US hip-hop group De La Soul believed that three was the magic number. However, it isn't always a welcome digit. You've heard them before; three's a crowd, the third wheel, the third party, etc.
For the past two weeks, Dave 'TopMossley' Hulmes has probably been cursing the number himself while lying in bed at night. The Yellow Belt finished third in Legs 3 and 4, and I was beginning to wonder whether he'd achieve a hat-trick by doing the same this week. The thought may have crossed his mind, but then... he went against the grain.
On Tuesday night, the Yellow Belt pocketed $100 and 75 points after besting a field of 50 players to claim Leg 5. The win has also propelled Dave into the top 20 where he currently sits 13th with 242 points.
No prizes for guessing who followed. Yes, it's him again. Tom 'Werrrrd' Drew continued his extraordinary run of good form in League X by claiming second place for $62.50 and 67 points. The Blue Belt is now perched at the top of the overall standings with a total of 366 points!
Last week, Andy 'BoatDrink' Butcher finished second. This week, he fell one place short by coming third. The Yellow Belt received $40, 63 points, and is now in 9th place with 248 points.

After Leg 5, Tom 'Werrrrd' Drew has now regained top spot from Mark 'russellhansen' Brassington, who could only muster a 22nd place finish this week. The Yellow Belt, who won Leg 1, picked up 29 points and is in second place with 333 points.
Third place remains the same. Yellow Belt and Leg 2 winner ZoeRiZZ0 was unable to improve on her 30th place finish last week, but still holds her position in the standings. She finished 35th, picking up 16 points. She now has a total of 291 points.

There are still three legs to go in League X and everything to play for. The winner will be taken to a secret location where they'll get to live out their own scripted poker fantasy alongside Black Belts Neil Channing, Richard Ashby and Sam Razavi.
It may appear as though Blue Belt Tom Drew is starting to pull away from the pack, but he isn't unreachable. Who knows, anything could happen. Join us again next week for Leg 6, same time (7.30pm), same buy-in ($5+0.50), same place... only on Black Belt Poker!
