Home / News / UFC KO Poker Series: How things stand on Day 3

Day 3 of the UFC KO Poker Series. Today’s headlines…

  • Another 11 KOs for Veldhuis takes his total to 43
  • Hand takes day off – but still ahead of Spraggy
  • Confirmed: Spraggy cursed by alphabetical order

The Team Pro KO KOntest

Three days in and there’s daylight between Lex Veldhuis and the others. Meanwhile there’s 11 letters of the alphabet between Fintan Hand and Ben Spragg.

While Hand took yesterday off, Spraggy went hell for leather in Event 21. His total KOs for the day: 1

What effect did all this have on the leader board?

The standings based on Total KOs:

Lex Veldhuis: 43 (+11)

Fintan Hand: 24 (-)

Ben Spragg: 24 (+1)

How things stand based on average KOs per event:

Fintan Hand: 4.8 (5 played)

Lex Veldhuis: 3.9 (11 played)

Ben Spragg: 3 (8 played)

Finally, the standings if Ben Spragg’s name was actually Spen Bragg

Lex Veldhuis: 43 (+19)

Spen Bragg: 24 (+1)

Fintan Hand: 24 (-)

Will anything go Spraggy’s way? Would we say if it did?

Latest overall standings (with a UFC 241 package to the winner)

Remember there are three UFC 241 packages to be won during the UFC KO Poker Series.

Each package is made up of flights, hotel and two tickets to Anaheim, California, for a UFC night to remember this August.

One of those will go to the overall KO winner. Right now that’s dans170’.

How do you win one of the other two packages?

Simple.

Score three KOs this week in UFC KO Series events and you’ll win entry into a special All-In Shootout next week. The winner will be on their way to Anaheim.

A third package will be given away in another All-In Shootout. This time for players who then go on to KO a further three opponents.

That’s two chances to win and you only need three KOs. So that’s Spraggy and two more.
