Congratulations go out to Gene aka crossfade37 (@crossfade41 on twitter) for winning last nights Twitter Poker Tour and collecting 108.79 leaderboard points to go along with a $58 cash. Gene battled through a field of 40 to claim the top spot and found himself in 3rd place in the August Leaderboard despite having missed Event #1, good work!

The holder of the top spot currently, O_STFU, found an early exit last night picking up just 17.89 points. But that was enough to maintain a slim 7 point lead over JosephShowdown with 2 more events to go in August.

We turn our attention now to Event #3 which is coming up next Thursday August 19th at  9PM ET (event ID: 178043148 | password: tptpoker)
