Best Hand: The dead man's hand managed to secure a full house twice in one night.
Bad Beat: No bad beats were particularly evident. Andy did, however, play all the wrong hands in the first game.
Week 8 has passed and we are now coming into the last trimester of the poker season. Despite the table now dividing into the premiership and champions league there is still room for an upset.
The Brim has hit a rich vein of form in the mid season taking 5 points last week and 4 points this week. He seamed to be a man on a mission last night, firing out at hands left, right and centre. By comparison the Wookie has slipped into a low gear, taking only 1 point and a spoon all night. However, the end of the season is normally Wookie time with the Brim fading into low points so a reversal might be on the cards.
It is by no means certain that the poker champions are alone in a title battle. Lagging by only two points is this season's surprise performer Monkey Spunk. Pointing strongly and winning regularly Monkey spunk is a volatile force to be reckoned with and is clearly a champion in waiting. With a little more consistency he could swap the bottom of the table for the top in season 4.
Week 8 is normally the Spaniards stomping ground and, while he failed to secure a win, he is back at the top of the APBA league making him the best player at the table on technical performance. There is no doubt that with better attendance The Spaniard would be up there on the winners trophy season after season.
It's also worth noting that the baptist is quietly creeping up the table. Of the 3 players on 9 points the Baptist has the highest APBA suggesting that he may be safe from relegation. The Green Machine, on the other hand, seams to have wained as Monkey Spunk waxes. He is propping up the APBA and like Michael Jackson, The Green Machine is forever blowing bubbles. He needs to come to the table with some new energy and aggression next week.
Predictions for next week: The Brim, Monkey Spunk and the Wookie will focus attention on each other and let points slip to other players as a result. The biggest point winner from this battle will be Chris (on a return to form). However, Evert will take another wild card win as he starts to loosen his game up again.
