After Event #43 we have a new Fantasy Poker leader...

With 43 Events gone we have a new leader of Fantasy Poker; but it’s still close enough for things to change in the final week before the Main Event at the Rio.

Erik Seidel's 4th place finish in Event #43 ($1,500 PLO w/re-buys) has propelled Greg ‘marshall_gj’ Marshall into the chip lead with 135 points, whereas Paul ‘lionel hutz’ Spillane could only muster 2 extra points with Chris Ferguson’s cash. ‘wierdrash’, Kevin ‘CanadaKev’ Malarek, John ‘RampantLion’ Grout & ‘ryanaw’ are all still in touch, however.

The current leaderboard is as follows:

1. Greg 'marshall_gj' Marshall - 135
2. Paul 'lionel hutz' Spillane - 130
3. weirdrash – 125
4. Kevin 'CanadaKav' Malarek - 123
5 = John 'RampantLion' Grout - 116
5 = ryanaw – 116

Team PV Fantasy Table
