Well done to yyyy on being the only player to score a full houseWink - only the third time this season a Round 3 full house has been achieved after mine and mouse trap's all in score in Cincinnati, 3 from 113 round 3 entries.

Mixed emotions for our final Masters 1000 winner of the season mouse trap, whose last gasp tie-breaking victory over long standing nemesis smb360, provides some consolation after falling just short in the overall standings. Despite AyersRocks gallant attempt to force a final day shootout between the top pair at the top of the Circuit LeaderboardLaugh, the shrewd 2 time winner stuck to his guns and carved his own path to Paris victory instead! The mouse picks up his second title of year following on from Madrid and signs of the season in some style. Congrats on winning the 9TH and final 1000 event of 2013.Happy

In the Runners-Up spot this week is smb360, who now knows how milla445 felt in Montreal after losing out in his 2nd tie-break finish scenario of the year, yet again Mr 360 finishes another tournament with the highest amount of corrects picks, however, the Quarter Final pick of Del Potro eventually proved to be his undoing in Paris as the old GOAT pulled of his first top 5 win of the year, thus allowing the mouse to sneak back into contention and take the title from within his grasp. smb can console himself during the off-season with his hat-trick of titles and 2013 1000 Masters crown, well doneWink

A solid 3rd place effort form relative newbie, wisewords, who in his fourth attempt breaks into the top 3 for the first time after debuting in back in Montreal. Again, despite the ever mischievous Ayers predicting a wooden spoon award for the podium finisherMischief, Mr words made the Rock eat his own words.  It could have been an even better week for WW if he had picked favourite WaWa over Almagro in R3 to finish 2 points ahead rather than 2 behind, hindsight is a man’s best friend, well done on your highest finish to date.Cool
