Updates, News, and Notes

A glorious flop for 93 offsuit, @coinbelly hits a trips and takes out @run-the-bits in the process on the way to a victory in the @followbtcnews 5 SBD freeroll on Friday

In the main event of the night -- the 20 SBD Community Funded Freeroll, @missypurple's queen kicker is enough to knock out @inthenow

In a huge three-way all-in, @celsius100's pocket jacks hold giving him the chip lead with five players left

• Yesterday’s winners:

GET IN MY BELLY! @CoinBelly took down the 5 SBD @followbtcnews freeroll. Congrats!

In the 20 SBD Community Funded Freeroll, it all came down to @celsius100 and Hoodish, and I couldn’t keep up Celsius as he took it down for 7 SBD! Thanks everyone for coming out to play!
