Jim Murphy Racks Up Eight Winners on What was Otherwise a “Cushy” Saturday; Tom Cooper Earns Four Tournament Seats in Three Qualifiers (Weekend Recap January 31-February 2)
With NHC week now upon us, it’s no shock that eight final online spots and 24 Last Chance Tournament berths were awarded this past weekend. It was all part of a weekend that saw some excellent individual performances and (especially on Sunday) some fantastic finishes. The weekend winning got off to a quick start on Friday when a classic winner earned a spot at the place of his greatest triumph.
“Super” Weekend of 22 Featured Tourneys Includes First Chance at SA February Challenge, Second Chance at The BIG One and Last (Online) Chance for NHC
Confetti will be raining down not just on the Super Bowl winner, but on 22 of you this weekend as well…because that’s how many featured events we have going on here this Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Just like the Chiefs and 49ers, it’s an even matchup on paper between Friday/Saturday (11 features) and Sunday (also 11 features). If the Super Bowl comes down to a late field goal attempt, you’ll see a lot of praying going on. You can kind of think of these moments as Kick & Prays. Such prayers are sometimes answered (Vinatieri), sometimes not (Norwood). So it is with Pick & Prays as well, and we certainly have a lot of those going on this weekend. Let’s start with Friday.
$8 Pick Six Jackpot Approaching $5,000 Mark

Jim Trepinski Captures Second Consecutive Exacta Tourney; Ryan Flanders Scores Friday Hat Trick; Brendan Fay First to Qualify for The BIG One (Weekend Recap January 24-26)
When it’s a “live-format” weekend like last weekend was, the day most likely to provide notable individual performances is Friday…which is always reserved for Pick & Prays so some of you can keep your mind on your work. (Picking winners is nice, but those bi-weekly paychecks are sure things!) This, indeed, proved to be the case last Friday, courtesy of Ryan Flanders.

More Choice Coming to The BIG One; First 2020 Qualifier Set for This Sunday
The eighth annual edition of The BIG One will take place on Saturday and Sunday, September 19-20 at Laurel Park. There are a few changes that have been made to the 2020 event…but first, here’s what’s NOT changing.
Winning Days Twice as Nice for Gary Machiz, Paul Cush and Chuck LeFevre; Robert M. Moore and Wilson Anthony Each Pick Eight Monday Winners (Weekend Recap January 17-20)
A four-day, Pick & Pray holiday weekend afforded lots of opportunities for multi-tabling, and several players successfully did just that—including Gary Machiz, who wasted little time in setting the tone for the weekend.
