Today in the SPL (6/5/18): Freerolls, Updates, and More from the Steem Poker League

Hello Steemians and SPL Poker Players!

Are you off to a fast start this week! There’s still plenty of time to hit your stride. We have HORSE with Hoodish, a 2 SBD HU Shootout, the 5 SBD @followbtcnews freeroll and more! While you’re enjoying the fun, please also make sure to support the SPL with your upvotes and donations.

Updates, News, and Notes

• Quick hits: New freeroll events must be recurring tournaments, meaning hosts should plan on holding three or more in a row. Avatars can now be purchased with chips through the cashier and ‘donate’ button.

• The first Bad Beat of the Week (BBOTW) winner is @iabuse, whose aces got cracked with only three players left in last Tuesday’s @followbtcnews freeroll by @lebekons 910 suited. Here’s the hand and how it went down. @iabuse wins 2 SBD for his epic loss, and since the submitter was @michaelluchies, who is ineligible to win prizes in this competition, a 1 SBD freeroll will be arranged this week!

• And Now, A Look At Yesterday’s Action:
  

  

Hoodish gets played by MaxPower0000 who hides his pocket aces well and hits a set on the flop.

In a big @followbtcnews 5 SBD Freeroll hand, @gadni pairs his ace and knocks out @betbuddha

• Yesterday’s Winners:

In its brand new spot on Monday afternoons, the Community Casino 10 SBD was as crazy as ever. We had 28 players come out for the game and @gamesandcrypto (loquedog21) help off @redenz and @maxpower0000 for the victory and the 3.6 SBD prize.

In the afternoon @followbtcnews 5 SBD Freeroll I was able to gain a little bit of my cred back after some recent poor play. I won the tournament over stiff competition as @oendertuerk did everything he could do stop me.

In the @adsactly 20 SBD Monday Freeroll, we had some of our newest SPL members get to the final table. It all came down to @paulrusu and @PeterVroom, rusu taking the first place prize of 7.20 SBD.
