Ilari Sahamis and socutiesf engaged in significant heads-up and 6-max $100/200 PLO games in late September. Ilari Sahamis won a notable pot against socutiesf in a $100/$200 Pot Limit Omaha Hi game, showcasing his aggressive playing style. However, their interactions were not always smooth; after a losing hand, Ilari declared he would no longer play with socutiesf, leading to a heated exchange.

In October, the dynamics shifted as Ilari Sahamis and socutiesf engaged in friendly banter and flipping games. Ilari won two consecutive flips, each worth $9,396 and $8,000, respectively. Despite the friendly interactions, socutiesf experienced a significant downswing starting from October 20, losing $392,081 over two days. His main opponent during this period was Terje 'Terken89' Ogdahl, who won $235,028 over the same two days. Ilari Sahamis, on the other hand, continued his winning streak, playing 6,392 hands and winning $762,400. He even tried his hand at 8-game $400/800, questioning the rules of Razz during a game, which led to a humorous exchange with other players. Meanwhile, Jared Bleznick moved to Mexico in late September, discussing his financial struggles with theking10000.
