WSOG ’23 Event #11 3-Game Mix: M.Sudduth piles up more Gundam Points with a WSOG victory.

It was the second (maybe third) WSOG event where M.Sudduth found himself short-stacked early (this time getting the chip-n-chair bonus) and bailed out with double-ups from big bluffs or weaker hands piling into his monsters (though, no call is easy when your tournament life is at risk.) The assassin (aka J.Sudduth) started heads-up with a dominate chip-lead but couldn’t quite get her kill shot stabilized allowing her spawn to crawl into first and stay there and collect his own bounty. Streu ended up in 3rd place while S.Braswell was in 4th. Sumner got off to an early start earning the fast-break bonus.

WSOG ’23 Event #09: Jean (the assassin) takes out the Gundam Point Leader and then wins the PLO8 event

It was an epic battle, with Decker blasting away 3 buy-ins and Jean taking out the Gundam Point Leader pretty early in the tournament. The Gundam Point Leader, M.Sudduth, got off to a quick start earning the Fast-Break-Bonus, however, shortly after that he ended up getting waxed by his own mother (aka ‘the assassin’) who picked up the bounty bonus and ended up with the victory as well.
Meanwhile, S.Brawell battled with a short-stack long enough to pick-up the Chip-N-Chair Bonus. Towards the end it looked like Meiresonne was going to dominate, but T.McClary soon took charge and the chip lead, until late in the game when J.Sudduth and B.Meiresonne took some big pots from McClary. He eventually fell to Jean, who finally managed to NOT split a few pots with him, earning her another WSOG Bracelet.

McClary started off rough, but managed to fight back by knocking out the current Gundam point leader (M. Sudduth) and the 2nd place point leader (M. Braswell, who finished 2nd in the tournament). Rico P. dropped in and played strong the entire night but slipped to 3rd before getting knocked out. The other Braswell (Scott), finished fourth while the current Gundam point leader, M. Sudduth bubbled. Meanwhile, M. Decker maxed out the 3-rebuy limit and didn’t even cash.

WSOG ’23 Event #07: D.Shull wins the coveted Badugi tourney and is awarded his first WSOG bracelet

Shull fights his way through the field knocking out M.Sudduth (3rd) for the bounty and ending up heads-up against an equally deep stacked S.Brawell (2nd). While Shull got off to a fast start, it still wasn’t fast enough to topple the Fast-Break maestro, M.Braswell (4th) who, for the fifth-time, won the fast-break bonus. Shull closes the gap between 4th & 3rd, separating himself from the peloton joining the three Gundam point leaders McClary (3rd), Braswell (2nd) and M.Sudduth (1st).

WSOG ’23 Event #06: J.McGuire, an original Gundam-Gansta, wins the PLO Bounty Event

McGuire, an OG, knocked-out 5 players, collecting 6 bounties and a victory in the WSOG Pot-Limit Omaha Bounty Event. Amazingly, the top 3-spots were held by Micks (Mc’s). McIntosh almost went wire-to-wire with his fast-break bonus, however, when it came to heads-up, McGuire (who received the chip-n-chair bonus) pulled ahead and eventually applied the final blow McIntosh. McClary, a strong Gundam Championship contender finished 3rd, while the current Gundam point leader, SudduthM, finished in 4th place. The bubble-boy was Shull who remains in the front of the peloton (also 4th place) in the Gundam Championship race.

WSOG ’23 Event #04: Godel (spawn of the ‘the assassin’) takes out 6 players to win the No-Limit Bounty Event

Godel, taking after his mom, Jean-the-assassin, not only takes 1st place for his first WSOG bracelet of the year, but also racks up a 6 player bounty count. Though he didn’t take-out McClary for the bounty point, as that was accomplished by D-Ray on his way to 2nd place (and receiving the Chip-n-Chair bonus). Third place was MeyerJ, who scrapped his way back after having his aces cracked. Hoffman finished in the money (4th). In a surprised turn-of-events, the bubble-by, McIntoshP, received a generous bubble-boy bonus of $25 from Gary Berg.

The Gundam Point Leader changed hands from McClaryT to SudduthM (Godel), tightening up 1st/2nd place (now McClary) with 3rd (BraswellM & HoffmanM) thru 4th (ShullD) close behind.

WSOG ’23 Event #03: McIntosh snipes ‘the assassin’ to win his first bracelet (Razz.)

McIntosh grabs his first WSOG bracelet in after playing in just 3 WSOG Events. He plowed through the Razz field finally getting the best of Jean ‘the assassin’ Sudduth, who not only went into heads-up with a significant stack lead, but also sniped McClary for the Bounty Bonus. It went back and forth with P.McIntosh taking the final kill-shot on ‘the assassin’. Shull cashed in 3rd, while McClary took both the Bubble Bonus and the Chip-N-Chair bonus, keeping his substantial Gundam Point lead. M.Braswell got off to a strong start earning the Fast Break Bonus.

The World Series of Gundam Championship continues to be dominated by T.McClary & M.Sudduth. However, with McClary’s stronger finish in Razz he puts some distance (7 pts) ahead of M.Sudduth who is 10 pts ahead of the peloton. The peloton continues to remain compressed, with 3rd place and 11th place only separated by 8 pts (less than 2nd to 3rd). P.McIntosh jumps into the peloton fray with his victory.
