Liquid Poker Weekly Bulletin
Posted by Raidern, July 02
Hello folks! We are delighted to present you once again some of the best hands played by LPers. There are all kinds of hands in this bulletin, from hilarious bluffs to monstrous pots won by unexpected holdings. Some of the hands are pure art, while others are the best poker entertainment.
Low/Mid Stakes Hand of the Week - 6/9 – 6/15
The winning hand of this week was played when gororokgororok was playing a $1/$2 6-handed game. After UTG limps in, gororok raises from the BB for UTG to call. After that, gororok check-called in three consecutive streets on a very drawy and dangerous board. In the end, his Ace-high hand was more than enough to beat villain's busted straight draw.

The flop came 3KJ and T8Suited made a standard cbet, which was called. An Ace of spades fell on the turn. This time, our hero check-called his opponent's bet with the flushdraw. The river bricked a six, and that's when the magic happened. Villain made a 2/3 pot bet and T8suited, with complete air, made a big bluff that caused villain fold his hand!

Starting the day with 30 players divided over 4 tables, it was hard to pick a clear favorite. No really big name was still playing, so we'd have to go for the chipleader, which was Thibaut Durand with 1.65 million in chips (the next in chips had about a million). When the final table started however, he had dropped to 3rd chip position with Jason Helder as the new chipleader. The German Carsten Joh started just in 7th chip position, but did manage to survive throughout the early hours of the final table. A decisive hand for him was when he doubled up with  ...read entire blog(4 comments) |
