** High Stakes Hand of the Week **
The winning hand of this week was played by Exhilarate in a NL1000 full-ring game. He is dealt A9 of clubs in the SB, meanwhile his opponent, who is a short-stack, limps in in in early position. The other players fold to our hero, who raises and gets called by villain. The flop comes QJ5 with two clubs, which gives Exhilarate the flush draw. He fires a c-bet and his opponent calls. The five of diamonds on the turn isn't of much help to him, but Exhilarate fires a second barrel and his opponent calls again. The river double-pairs the board with a second queen, and Exhilarate just checks, inducing villain into a bluff. That's what happens as villain goes all-in. Our hero has to trust in his Ace as a kicker on this one, but he's sure he holds the best hand and makes the call, claiming a 117bb pot!

Runner-up: In this short-handed $3/$6 hand, Artanis[Xp] holds KT of hearts and makes a minraise. Everyone but the guy UTG calls and 4 players proceed to see the J92 rainbow flop. The action is checked to Artanis, who is 3rd to act, and he makes a half-pot bet, which is called only by the player who has position on him. Artanis makes a second bet after the turn brings another jack, his opponent calls. The river brings a three of spades and Artanis checks. Villain makes a 2/3 pot bet and put some pressure on Artanis. He holds just KT, and yet he makes a brave call in spite of the wide range of villain, who shows QT for a busted straight draw!
Artanis makes great call with K-high on a 4-way pot
** Low/Mid Stakes Hand of the Week **
This hand shows MysticJoe playing a 6-max NL400 with antes game sitting with a $862 stack. He is dealt KQo, posts the BB and gets raised by villa<A name="cutnews"></A>in, who holds a bigger stack than his, meaning both players are deep stacked. MysticJoe then responds with a raise of his own, villain calls and both players see the J75 flop with two spades. Our hero misses the flop but leads for $186 and his opponent calls. He makes another bet when he sees a six of hearts on the turn, villain calls again. The river pairs the board with a seven and MysticJoe just checks this time. His opponent bets $289 into $652. That's how much value MJ takes from villain with his check, as calls and wins the pot with King High Queen Kicker!
MysticJoe wins 307bb pot with just K-high
Runner-up:: We don't see sit n' go hands here often, but this is a good one. In the very first hand of a $24 heads-up sng match, player999 holds A9 and raises. His opponent reraises, he calls and both players see the 883 rainbow flop. What we see next is player999's bravery, as in spite of not hitting the board, he calls over three streets all the way down with just Ace high!

** Tournament Performances **
The best tournament performance of this week was scored by [GiTM]-Ace, who hasn't been seen in our bulletins for a while, but finally came back with a vegeance! He shipped the $11 SuperStack $10k Guaranteed at Full Tilt Poker and earned himself a sweet $6,000 payout. It's not the $6,726 that the screenshot shows because it was chopped! But congratulations nevertheless!
We also have to mention iop's score. He finished the $8R with $30,000 guaranteed at PokerStars in 3rd place for a $4,760 prize. iop has been constantly achieving good results over the past months and this just shows once more how good of a player he is.
Last but not least, makito, who is also a user on TeamLiquid won a tournament for the first time. The first one is always special, so it deserves to be mentioned here. He earned $1,493 for his win! |

| Browsing through your hand histories makes me wonder that you might not be aware these games are possibly play money. Have you ever tried to cash out? - Kapol | |
