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 #01: Hoffman almost goes wire-to-wire.

Hoffman outlasts a 17 player field to take down Event #01 of the 2023 World Series of Gundam (WSOG). He started fast out-of-the-gate getting the Fast Break Bonus, and nearly kept the chip lead throughout the tournament eventually finishing off SudduthM in a long heads-up battle. MeiresonneB took third while the all-time bracelet leader, McClaryT, finished 4th. WellmanE grinded his card-dead hands from 14th to 5th, earning the Chip & Chair bonus and the bubble. Next tournament Hoffman will be a target with the Bounty Bonus coming into play.

WSOG Champion is Crowned: S.Braswell holds onto 1st place to become the 2022 WSOG Champion.

2022 WSOG Championship Mug, Hat & Necklace awarded to Scott Braswell for out performing a field of 26 players over the course of 12 WSOG events.

After a brutal start to the tournament, where it looked like M.Braswell was going to overtake his father (S.Braswell) for the year long WSOG Championship victory, Scott fought back, climbing from 20th place to finish in 7th which was enough to secure 143 points (5 more points than 2nd place) and win the 2022 WSOG Championship. Decker’s strong 1st place finish in the Main Event (2nd consecutive Main Event victory) took him from 5th place to tied-for-second with M.Sudduth (who went from 4th to tied-for-second). Both M.Braswell and D.Shull dropped a few places, with M.Braswell falling from 2nd to 4th and D.Shull falling from 3rd to 5th.

Decker wins his 2nd Main Event victory in a record breaking field of 22 players! This year’s Main Event was huge, starting with 3 tables. AndreaW. played strong throughout the tournament finishing in 2nd place, while C.Dorsen brutalized players on his way to 3rd place. M.Sudduth wielded his short stack just previous to the bubble bursting to fight his way to 4th place. In a very impressive come-back, LeviC, got hit hard during the first few minutes of the tournament running into Sudduth’s straight flush (but making a very good fold.) But he fought back strong getting the Chip&Chair bonus by going from 18th place (in 3rd round) to finishing in 5th place.

WSOG #11: L. Dang wins his first major event in the coveted Mixed Game.

Hoffman, who got to a fast start and held the chip lead most of the game (earning the fast-break bonus) was eventually over taken by L. Dang about when the bubble-burst. Dang catapulted from the bottom half, to chip leader, earning him the chip&chair bonus along with the victory. Once again, Jean (aka ‘the assassin’) took out S. Braswell early on to earn the bounty bonus.

It was an exciting event, where S. Braswell took a lethal hit early in the tournament, allowing M. Braswell to close the Gundam Point gap to 5 points. The top 4 places remain extremely dynamic. Even though the top 4 spots did not change their positions, the points separating the positions has compressed, and with the Main Event doubling all points, when the dust clears it is hard to say who will end up on top.

WSOG #08: Jean S. takes 1st and collects 7 of 9 bounties at the final table.

The 16 player WSOG Event #08 (No-Limit Hold’em with bounty) started with Cody L. taking out the first 3 players and jumping to a quick lead. While Cody ended up in the money (4th), it was the strong finish (going from 15th to 1st place) of Jean S. that resulted in a bracelet being shipped to Texas. Jean ultimately took down Doug S., who had a strong 2nd place finish (and is now 2nd in overall Gundam points.) Scott B. continues to finish strong in tournaments with a 3rd place finish as he received the Fast-Break Bonus. Jean collected the Bounty Bonus by knocking out Scott.

Gundam Standings: The strong finish of Scott B., leaves him with a comfortable 20 points lead (but there is still a lot of poker left to be played.) Doug S. leap-frogged two positions and is now 2nd place in the standings. Mark S. took a hit by being the first one out, dropping to 4th, while Matt B. is keeps his 3rd place spot.

Rico wins the 1st WSOG Event of the year and is the current Gundam Point leader with a Bounty on his head!

<< Click here to see the 2022 WSOG Results >>

It was a great turnout for the first 2022 WSOG Event, with 14 players. Rico, who often put immense pressure on people after the flop, battled his way into the money, then eventually pulled into 1st place and then never gave it up.
Just after finishing Deckhole off (3rd), Rico shortly snuffs out S.Braswell (2nd) and took down the first 2022 WSOG Event! Andrea (laserlips) placed 4th, while Gary was crowned the Bubble Boy (5th).

McClary is Crowned 2021 WSOG Champion, while Decker wins WSOG Main Event with his unbelievable suck-out skills!

<< CLICK HERE : For full summary of WSOG Main Event & Key Hands !!! >>

McClary’s large lead going into the 2021 Main Event cannot be overcome as he will now take control over the WSOG Championship Necklace, win the 2021 WSOG Mug and collect the $135.70 1st place prize-pool. However, Sudduth’s 2nd place finish in the Main Event catapulted him into 2nd place ($70.80) in the 2021 WSOG, over taking Meyer’s who finished 3rd ($29.50) in the year long series.

Quads for the cherry on top, as Decker wins the Main Event besting a 14 player field including Sudduth (2nd), Hoffman (3rd) and Berg (4th) with Streu as the Bubble-Boy
