YoungWillz 21,208 Posted December 10 Bloom-ing heck, Yarrow's done for, Doctor! Actor and screenwriter Arnold of the Yarrow has become an ex-Exxillon at the age of 104. Death is a Z as they say, but hits for Bibliogryphon, Ladyfiona and diego to name but three, who all advance their positions except Ladyfiona still firmly ensconced at the top of the board. Bonuses: diego makes a pair of 2s for 10 additional points and with their existing pair of 8s gains a further 15 Points for two pairs. Perhaps gets yet another sub hit (ever thought of putting these guys in your main team?) and draws 6 Diamonds for 6 added points. Leaderboard updated and will be brought forward on the next hit.. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YoungWillz 21,208 Posted December 11 The Indians Are Going! Rocky Colavito has run for home and The Curse Of Rocky Colavito is complete. The baseball player was an actual hit for Perhaps, who slides without being caught into third place. If only those dead subs had been main team hits, eh? Leaderboard updated, no bonuses.

YoungWillz 21,208 Posted Tuesday at 22:35 Keegan - Nul Points! Yes, after a wait, the Sports Personality BBC website mentions Rupert Keegan's death, which shakes up the leaderboard somewhat. In fact several players gain a tasty 100 points as we hurtle towards the finishing line. Those having the One Formula with the Formula One guy were Great Uncle Bulgaria, Toast, wannamaker, MariNisia, gcreptile and Captain Chorizo. Some of them close in on a podium place, but the champagne bottles are not quite being popped yet! Bonus: Toast gains a pair of Queens for 10 additional points.

When this difficult pool started (my first Deathlist Poker Tournament), my aim was to win 500 points. Long life to the Sports Personality BBC website! 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YoungWillz 21,208 Posted 12 hours ago It's a Big Yellow Banana! Who knows much about NASCAR? Not me, let me tell you! Fred Lorenzen becomes another motor racer to leave life with dust in his wake. Brmm Brmm! Courtesy of a Mail Obit. So who exactly was the Casino's Fast Freddy? Well, turns out it was diego with an unique hit. Bonuses: Pair of 8s (Diamonds and Clubs) - 10 Points. Pair of 8s (Spades and Clubs) - 10 Points Two Pair 8s (Diamonds and Clubs) and 2s - 15 Points Two Pair 8s (Spades and Clubs) and 2s - 15 Points Three 8s - 20 Points Full House - three 8s and 2 2s - 80 Points. Total Bonus - 150 Points added to 100 Points for the hit. I hope Ladyfiona wasn't too comfortable, as diego consolidates second place and is only now 64 points behind her!
