One week closer to the end of the Oregon Poker Tour season and only a few days before the end of summer, players once again gathered at the house of Co-founder Luke Shortridge for some poker action. For the first game, fourteen players put up their hard earned money for a chance to win $30. With Josh having won the last game he had played in, and him having a history of running off win after win after win; would he start another winning streak tonight? With Co-founder Dugan still sitting high atop the OPT leaderboard, who would make a move towards first tonight?

Luke won the tournament, proving that not everyone...wait...Luke...won...well, I guess this should get some fanfare too.
*ahem*
LUKE SHORTRIDGE WON
...for the first time since June 18, proving that not everyone who wears a beret just surrenders before the actions starts.
Two weeks in a row the OPT had seen players once on top of the leaderboard win their first game in months. With another game upcoming, would either Luke or Josh make a push toward Dugan? Or would someone else step up and try to take position on the leaderboard for a late season run?
