Canterberry Poker League · Tournament #44
Six Knockouts, and Skippy Loses Again
Scott Dishong took out more than a third of the field and finished second for the second time in three tournaments.
Fifteen players went home and Scott Dishong sent six of them — and finished second. Lee Ugarte won it with three, after four hours and thirty-eight minutes and an eight-minute heads-up match, for $145.
It is Lee’s fifth league win and his first in eight months.
Skippy takes $75. Three league tournaments played, two cashes, a win and a runner-up — and on Friday he put out all three of the men who finished behind him in the money.
Duane Barone was third for $45, his first cash since winning in February 2011. David Doole took fourth and $30, and Mike Conner completed the money in fifth for $25.

The undercard
Steve McLean bubbled in sixth. Tom Buzbee was the first player out after two hours and six minutes, a month on from his runner-up finish in August.
The bigger picture
Four tournaments, four different winners, and nobody has won twice. Warren Mervin keeps the lead on 51 points, six clear of David Doole.
Skippy sits fifth on 33 from three appearances — one fewer than the four men above him.
