August 2008

Khashy maintains his streak of final tables in dramatic fashion as he wins his first tournament and takes over the top spot in the rankings. Vu Ho and Paul Palomino both slip one place to second and third place, respectively, and Steve Leeb holds on to fourth place. Chris Canonica follows up his win last month with a 9th place finish, which moves him up one spot to fifth place in the standings. Dave Baldwin cracks the top ten with his third straight finish in the top 6. Three other players with high finishes this month all make big moves in the standings with each jumping ~20 spots and they are Teddy Barber, Vera Murillo and Scott Ortiz.

July 2008

Vu Ho takes back the top spot with his 3rd top-two finish in only his fourth tournament! Paul Palomino rebounds from his 49th place finish last month to squeeze into the money this month in 8th place, which is good enough to hold onto 2nd place overall. Khashy continues his impressive streak of now four straight final tables with a 4th place finish inching him up to third place in the standings. After taking over the top spot last month, Steve Leeb stumbles a bit finishing in 25th place, which drops him to fourth place. Bessie also drops a couple spots after getting knocked out early in 45th place. Chris Canonica is the July champ picking up his second blue chip and jumping him up to sixth place.

June 2008

For the fourth straight month, we have a new leader of the pack. With his club-leading 3rd cash this year, Steve Leeb takes over the top spot. Paul has his worst finish ever, coming in 49th place and slips to 2nd. Bessie also falls one spot to 3rd place. The one-named wonder Khashy finishes 2nd this month, his third straight final table, jumping him up to 4th place overall. Nick Burki is this month's champion and the 50 points he receives moves him from off the charts all the way up to 12th place. Also of note, Bob Stoldt wins his 3rd straight tournament, but number's 1 and 3 were wins in the consolation tournament.

Steve Leeb continues to finish in the top half of the pack with his best performance this year coming in fourth place, which moves him up to 4th place overall. Bob Stoldt wins his second straight tournament, but...April's win was in the consolation tournament. Bob's victory in May jumps him into the top 20.
