Month two in the Battle of the Blogger Tournaments 4 is in the books and things have become interesting. 38 tournaments have been played and we picked up our first players to double up in wins. Blogger heffmike was the first player to notch his second win in the challenge, effectively shrinking the field in the Tournament of Champions. Frequent Poker From the Rail guest poster TuscaloosaJohn grabbed his second win in the Blogger Big Game and bringing his BBT4 money count up to near $1,800.
Just one more month remains before we award two Main Event seats in the 2009 World Series of Poker and two WSOP preliminary seats. In addition to his Blogger Big Game win, TuscaloosaJohn also locked up Player of the Month honors and grabbed himself a Bracelet Race package.
The biggest surprise has to be the chip spewing donkey who won the last tournament of the month. That would be your humble author. I have no idea how I managed to take down The Mookie on Wednesday other than pure lemur luck. I am one of the lucky few to get a seat in the ToC. Joining this big group of players is also blogger legend DrPauly who booked his ToC appearance with a win in the Mookie the week before. Old school bloggers are throwing down the gauntlet.
After the jump you can find some other highlights as well as the complete list of players qualified for the challenge-ending tournament.
