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 gororokgor...

I'm talking about the $50,000 HORSE event. This event is always filled with only the best or wealthiest pokerpro's and has had some sick final tables before. This year it's no different, but not just because of the names, but also because of the stories behind them. The chipleader is Erik Sagstrom (see...

Jeff Lisandro however, prefers to have 7 of his own. One could call him "The Master of Stud" because yes, he's done it again! His 4th final table of this year, all in 7-card-variants, and his 3rd bracelet is in the pocket. This time, it was the $2,500 Seven Card Razz that became his prey. Startin...

As opposed to in their Main Event final, this time Peter Eastgate and Ivan Demidov won't dispute any money, as the $10,000 involved will go to charity.

Either Doyle Brunson could get his 11th bracelet, as he started in 3rd chip position, or Jeff Lisandro could add his name to the list containing Brock "tsoprano" Parker and Phil Ivey to become the 3rd player to win 2 bracelets in 2009!

He just won his second bracelet this year, and his 7th bracelet overall in yet another different structure. In the $2,500 Omaha 8-or-better/Seven-card Stud 8-or-better it still was no easy win for Ivey. He was one of the shortstacks coming into the final day (14 players left), and the second shortest stack coming into the fi...

In fact, it was completely sold out as it had 6012 entrants! It was the biggest field in the history of the WSOP aside from the Main Event!
