The TPT March Leaderboard concluded on Thursday night with Bob “Myttazz” Buttrey final tabling Event #4 and solidifying his spot as the player of the Month. With his 8th place finish, Bob locked up the top prize with 254.17 Points, and guaranteed himself the cash added to his player account, as well as the subscription to online poker training site DuecesCracked. “JosephShowdown”, who finished Event #4 in 4th place, just a week after winning the Thursday event, finished 2nd in the leaderboard standings with 202.18 points.

It was a very interesting battle at the final table as we all wondered if Tracy “Astro_Pup” Snell, who’d won the previous 3 months in a row, could emerge from his 5th place standing to reclaim the top spot. Tracy was able to get into the final table, but did so short stacked, and eventually shoved his A6 into Paul “Fleapid” Ellis’ KK, and was eliminated in 7th place. The good run, and 3rd final table appearance in as many weeks did lift Tracy 2 more spots in the standings, and he claimed the third place prize.

Event #4 was eventuall won by “Fleapid” who took control of the final table, eliminating Kim “kimmimentdanger” Shannon on this very odd hand:

The river 4 gave “Fleapid” a lead that he wouldn’t surrender, and he eventually took down the event eliminating 6 players at the final table in all. Heads up with 2nd place finisher Rich “Buzzback” Tucker lasted 54 hands, with the final hand getting all the chips in the middle with “fleapid” holding As-Qs and “Buzzback” with Kd-Qd. The flop delivered great news for “Buzzback” with a K, but the 8s and 4s brought “fleapid” several draws. The board ran out Tc and Jh, giving “Fleapid” the broadway straight on the river, and completing the tournament.

Next week begins the 1st event for the April leaderboard where we will have a new series of prizes, including more opportunities to win your want into a World Series of Poker seat in Las Vegas this summer. Stay tuned.
