211 hands · 8 entries · $400 pot · 2h 25m
A first title, and a skull to go with it. Thomas D. (spladow) won the tournament for $280, his first win at this table, and knocked out Hope Coin holder Nick M. at hand 83 for his first Hope Slayer skull. He led 143 of the 211 hands and personally knocked out four of the six players who busted, so he did not so much win the night as close it himself. Drew A. (MoHDI_Drew), runner-up back in April, returned to the field and took 5th.
Registration times tell their own small story. Chris G. signed up at 4:41pm, more than two hours before anyone else, and went out 4th. Thomas registered at 6:49pm, second to last, and won it.

Nobody completed three kills, so the Coin stays with Nick M. Chris G. and Thomas D. now hold one skull each. The Kevin Deuce has never been claimed by anyone.
Every stack, every hand, all 211 of them.
