This Weekly Bulletin will cover several weeks, from 15th of June up to the 19th of July. Again we chose to pick 3 low/mid-stakes hands and 1 high-stakes hand, due to the amount of hands posted in these topics.
** Low/Mid Stakes Hand of the Week **
This 400NL-hand shows HeRoS)eNGagE playing deepstacked when he gets dealt AJo on the small blind. The UTG-player and UTG+1 limp, and our hero raises with the same 2 players calling. The 5-4-3 flop gives our hero a gutshot and he bets, the UTG player calls while the other player folds. A 5 comes on the turn and we see the same thing: hero bets, villain calls. The 8 on the river doesn't change much, our hero checks and villain overbets the pot, shoving in 150 big blinds! Our hero thinks about it and calls, with just Ace-jack-high, while his opponent shows ace-six for a lower high-card!
HeRoS)eNGagE wins a pot of over 400bb with just ace-high!
Runner-up: This hand shows quite some similarities to the hand above, since our hero, AznFisherman, also holds AJ, this time suited. However, our hero sits on the button this time, and reraises the preflop raise from the UTG-player. UTG calls and again we see a low flop: 5-3-2. UTG check-calls the cbet and the  on the turn gives our hero a flushdraw. This time he is check-raised before he calls. The  on the river however doesn't help him, and villain bets for 3/4 pot. AznFisherman however smelled something fishy and made the call, and once again: AJ is enough to beat his opponent with A6!
AznFisherman wins a 588bb pot with just ace-high!
Runner-up: Holding a pretty nice QJ98 preflop in this $0.25/$0.50 PLO game with $0.10 antes, StreetsOnFire raises an UTG raise from the small blind. UTG calls and they go to the flop, with 360bb effective stacks! On the J-7-3 flop he holds top pair with a gutshot straightdraw and he bets the pot. The villain calls, and on the 5 on the turn he check-calls. The  on the river however doesn't help him and when he checks and villain bets the pot, which is 200bb more, our hero is facing a tough decision. With just top pair with a queen kicker our hero makes the call to see his opponent show middle pair with a busted flushdraw!
StreetsOnFire calls down with top pair in this 580bb PLO-hand!
** High Stakes Hand of the Week **
Another Pot-Limit Omaha hand, but this time it's played by Roman, with $100/$200 blinds and 150bb effective stacks. Our hero is heads-up in the big blind, and calls the bet preflop with J974 with 3 hearts. The Q-8-6 rainbow flop gives our hero a wrap-straightdraw and is checked by both players. The 5 on the turn gives our hero the nuts, and he check-raises the villain, who calls. The Q on the river however is not the card you hope to see, as it gives plenty of possibilities for the villain to hold a full house. Our hero bets the river, but villain bets the pot for about $20,000 more. Roman makes the call and his opponent shows a lower straight, trying to bluff out a better hand, not knowing Roman isn't easily bluffed.
Roman doesn't buy his opponent's bluff and wins a pot of almost $60k!
** Tournament Performances **
During these weeks, the World Series of Poker were still playing and one of our LiquidPoker-heroes made it to a final table. Eric "n0rthf4ce" Liu made the final 9 of the $5k PLO-event, but unfortunately he got knocked out in 7th place, which earned him $68,902.
Another great performance was made by Ludovic "cutsss" Lacay playing the $10k heads-up event. After beating quite a few great players, including Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier, he finished 7th for $92,580.
Another heads-up battle was fought by Brazilian member tiagoxdd, however in a very different tournament. He did make it to the final match of the $215 Weekly Heads-up, where he and his opponent decided to chop for $10k, leaving $1,000 for the winner. Unfortunately he didn't win the event, but the $10k cash is still a great payout.
In a $11 No-Limit Hold'em event we saw iop win the first prize as he earned himself $1,676.73. Meanwhile MeaL played in the Early Double $5+$1 on Full Tilt Poker and finished second, good for $786.38. Lastly we'd like to mention tutz_x's performance, as he finished 7th in a $50k Guaranteed rebuy tournament on PokerStars for $1.1k |
