Once again I was sick. I dunno if I just come down with something every 11 weeks or if it was just coincidence. Anyway, I was out early and went home so I don’t have a lot of commentary on the night.

Here was the order to my knowledge:

• 1st - Bryan
• 2nd - Jared
• 3rd - George
• 4th - Joel
• 5th - Tyler
• 6th - Al
• 7th - Mike
• 8th - Peever

I also have to say I really liked the way the final chip stacks added up. Everyone was close but there was still a significant spread between first and last. Not 10 to 1 like last year but significant. The fact that the top 3 finishers were not from the top of the point system means that anyone can win the final table and the advantage doesn’t favor one person. There is still an advantage to finishing first but it’s not so favorable that they are pretty much guaranteed a win at the final table. This format worked much better and proved to be far less controversial.

Season X is around the corner and I just want to get a feel for when to start. Anything works for me but I know everyone has some things going on over the summer so I want a little feedback. Also, if you have any opinions that aren’t DOUCHE comments, feel free to comment below and I will take them into consideration.
