New Leaders Emerge in a Thrilling Night at The Mayfield Tavern

What a night of poker it was this past Tuesday at The Mayfield Tavern, as many of the league’s stalwarts found themselves eclipsed by a new set of league leaders. With 16 Mavericks eager to shake things up, it turned out to be a night to remember.

From the very beginning, it was clear that the usual frontrunners were in for a tough evening. Amanda Dudeck set the pace by winning the first game and followed up with a solid performance in game two, putting herself in the driver’s seat with one game remaining. Close behind her were George Pethers and Lewis Iler, both ready to seize any opportunity should Amanda falter.

As often happens in the unpredictable world of poker, Amanda stumbled, going out early in the final game. This misstep left the door wide open. However, Pethers couldn't take advantage and was the next to be eliminated. In a surprising turn of events, dark horse Steve Hertson delivered a stellar performance in game three, securing the win and finishing the night in first place overall.

Amanda Dudeck managed to hold on to second place, while George Pethers claimed third after a tiebreaker. The evening's results shook up the overall league standings, with Steve Hertson shooting to the top of the season's leaderboard. Rick Hoag, Mike Baker, and Amanda Dudeck rounded out the top four.

Mark your calendars for May 21st, the final poker night for May. The following week, the league will be heading to Las Vegas for the Free Poker Network's "Step in the Ring" tournaments, promising even more excitement and fierce competition. Stay tuned for more high-stakes action and the ever-evolving leaderboard at The Mayfield Tavern.
