  1. Way to go @yamel and also @Binkley on the win, I was lurking in the lobby after I busted to see how my own spot in the rankings would finish – @JonLutsey you were so close man! Great run.

    Out of 160 players it’s awesome to see 5 of the regular panelists in the top 8 players of the year – and 3 in the top four! Congrats @FiveByFive @rabman50 @TaylorMaas @PokerGeekMN – in that order.

    Thanks for so much great poker in the monthly NLHE series RecPoker Nation! And of course John Somsky who makes it all go so smoothly – hardly any asterisks at all! Can’t wait for the 2020 Champion to join Yamel on the podium in a couple weeks!
