 21 - Week 12

"Jagu just told me to think about positions. Now how am I supposed to think

Week 12 Winner...
Padma!
(File footage)

about playing poker after that?" - Judy to me as players are taking their seat.

That was pretty funny, but probably a better question is now how am I?

"Where'd you get the baby?" Potts to a pregnant Sungina.

I have no words.

OK those quotes were actually from the Taffeta Classic and not Week 12, but they were good enough to write down so there you have it. And I didn't last very long in Week 12 so don't have much, including pictures. But what I do know:

Padma took back control of overall 1st place last week, wresting it back from Remo who was bold enough to hold on to it for 3 weeks.

With a win in Week 12, she's making it clear that she wants to hold on to it a bit longer. She extends her lead to 19 with her league-leading 6th pointing of the season. She's the only multi-win player with 3, no one else has more than one. She's averaging almost 6.5 points a week and is on pace for 160 for the season. That's doing work. Congrats Padma!

Allen Y got 2nd and pops up 5 places from 9th to 4th, passing by Eric, Jeena, Dermo, Allan U and JC.

And after 11 weeks (and averaging less than a point a week) Amir is finally on the board! Going into the week he was pretty much in last place of regular players, tied with Julius (who has only played once.) But a 3rd place pops him up a couple of spots, passing by Kurt and Kelly and landing in the 17th spot.

Jeena got 4th and moves up a spot, as does Andy with a scrappy 5th place finish.

And Dermo was the Bubble Boy.

Season 21 - Week 11

Allan U had gone the last 4 weeks without a pointed, and dropped out of

Week 11 Winner...
Allan U!

the Top 9 from 7th to 11th. He's back with a win in Week 11 and moves up to the 5th spot. Congrats Allan!

Andy gets his third and best pointing of the season with a 2nd place. He hasn't found himself in the Top 9 yet this season, but he does move up 6 spots to 12th and is only 6 points out now.

Either Padma or Remo have held the top spot in 8 of the 11 weeks of the season, with Remo holding it the last 3 weeks. With a 3rd this weekend Padma takes it back. Congrats Padma.

Nicole closes the gap a bit in the Las Flores Championship with a 4th, and Judy was the scrappy 5th.

JC was this week's Bubble Boy.

Week 11 Final Table

Season 21 - Week 10

Dermo gets his first win and 4th pointing of the season in Week 10, resulting in

Week 10 winner,
Mini-Season 2 winner,
with the winning hand...
Dermo!

a big jump up to 5th place after loitering in the 12th-17th spots for most of the season. Impressively, it is also enough to make him the winner of Mini-Season 2, jumping ahead of Allen Y, Remo, Eric and JC after coming into the final week with them ahead and him 12 points behind . Congrats Derek!

Just 2 weeks ago Mike was in 18th place in the BPC and last place in the race for the Las Flores championship, but after pointing with a 4th last week and finishing this week with a 2nd place, he is back in the BPC Top 9 and 1st in Las Flores. I think he did this kind of slow roll last season too, where he played sort of dormant poker for the first 10 weeks, then lit it up the rest of the way on to a double championship, so keep an eye in your rear view mirror for this cat. Too bad there aren't like poker goggles we can knock off his face to disrupt him for a bit.

Dermo and Mike's moves into the Top 9 come at a cost though. A cost to who you ask? To Chess and Allan U, who are booted out after neither of them pointing for the last 4 weeks (and Chess not for the last 7.)

Jeena went out in 4th not long before the same guy who got 3rd last week got 3rd again.

Nicole got the scrappy 5th, and Eric was this week's Bubble.
