If Randy Romero fails to obit, let this be a salutary lesson to players not to pick people with first names that end with a "Y" and second names that end with an "O".

 

Remember Lindy Remigino?

 

If he does obit, there will be no pattern and no lesson learned. But I like the idea of it!

 

To think I just added Stanley Ho to my 20/20...

Funny.  I was thinking about Lindy R today and how it would be similar if Randy R failed to QO as well.  Didn't think of the letter correlation though.  That's higher level of thinking for you.

Fixed Business was the only player to see Jim Leavelle cuffed out the park. Moves up a few places.

 

No bonuses, leaderboard updated.

[YoungWillz 18,927]

Carlton the Casino Doorman just buzzed Valerie Harper's death through to the Poker Room.

 

Great Uncle Bulgaria hits and shuffles up a few places.

 

Fixed Business had her as a sub and draws 9 Spades for 9 Points added.

 

No bonuses, leaderboard updated.

[YoungWillz 18,927]

Bridgend Ravens Chairman Derrick King has joined the Male Welsh Voice Choir Invisibule.

 

gcreptile, Banana, Sir Creep and Captain Chorizo all hit.

 

Incredibly, no bonuses. Leaderboard updated.

[Sir Creep 7,011]

My team comes down to the duo combo of Gavin Robertson and Kane Tanaka, a VERY possible get.   

Would give me four 8s.  All your straights in the world would mean nowt.  My only path to victory, I await. 

 

[YoungWillz 18,927]

The drinks are coming round from the bar. I've decided to dust off and use the Bobby Mugs to serve them in, now Mugabe is dead.

 

A warm welcome to the tables and the leaderboard for Bibliogryphon. When Gooseberry Crumble will join the party, who knows? Now the sole player without a hit.

 

Anyway, a few players had the old Zimbabwean which means things tighten up at the bottom and the top of the leaderboard.

 

Bonus: Sir Creep hits A Clubs: 5 Additional Points.

 

Banana had Mugabe as a sub and gets lucky with the A Hearts - 14 Points added to the total there.

 

Leaderboard updated.

[YoungWillz 18,927]

Chris Duncan has struck out - a Cardinal error.

 

Grim Up North, Joey Russ and Skinny Kiltrunner all home run though.

 

Bonus: GUN hits a pair of Qs - 10 Additional Points.

 

Sir Creep had Duncan as a sub and draws J Spades - 11 Points added.

 

Leaderboard updated.

[YoungWillz 18,927]

Almost everyone was drinking Advocaat when they picked Ricksen, who has been taken off the field of play permanently. (Nobody had him as a sub!)

 

Turning to those bonuses:

 

YoungWillz hits a pair of 6s - 10 Additional Points

Torva Messor hits A Hearts - 5 Additional Points

Toast hits A Diamonds - 5 Additional Points

The Old Crem hits a pair of 2s - 10 Additional Points

Skinny Kiltrunner hits a pair of Js - 10 Additional Points

Sir Creep hits a straight 7, 8, 9, 10, J - with 8 Hearts - 30 Additional Points; with 8 Diamonds - 30 Additional Points. Total: 60 Additional Points.

 

With Sir Creep's bonuses, he slips up the wing into near contention, but with the top players all picking Fernando, little other change at the top.

 

Leaderboard updated.

[YoungWillz 18,927]

Oh and a special mention to @Gooseberry Crumble who has his first hit and is welcomed to the leaderboard!

 

Everyone is playing at last!

gcreptile has a unique with naughty Marieke (will anyone get this reference?). Gustav Gerneth has not yet obtained a QO so we'll keep a look out.

 

Bonuses: gcreptile hits 7 Clubs so:

 

Pair 7s (with Spades) - 10 Points

Pair 7s (with Hearts) - 10 Points

Two Pair 7s (with Spades) and 9s - 15 Points

Two Pair 7s (with Hearts) and 9s - 15 Points

Two Pair 7s (with Spades) and Js - 15 Points

Two Pair 7s (with Hearts) and Js 15 Points

Three of a Kind (7s) - 20 Points

Full House (7s over 9s) - 80 Points

Full House (7s over Js) - 80 Points

 

That gives a massive bonus (largest ever I believe) of 260 Additional Points.

 

Accordingly, that means gcreptile takes the lead for the moment.

What a welcome surprise!

Especially after that Tony Mills non-obit.

[Grim Up North 3,565]

Wow! Who would have thought drawing an innocuous card like 7 of clubs could be so beneficial.
