Another packed night at Project Barley Redondo Beach, and Tipsy Dick (012) came out on top with 96 points, pulling away late and sealing it with a confident final wager. Not flashy early, but once they hit their stride, no one was catching them.

 

Right behind them, But Did Not Double (025) lived dangerously all night and somehow made it work, finishing at 94. A name that sounds like regret, but a score that says zero apologies.

 

NeverNudes (121) were steady, efficient, and quietly lethal, landing in third with 92. No overreactions, no panic,  just consistent pressure from start to finish.

 

Wise Guys (82) weren’t far off at 90, hanging around the podium all night before just missing the jump late. Still, a strong showing that keeps them firmly in the conversation.

 

Mid-table chaos belonged to Freight Minds Drink Alike (057) and Player 456 (136), who both had moments of brilliance followed immediately by moments they’d like to blame on the lighting. Freight Minds recovered better, finishing at 76, while Player 456 clawed back to 69 after a rough patch.

 

Jay Z’s Escape Plan and The Extended Royale Universe (015) kept things competitive but inconsistent, while Hermosa Hillbillies (084) looked dangerous early before slowly drifting out of striking distance.

 

And then there was Smelly Cat (008)... proof that one truly disastrous round can undo a whole night’s worth of effort. Please call 1-(800) Gambler!

 

Solid crowd, tight race at the top, and enough drama to keep everyone honest. Same time, next week.
