As we charge into the third week in August the competitors for 200NL badge are starting to narrow. PakWaan is currently sitting pretty with a huge lead, putting up a monstrous 1/2NL month.

Accumulating $21,285 in 80k hands, PakWaan is nearly $8,000 ahead of his closest competitor. Despite playing a LAG style, PakWaan has had very consistent results in the mid stakes games on IPoker. If he can hold out for just one more week, he will be able to add a UGL badge to his already impressive PTR stats.
Ultimate $2/$4 NL Grinders 
| Player | Site | Net | Hands | BB/100 |
| didisaycall | Full Tilt | $24,039 | 13,756 | 21.84 |

| Ch0c0lateMaN | iPoker | $15,166 | 17,240 | 11 |
Atop the 400NL leader board is didisaycall of Full Tilt Poker. After some unsuccessful 25/50NL sessions earlier this year didisaycall appears to be slowly grinding back his losses and rapidly approaching positive lifetime earnings. He has a large lead over the field, but there are some 2/4NL legends like Gogol’s Nose and GUIGUI_88 who could quickly overtake him before month’s end.
Ultimate $3/$6 NL Grinders 
| Player | Site | Net | Hands | BB/100 |
| Klairic | Poker Stars | $34,195 | 58,840 | 4.84 |
| davistabuff9 | Full Tilt | $31,686 | 33,078 | 7.98 |

| xbangbang07x | Poker Stars | $21,181 | 34,714 | 5.08 |
Leading the way at 3/6NL this month is Klairic of Pokerstars. Playing almost exclusively full ring NL, Klairic has a very steady upward trending lifetime graph. With $34,195 in winnings and boasting a 4.84 win rate this August, Klairic looks like he might win his first UGL badge. Trying his best to stop him is last month’s 400NL winner, Python817. With just one week remaining Python817 will have to make a surge if he wants to win back to back UGL Badges.


As we charge into the third week in August the competitors for 200NL badge are starting to narrow.
