    In the @Homesteadlt 1.5 SBD Heads-Up Shootout, both players go all-in before the flop and LoqueDog21 hits the wheel (A-5 straight) on the river

  • Yesterday’s winners:

The brand spanking new @homesteadlt 1.5 SBD Heads-Up Shootout (16 Players Max) was a fantastic addition to the Monday freeroll lineup. It filled up quickly and our friend @Manny80 was able to beat 4 opponents to win first place and 1 SBD. Congrats Manny!

In a brutal @followbtcnews 5 SBD freeroll that saw many bad beats and unlucky runouts, @acedawnmusic won the tournament, beating @celsius100 heads-up.

  • New Freeroll! Thanks to @futuremind, we have a brand new 5 SBD freeroll this week. The tournament will start at 1:00 PM Central on 5/10 (Thursday). Read about it and give FutureMind an upvote and comment if you’re up for it here.

  • Our buddy @generausd began an SPL interview series. In this edition, he interviews @Tuck-Fheman. Read it here!

  • A couple of weeks ago, @PhilippeKiene started hosting his own 2 SBD tournament in the SPL. He’s back for more and has added a 2 SBD Heads-Up Shootout on Thursday mornings at 5 AM Central. Read and upvote here.

  • Message from Tuck: The poker server has recently been updated to the latest version, fixing some issues here and there, the most noticeable for most will be the Chrome audio issue is resolved. If you had already registered for the Victory Day tournaments, you will need to re-register since updating the server removes players from those tournaments.
