As the Mavericks head into the final month of the Free Poker Network's Dash-for-Cash Promo, the league standings couldn't be tighter. With a double points night looming on September 24th, anyone in the top ten has a legitimate shot at claiming the league championship, making every game from here on out crucial.

On a special night that drew 17 players to the tables, the atmosphere was charged with excitement. Players donned their favorite sports team gear, each earning a bonus 500 chip to use in the game of their choice, setting the stage for an intense evening of competition.

Game one kicked off with Cliff Jones and Mike Swaim taking charge, winning their respective tables and securing an early lead. But the night was far from over. In game two, Steve Herston and James Ramsey made their presence felt, winning their tables and positioning themselves as serious contenders heading into the third and final game.

As the points were tallied heading into the final game, Amber Soper emerged as the frontrunner, thanks to two strong second-place finishes. However, with six players within just three points of the lead, the outcome was still anyone’s guess.

The final game saw early exits for Scott Sutter and Steve Herston, dashing their hopes for the night. Cliff Jones battled hard but was the next to fall, followed by Amber Soper, whose exit left the door open for Lewis Iler and Amanda Dudeck to make a move.

As Iler secured a third-place finish at his table, all eyes turned to the showdown between Amanda Dudeck and Candace Sutter. When the dust settled and the points were counted, Amanda Dudeck had narrowly edged out Amber Soper by just one point to claim the nightly win. Amber finished a close second, with Lewis Iler taking third by a tiebreaker.

The dramatic night shook up the season standings. Lewis Iler now holds a slim lead over Steve Herston, with Amber Soper and Scott Sutter close behind. With double points on the line in the upcoming games, the race for the championship is far from decided.

The Mavericks have set the stage for a thrilling conclusion to the season. With everything on the line, the next few games promise to deliver excitement, strategy, and plenty of action. Until then, Mavericks, we’ll see you on the felts!
