NLHE Series – November 5, 2025

This month we played No Limit Hold’em 9 handed to continue the 2025 season of our NLHE Championship Series.

mbabker (Michael Babker) battled Stueyy13 (Stuart Kerridge) heads up after defeating the remaining field of 43 players to earn his first NLHE Championship Series title in 2025 (second lifetime). This makes 51 total lifetime wins in official Rec.Poker Home Games.

SpaceDustOne (James), bonecrusher14 (Marcel Dusyk), FeistyFlopper ([Private]), MrDzzz18 (Rich Dietz), Larsensopening (George Borden), dandresg (Daniel A), and 7high11 (John Crowell) rounded out the final table.

Stueyy13 (Stuart Kerridge) has taken the lead in the 2025 NLHE Championship Series Player of the Year points race. bonecrusher14 (Marcel Dusyk) has moved up to third place and Larsensopening (George Borden) has moved up to fifth place. Only the top 10 scores count toward the Player of the Year points race, so you can still compete even if you miss a couple of events.
