๐ Sundays Steem Poker League @berniesanders 100 SBD Easter Fools FreeRoll was a great success. ๐ with 116 Registered Players ๐ Probably the Biggest tournament so far. ๐
๐ฒ https://www.lucksacks.com is a Great place to meet fellow Poker Players, Learn the game and Win ๐ฐ SBD every day of the week! Today's tournament was sponsored by @nextgencrypto ( A very generous donation indeed ).
To your left you will find all 116 registered players and where they finished.
20 Players were removed as no-shows as registration began many days in advance so was expected some would not make their seat.
๐ But 96 Players did participate making this the best-attended Tournament I am aware of. ๐
๐ Every Player from position 50 on up won some SBD for playing, I ended up at 41st, Not my best day & not my worst.
You can clearly see who ended up where so let's have a look at the last table to final hand that saw guyfawkes apply plenty of muscle to luj and taking 1st place overall for the effort ๐ and a cool 24.5 SBD Ka-Ching !
FarSeeR goes home 10th, now 2 tables merge to 1. Pockets 9's just fell short of luj's TT's and a commanding stack.
Below we see the last table just getting underway...
luj 120K
The nearest Player having 64K
Going to be a grind to take top spot at the moment.
Right away BitKat goes All In preflop with TT hoping to gain some chips, But falls to luj's AQ both finding pairs on the felt. luj sitting on a massive 172K stack...
Next to fall in 8th spot is generausd shoving with AT off and luj on fire with the inferior hand A9 off but finds a friend on the flop with a 9 and now has 195K in chips!

Linux911 takes 7th place & 3.2 SBD trying a shove with AT that failed against oendertuerk's K9 that hit a KK on the flop and leaving him with a 77K stack to play with.
kingbum attemps a shove with T4 and is covered by luj and his KJ suited that finds a J to match for an easy win. kingbum goes home a respectable 6th with 4.20 ( must be for smoke ) SBD.
Gadni is next to fall when he counts on his AA to win and shoves only to find a matching AA in guyfawkes hand plus a pair of 7's for the win. Gadni goes home 5th place with 6 SBD! Good Game.
The play has been hot and heavy with few hands played between shove fests now at 4000/8000 Blinds and the smaller stacks making plays to double or nothing.
Position 4th is sealed when laraluck throws everthing at guyfawkes with QJ that finds no friends against 66 in poket and another pair on deck. laraluck takes home lucky 7 SBD, great showing!
luj is still on fire and another shove against oendertuerk's K6 with his 84 that makes 2 pair for the win.
oendertuerk goes home a very respectable 3rd and 9 SBD. Woot ! Woot !
Now was time to square off for the 1st & 2nd place finish whew, both luj and guyfawkes started with similar stacks both having some highs and lows until 45 hands later it was settled. About half way through those hands guyfawkes with bravado or just lucky cards started a very aggressive game meeting ever raise with a large 1 himself and forced many folds gaining some good ground that luj never recovered from, ending in the final hand below Just past the 4 Hr mark in action, Blinds now at 8000/16000 !
Congrats to guyfawkes with your ๐ 1st place win and 24.5 SBD in winnings & luj who played a Great game and finished ๐ 2nd and took home 14.25 SBD!
I had a good time watching and recording the action ๐ now hoping my new layout style will work on all browsers? But have my doubts. LOL let me know how it looks to you.
