It’s not too late to take part in the $10,000 PokerStars PokerNews League!

The first heads-up event of the $10,000 PokerStars PokerNews League was played last week and ”kanabal18” proved too good for the competition, taking down all the cash and 21 league points.

”Kanabal18” rocketed into the top 10, it is still ”GioPn” who sits atop the leader board, with five more points than ”srtft” who sits in second place after a strong finish in last week’s league event.

$10,000 PokerNews League Leaderboard

As you can see, there are less than 10 points between the top five players and less than one victory between the whole top 10, so it really isn’t too late to start playing the $10,000 PokerStars PokerNews League.
