Baklava and Bearded Mike chopped Stud-8 after a half hour of heads-up play because they're so evenly matched that they could 1) play all night at Hank's and keep his poor girlfriend away, or 2) raise the blinds to the point that it would be a luck-fest. Given the relative rankings, it didn't affect anyone's standings. The website will say Bearded Mike was first, but that's only because he uploads the computer standings. The tournament was Baklava's third title and Bearded Mike's fourth.
The current Top 8 are:
Hank-----------------233 points
Bearded Mike---------186 points
Baklava--------------160 points
Jim------------------141 points
Phil-----------------133 points
Sean-----------------120 points
Chris----------------113 points
Keith----------------99 points
Brandon, Gracie, Pablo, Dan, and Tim are all within seven points of each other, and between 14 to 21 points behind Keith.
This Sunday's Ace-to-Five title likely will be worth around 20 points.
Note: I found the problem with the points from Tournament 18 - this is what happens when people show up late. The points above and on the site reflect the revisions.
