Domination by the community team continues! While they dominated last week's results, this week 5 out 6 community team members managed to get ITM.  Together they had an incredible average finish of 722, and a total of $99 in winnings.  The second best team, and best ranked team was once more Team SoyCD.  Once again it was Veriz that brought home the medals, this time all 3 of them.

The main winner of the evening was the community team with 5 out of 6 players managing to get ITM. Furthest player was plaukas with a 93rd place finish.  But also, urmo1(205th), QcJunior (367th), sirilidion (452nd), and swissmoumout(755th) managed good finishes.

Team SoyCD which took an early blow when Chopsticks43's aces lost against queens in the first hands, managed to get 2 players ITM. The hero from last week, Veriz finished 370th and SoyCD himself, with a 573rd place. The third ranked player to get ITM was Team Tribun's andyb43, who finished 527th.

In terms of average finish, Team SoyCD (1661) managed to grab the gold before the Mod Squad (1801), along with the gold medals for the most money ($26.77) and the furthest member.

Since this week's finishes were mostly by unstaked players, the prize pool has barely grown.  Its has however passed the critical $300 mark - meaning the end of the season is drawing close.
