Week 20: Marsha Wolak and Austin Fowler chop the week and Joe Parrish wins the season!!!

It was week 20 – the final regular week of the season and several players needed some good points this week to win a Main Event Seat! Jacob Naumann needed to move up, Marsha needed others not to get points but to get points herself. Shawn O’Brien needed to stay ahead of Jacob.
It was level 1 when Shawn’s Queens were no good and he was sent to the rebuy window.
Jacob was out next when he paired his ace but Doc Brown hit a set of fours. Jake was next to the rebuy window.
Shawn & Jacob need some final table points to capture their Main Event seats.
