A PLO BBJ To Start Off The Year
Last night at 11:40pm, eight PLO players had the joy of hitting a huge Bad Beat Jackpot! The PLO BBJ had not been hit for a while, and our lucky players got to share a cool $48,047. It all happened on table 16, where an 8-handed $2/$2 PLO game was being dealt. On that hand, two players were sitting out, leaving six in the arena. The action started with a call from the under-the-gun position, immediately followed by a raise to $10. This amount was just right for everybody, and just like that, a $60 pot was created. Flop: Three players checked to the raiser, Loic D, who supported his pre-flop aggression with a $35 continuation bet. Vincent K was next to act and called. Marco T, sitting on his immediate left, brought it up to $200, a chunky bet even for this game. Everyone that had not invested on […]
Raining BBJs
Late last night, quad over quad allowed a third Bad Beat Jackpot to hit since the beginning of the month. Table 7, located at the heart of our Original Room, delivered the BBJ to nine lucky $1/$2 players. Three of those nine players were sitting out, on break, leaving six players dealt in. The first two players to act limped in, but that was quickly raised to $10, a bet that was also short-lived. Gregory pushed $30 forward, a good chunky 3-bet. Much to the aggressors’ surprise, both blinds cold called, and were joined by the second limper – Georges – and the initial raiser, sending a group of five players to the flop! Flop: After four quick checks, Gregory continued with $45, and three players matched it, all interested to see the turn: . This street did not see any action, and the foursome got themselves a free river: […]
December Off To a Good Start!
On Sunday, the first day of December, the afternoon was coming to an end when a very special hand unfolded on one of our $1/$2 cash game tables. The game was full, but one player was on break, leaving eight players dealt in. After one call, Timothy raised the pot to $10, a very standard raise at these stakes. Two players cold called the bet, and the limper joined in. 4-way flop: The first 2 players to act passed the option to the raiser, who placed a smallish $20 continuation bet. Manpreet called, and was left alone with the aggressor, out of position. When the appeared on the turn, Manpreet politely passed the option over to Timothy, again. Another $20 were bet and called. The river: . If you’re holding quad 3s, this river is as beautiful as can be. You either win a big pot, or win the Bad […]
