POKER PREMIER LEAGUE: ROUND THREE
The dynamics of the inaugural Poker League shifted dramatically as John Byrne won his home round in a fascinating game to collect an invaluable twelve points and move to the top of the table.
Ed Godfrey and Charlie de Wirtz went out seventh and sixth respectively despite both establishing slight early chip advantages, leaving them level on six points apiece.
In what was by far the longest League game to date, Steve Botting went out next following lengthy chip exchanges, leaving the four highest-placed players in the League to battle it out, each knowing that a win would send them top.
Brett Levett, who took de Wirtz out for the second round in a row, looked set for at least another top-three finish but lost out dramatically to Stanley's runner-runner threes to finish fourth.
Christina Botting's impressive form continued as she bagged third place and another four points, leaving her level with Levett on 13 points.
Byrne's Heads-Up win over Stanley made him the first player to avail himself of the bonus points on offer for players who finish in the top three in their home round. The result continued his superb League form and leaves him on 20 points, three ahead of Simon Stanley.
The next round is at The Square on May 14, with pressure on de Wirtz, Godfrey and Steve Botting to start delivering or kiss their Title aspirations goodbye.
