Update

(Friday) Another day of deep runs but not big money runs. However, this was great for the Pocket 5's contest. All 6 of the House of Pain scores today were strong. We had 2 cashes and 4 near cashes. I went deep in the NLH 6 max before bowing out 33rd of 1815, and Tom had a crazy ride in the 7 Card Stud tourney. He finished 38th out of 592. We have opened up a decent gap in the contest, but it is hardly wrapped up with four events left.

In our other contest, both Toph and Nick had cashes in tourneys they counted. However, Toph went very deep in the NLH tourney to take over the lead. Nick continues to play very well, but still has his moments where he BlueFlare's it. He is very close to being deadly though, and the best thing about it is his desire to learn and ask questions to better his weaknesses.

Here are the standings:

Toph 150.42 pts (6 event used)

Nick 119.59 pts (8 events used)

Chris 93.25 pts (8 events used)
Jason 73.39 pts (8 events used)
Tom 68.87 pts (9 events used)

and in the Pocket 5's contest:

House of Pain (us) 2029.49 pts

Team Stu Paterson 1898.98 pts

Team AJKHoosier 1880.88 pts

Team USCphildo 1848.23 pts
Team The_Dean 1649.41 pts
Team Intervention 1207.77 pts
