Just wow – where do we begin?

In a wild, crazy and LATE night, Rich Southard picked up his 3rd win of 2018, his 25th all time, collects a record setting $784 first place prize, pushing Rich’s career earnings over $20,000 (first to this milestone and $4000 clear of the field), he sits on top of the 2018 leader board with 5100 points setting him up for an outside shot at the all time single season points total of 6,525. He matched up heads up vs Jay Fern, Jay played really strong all night and entered the heads up with a solid 130,000 – 65,000 chip lead, but it only lasted 6 hands, 2 in which Jay folded down and 4 that went to the river, Jay was ahead in 3 of the 4 hands and lost every single one of them. Amazingly neither Jay nor Rich rebought and both went home with a nice overall profit for their 9 1/2 hours of work.

3rd place went to Uncle Bob who picked up some important points to dig himself out from 15th place in points and move up to 11th and within striking distance of the top 6 and the final table. And Amazingly, 4th place when to Scott Davis, the grinder, who at one point was down to 900 chips and built it back up, survived and cashed out a nice $196 for 4th place. Scott also took home high hand with a straight flush and we did have 2 four or a kind winners so there is no carry over to October.
