Day 2 of the UFC KO Poker Series. The headlines today…
- Lex Veldhuis holds onto his Team Pro KO Challenge lead
- Experts confirm “It’s not a typo”: Spraggy closing in on second place
- DSmunichlife leads the overall standings
The Team Pro KO KOntest
With something like 20 events played the KO leader boards are starting to stretch out, and not just in the overall standings. But there is still room for surprises in the Team Pro KO race.
The standings based on Total KOs:
Lex Veldhuis: 32 (-)
Fintan Hand: 24 (+6)
Ben Spragg: 23 (+17)
Note: We spotted it too. We have double checked. Multiple times. The Spraggy figure is correct.
How things stand based on average KOs per event:
Fintan Hand: 4.8 (5 events played)
Lex Veldhuis: 4 (8 events played)
Ben Spragg: 3.3 (7 events played)
Finally, the standings if you count only odd-numbered events:
Lex Veldhuis: 14
Ben Spragg: 11
Fintan Hand: 4
Note: We may have just accidentally uncovered a winning strategy for the Spraggy campaign.
The people want answers.
The latest on who will win one of three UFC 241 packages
There’s a UFC 241 package to the winner of the overall KO contest (as well as two other packages to be awarded in All-In Shoot Outs).
Each package is made up of flights, hotel and two tickets to Anaheim, California, for a night to remember this August.
Here’s how things stand on Tuesday morning: DSmunichlife is out to a good lead.

Remember there are two other opportunities to win a UFC 241 package. And you don’t have to top the KO table to win.
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.
