Another great turnout of 13 for Notts. Beaten only by Sunderland with 16 players and matched by Leeds.
Bal Powar (shozboy x), who was at or near the top of the last league"s club standings throughout, staked his claim on this season"s Notts Player of the Season trophy with a magnificent but patient performance. He spent most of the game as one of the shorter stacks but bided his time and picked his spots to reach the final table. Once there, he opened up a bit, quickly accumulating chips.
He was joined at the final table by Duncan Hodgkins (duncan667). Dunc had an eventful trip to the final, accumulating chips early by knocking his skipper out
:"(. Dunc spent most of the game in the top 10 and seemed comfortable throughout, managing to follow-up his 19th place last time out with a brilliant 3rd place this week.
However it was Bal"s patient game that won the day and indeed the tournament, taking the 9 points. This in conjunction with Dunc"s 7 points was easily enough to secure the 3 points for Notts.
Sunderland also brought 2 to the final, amassing 11 points which was enough for second place and 2 team points. Luton picked up the 1 point on offer for 3rd spot.
So a fantastic start to the season for Notts - 2nd last time and 1st this week - scoring 5 points to take us to the top of the table. Leeds are in 2nd place on 3points. Luton & Sunderland are both on 2 points.
