Today in the SPL (5/13/18): Freerolls, Updates, and More from the Steem Poker League

Hello Steemians and SPL Poker Players!

Does your team have what it takes, or are you going to let Team Wild run off with the trophy without a fight? It’s time to play baby! Please also show your support the league with your upvote.

Updates, News, and Notes

• Team Up is back! It’s week 6 out of 8. Does your team still have a shot? Here are the current rankings:

• New Freeroll! Adsactly (alexvan & @adsactly-witness) is hosting a brand new weekly 20 SBD Monday tournament at 6 PM Central. Check out the full details and upvote here. Make sure to follow him and consider voting him as a witness.

• Yesterday’s Action:
  

  

Late in the Tucket, @Kerry234 pushes @Sevendst19 all-in. Seven thinks about it and makes a good call with a pair of kings and a queen kicker (in addition to the board pair)

In the first few hands of the Tucket, I call a hefty pre-flop raise with king queen suited and feel pretty confident after the 45Q flop. I reraise FarSeer, who then calls. My bet on the turn quickly turns into an all-in, and I get to see his 74 suited take down the pot and knock me out of the tournament. Nice hand

Both players all-in before the flop, @Sevendst19's pair of fours is enough to knock out Tadas

After both players go all-in, a brutal runout gives @yazp a straight and the victory, a 7 SBD prize!

• Yesterday’s winners:

@Yazp won the 10 SBD Tucket. Make sure to earn your ticket to next week’s tournament through a Tucket satellite in the Sit N Go lobby.

My chip lead evaporated after some nasty runouts (I know, excuses are worthless) against @arcaneinfo, who eventually took down the 10 SBD @pokering Heads-Up Shootout. I’ll see you next week Arcane!

Other News and Notes:

• In this week’s post about the Dawg Pound, our buddy @Rawdawg highlights his tournament, which has now run 9 weeks in a row and given out 45 SBD. Make sure to read and upvote the post here. Can you guess who the only player is to have won it 3 times?
