MLB teams were volatile after all stars break so automatically it was pretty hard round for contestants. Profits are noticeably smaller than usually however like always some players hit big pot. Round 9 definitely belongs to Rick(cherrytwister), Kyle(kylenaga) and Mikhail(auramedia). Of course nobody is more happy at the moment than Tan(tanc89) who strengthened his leading position.
We already closed third stage in the contest and finish line is getting closer and closer. That means players were awarded with third part of bonuses and there is only one more bonus part remains. With three more rounds to go there is no more space for mistakes now!
Round 9 recap gives also a room for another bankrolls reset. All bankrolls after round 9 below 10000$ level (excluding bonuses) were set again to starting position. Again all contenders have chance to catch the leader! Have fun and keep pushing! Only three more rounds to go!

TOP 10 PLAYERS IN THE ROUND 9

1 Rick(cherrytwister) $894 – Rick simple swept this round and stage 3! Mr Twister made a powerful charge in round 9 and his profit was limited only by rules because for calculations I can take odds 2.5 as a maximum. Anyway Rick stills blows rivals in stage 3 making $1122 of profit! Well done buddy! It’s very good position now before last 3 rounds. Keep pushing!

2 Kyle(kylenaga) $696 – Kyle is second power in the contest right now. He is 2nd in the main rank, finished 2nd in stage 3 and made 2nd best result in round 9. It gives fantastic promotion in the ranking, Kyle moved by 8 positions up and chasing only Tan(tanc89) at the moment! Congrats!

3 Mikhail(auramedia) $642 – Mikhail noted another fantastic round, but he can’t stabilize performance on high level in this contest edition. He plays very smart and collected bonuses in two of three stages, but distance to the leader is getting bigger so it’s a time for final charge probably. No more units to waste! Go Mikhail!

4 Cyril(cyril) $387 – Cyril shows outstanding efforts in this edition, but Stamos and Mike Admin are lurking just off the back so mini contest between most experienced Zcoders is still very open. Mike’s chances look very poor with no Portugal team on the board anymore, but Stamos is very very close and will attack Cyril’s position for sure!

5 Francois(francois.marc.verdier) $280 – Francois is back in the game after short break in round 8 and with live 5 picks winning streak he is among only few guys in the contest who can still beat Geoffrey’s longest winning streak. In round 9 Francois solidly repaired his bankroll with 3 winning calls and 5th best result in this round equal 280$. Congratulations!

6 Tan(tanc89) $273

7 Stomach(stamos) $186

8 Edis(edis.sejfula) $120

9 Craig(dmears7) $51

10 Jiong(snowman1818) $51

TOP 10 PLAYERS IN THE MAIN CONTEST AFTER ROUND 9

1 Tan(tanc89) 0 $12 496 – I’m loving Tan’s style! He repeats it in almost every round! He steps on the narrow line, but moves forward and definitely is getting closer to the objective. Round 9 Tan started again with a push and then with second pick he pulled a profit by winning his call just by 1 run! Again perfectly aimed shot makes Tan’s bankroll bigger! Congratulations!

2 Kyle(kylenaga) +8 $12 067 – Kyle is second power in the contest right now. He is 2nd in the main rank, finished 2nd in stage 3 and made 2nd best result in round 9. It gives fantastic promotion in the ranking, Kyle moved by 8 positions up and chasing only Tan(tanc89) at the moment! Congrats!

3 Jan(jan.maack) -1 $11 920 – oh boy! Dark clouds came to Jan… Fantastic rebuild with 3rd pick saved his bankroll, but the worse thing for Jan is that he missed bonus for only 7$! Very unlucky circumstances for Jan, but still nothing is lost yet! I am sure Jan is able to recover 5 units loss to the leader very fast and it will make this contest only more exciting! Come on Jan! You can do it!

4 Edis(edis.sejfula) 0 $11 846 – damn! Sixth mixed round in a row for Edis! Every time in last 6 rounds he got one wining pick with high odds and one losing pick which wasted most of the profit. With only one more perfect round Edis would be just behind Tan probably, but still Edis notices fantastic results and qualified for a bonus in every stage! Keep pushing Edis! I wish double wins in next rounds! Good luck!

5 Michal(michal) 0 $11 704 – Michal took a one round break due to All-stars break in MLB. You never know how teams will react after this event. Most important was also qualifications for bonus in stage 3, but now there is more space for breaks or tactical elements. All or nothing time arrived!

6 Rider(mbtrilla) -3 $11 541

7 Rick(cherrytwister) +18 $11 453

8 Scotty(moff8616) +4 $11 305

9 Randy(rb85) 0 $11 124

10 Edward(ekuhnjr) +1 $11 115
