Early on a huge hand took place as Points leader Emily, 3rd place standings member Drew, and 6th place standings Stanica got all-in. Drew & Stanica split the pot with their matching J/10s and Emily was the first one eliminated.  Later, the husband and wife combo of Phillip and Tracy were taken out back to back by Josh. Phillip was crippled by a hand in which he laid down the pocket rockets after having taken a bad beat the hand before. A titanic grind followed as Josh was first whittled down, then short-stacked Drew made a move as Stanica's chips bled away until it was down to Roman v Drew with Roman having a commanding chip lead. Finally a titanic hand arose with Drew's K/10 making 2 pair only to fall to Romans K/J....which also made 2 pair and Roman became the 2nd person to post back to back wins.

It was another month of solid, solid play. Raises were reasonable and made sense, people actually thought about what they were doing, and the atmosphere was exactly what we have been trying to achieve. This was one of the funnest months on record to date, well done everyone. Let's keep it going.
