Day #2 of Suspense is behind our backs as well! One day to go............

There is a certain clearance in the fight for the Yusho and Jun Yusho after Day 14. 

Joaoiyama trusted Ryuden again and the Underdog didn't disappoint. He continues to be a sole Leader with 246 points. 

McBugger jumped from his 5th to 2nd place with 223 points.

Tenshinhan couldn't participate on this crucial day and dropped from 2nd to 3rd place with 209 points. His absence might have caused him an Yusho contention on Senshuraku.

Suwihuto is at 4th place with 204 points. 

Wamahada is at 5th place with 202 points. 

Gurowake rounds up Top-6 with 179 points.

Benihana and Haidouzo are both at the doorsteps of Top-6 with 167 points.

Here are the Overall Standings after Day 14:

Here is the TUG Torikumi for Senshuraku (Day 15):

11 -- Goeido (vs. Kakuryu)

12 -- Mitakeumi (vs. Takayasu)

18 -- Arawashi (vs. Takakeisho)

21 -- Okinoumi (vs. Tamawashi)

12 -- Endo (vs. Tochinoshin)

15 -- Takarafuji (vs. Kotoshogiku)

17 -- Ikioi (vs. Yoshikaze)

22 -- Kaisei (vs. Ichinojo)

29 -- Aminishiki (vs. Hokutofuji)

21 -- Ryuden (vs. Chiyomaru)

12 -- Asanoyama (vs. Takekaze)

13 -- Kyokutaisei (vs. Nishikigi)

12 -- Aoiyama (vs. Daiamami)

[Achiyama 1,247]

So, taking into consideration the maximum points, available for grab on Senshuraku:

The Yusho will be decided between Joaoiyama and McBugger,

In case, Joaoiyama wins the Yusho, and McBugger gets 0 points on Senshuraku, then Tenshinhan, Suwihuto and Wamahada have a shot on the Jun-Yusho.

GOOD LUCK EVERYBODY! PICK YOUR UNDERDOGS WISELY!
