October 01 2004

The very beginning of the new month brought poker action back to the house of Co-founder Dugan. Thoughts of the upcoming Halloween Poker Challenge started swirling though player's minds . . . mostly about what costume they were going to wear. Still, the fact still remained that quickly approaching was the third out of four to get a seat at the OPT Championship. With Dugan still holding an over $150 lead over second place on the OPT Leaderboard, would anyone make their run towards first place?

     

The Winner ($24.00):

Josh Cowan

PLACE Name: Busted By:
10 Jerry Pickering Tim Dugan

8 Tim Dugan Ray Welch
7 Tony Hartford Josh Cowan
6 Stephen Howard Josh Cowan
5 Jenell Armstrong Greg Krumnow
4 Greg Krumnow Josh Cowan
3 Chris Rutkowski Josh Cowan
2 Ray Welch Josh Cowan

Josh won another game, making three in four weeks. With it, he jumped above Luke for second place on the OPT leaderboard.

The second game of the night involved fourteen players. In the last game, Ray had made his first big push towards a victory in a while. While it didn't come last game, would the momentum keep him going in this game? Would Josh keep his run towards first place up? Or would Dugan push ahead further.
