Coming off of the tournament with the BG players, the OPT held its own event at the house of Co-founder Luke Shortridge. With the group still buzzing about the last huge games played only a few hours ago, this game with only ten players seemed to fly by quickly. Dugan still held first place on the OPT leader board, but Luke was still close behind, and with most of the year to go, an early lead might not hold up for long. Who would take the victory tonight?

The Winner ($24.00):

Josh Cowan

PLACE Name: Busted By:
10 Jerry Pickering Chris Rutkowski

8 Kristi Coe Josh Cowan
7 Christina Zimmerman Emily Bean
6 Ray Welch Josh Cowan
5 Tim Dugan Luke Shortridge
4 Emily Bean Josh Cowan
3 Luke Shortridge Josh Cowan
2 Chris Rutkowski Josh Cowan
 

Josh took the first game of the night, having bolted himself into second place on the OPT leader board.

But the night was far from over. Six OPT players were looking to get one last bit of action for the night. With Luke sitting out, leaving third place undefended, could someone sneak in the door and close the gap between the leaders and the rest of the pack?
