With 28 points, Tony G is now guaranteed at least a playoff berth, and only the most bizarre sequence of events will deny him a top four spot.
Black has 23 points and is almost guaranteed to be in at least a playoff spot at the end of the week. He can seal the deal with two more points tomorrow, and he will clinch it if either Luske or Frazer fails to take first place in their heats.
Nobody has been eliminated yet, so there's still everything to play for tomorrow but without a big result, relegation looks imminent for Helppi and Hellmuth.
Tony G: 28/4
Andy Black: 23/4
Roland de Wolfe: 20/4
Eddy Scharf: 16/4
-------------------------------
Annie Duke: 15/4
Alex Kravchenko: 15/4
Vicky Coren: 11/4
Dave Ulliott: 9/4
-------------------------------
Ian Frazer: 7/4
Marcel Luske: 7/4
Phil Hellmuth: 5/4
Juha Helppi: 4/4
Join us from 12PM on Valentine's Day, when there will be two more heats in which some players could be mathematically eliminated.
Ace high is good and Tony G storms into a huge lead at the top of league standing.
Although Black will be disappointed with not winning the heat, he should feel better when he sees how he has consolidated his league position and is now well on his the way to making the grand final.
