Week 12 of 20 is complete and, with his 3rd place finish this week, Joe Parrish’s top spot on our season leaderboard is ahead of 2nd by 15 points – more than a weekly win-but not out of reach. At this point we have 5 full Main Event Seats covered and 8 weeks left to cover at least a couple more so Joe is looking good to win one. There are 112 final table points left to win this season and no member is outvof it yet (some just need to kick it up a notch).

Following is some hands from the evening.

Andra Zachow opened 800, Steve jammed 11,000. Andra started to jam but just called. Shawn O’Brien jammed for a bit more than Steve’s and Andra jammed the rest of her stack.

Andra AA, Shawn KJo, Steve 69cc

As usual Steve rivered a straight, Shawn out, Andra back to starting stack.

A double up for Brett Pope through Jim Collims.

Andra and Shawn both hoping the other had the flop. Chop it up!
