Today in the SPL (5/10/18): Freerolls, Updates, and More from the Steem Poker League

Hello Steemians and SPL Poker Players!

Who’s ready for a great Thursday in the SPL!? We have brand new tournaments and deep prize pools, so let’s get it on! Please also show your support the league with your upvote.

Updates, News, and Notes

• Yesterday’s Action:
  
  In the @pcste 10 SBD freeroll, the turn gives @jsock top pair, only to rip away the win with a heart on the river, giving @generausd the king-high flush

With three players in the hand after the flop, I felt pretty good with my top pair of queens. @Missypurple hits a set and then quads with pocket two’s

• Yesterday’s winners:

I was able to fight my way into the top six in the @dontstopmenow 10 SBD freeroll, but I lost to the eventual winner @yazp. Congrats!

You know who has been hot lately? @yazp, who took down another 5 SBD @followbtcnews freeroll and won a Tucket ticket for Saturday’s tournament in the process.

The @pcste is a weekly 10-SBD NLH freeroll. This week’s tournament came down to @pcste and @generausd. It’s always an amazing feeling to win your own tournament, however this week @generausd was able to beat him heads up to deny the win. It’s okay, @pcste picked up X SBD and 3 SBD for winning the last-longer pot that included @chops316 and myself (@michaelluchies).

Stay tuned tomorrow for a recap of the second @guiltyparties 25 SBD freeroll to celebrate veterans on the blockchain and Victory Day. We’ll also have the winner of the 20 Wangchange freeroll hosted by @MrWang in tomorrow’s update.

• New Freeroll! Monday’s just got a lot more exciting in the SPL. We have exciting news dropping left and right! Adsactly (alexvan & @adsactly-witness) is hosting a weekly 20 SBD Monday tournament at 6 PM Central. Make sure to follow him and consider voting him as a witness.
