WSOG ’23 Event #08: T.McClary wins his 2nd bracelet of the year and closes the gap in the Gundam Championship race

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 #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.

WSOG ’23 Event #02: McClary battles a tough field to take PLO bracelet.

McClary took on a tough 15 player field. While the younger Braswell got off to a fast start (earning the Fast-Break Bonus) quadrupling his stack, the field battled on, with 8 players going late into the rounds. Dang poured it on towards the end taking second and earning the Chip & Chair Bonus by moving up 9 spots to finish 2nd in the event. Brasswell finished 3rd, while Sudduth (who finished strong in Event #01) took 4th. Cake ended up bubbling, and the entire field played some good Omaha.

The World Series of Gundam Championship run heats up as two players separate themselves from the field, T.McClary & M.Sudduth, by having finished strong in the first two events. However, the peloton remains compact, with 3rd place and 13th place only separated by 8 pts (less than 2nd to 3rd). With so many events remaining the Championship is still up for grabs.

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 #10: M. Braswell closes the lead on S. Braswell by winning the Badugi Event and collects his 3rd bracelet.

For the first time in 4 months Matt put an end to the other Braswell (Scott) increasing his first place lead, closing the 2nd place gap by 10 pts. With the Mixed-Game and double-point Main event to come, 2nd thru 4th place have the ability catch Scott if he falters while they take a top spot. Eric W. came out of retirement to take 2nd place and continues his free-rolling streak beyond the 2-year mark. Berg goes beyond the bubble for a nice 3rd place cash.
