Hand of The Night: Mike smashes, Steve's nut flush with 2's full of Kings
Bad Beat of the Night: None I remember.

The Baptist seams to like to set his stall out early. Remember that time he landed a (nearly) Royal Flush in the first hand? Well he was at it again last night. Flushes, Full Houses and some very nice opening hands monstered Mike early. However, and we've all been here, that early lead was chipped away leaving Evert the man to beat late in the game. Indeed Evert was unlucky not to win but he did walk into....

THE GREEN MACHINE IS BACK. Playing like Wimbledon in their 'Crazy Gang' days, Chris was scared of nothing. Bets came flying in left right and centre. He played heads up like a man possessed and took a well deserved win. Notably, he bubbled again in game two but it could have been a different story. Facing a draw for a flush and a straight Chris went all in against Tony and Jof (both sat on a pair of Aces). If he'd taken the hand Game two may have been his as well.

Meanwhile, The war between the Brim and The Wookie reached a stalemate last night. Like North and South Korea, shots were fired but failed to escalate. Both took a reasonable two points leaving The Wookie with a strong 5pt lead into the last week.

Finally, Where was Monkey Spunk? A league filled with solid performance was let down by a damp squib last night. By failing to point the Spunkster has fallen back into joint second with a mountain to climb to take the win.

Prediction for the final week: The Wookie will tighten up, looking for one or two points to seal a certain victory. On the other hand The Brim and Monkey Spunk will seek to interfere. Both need to secure wins and that might make the table volatile. Indeed this is likely to cause a similar outcome as to last night: points will disperse down the table with the leaders seeing very little change in position.
