Durrrr Plays Heads Up Against Ziigmund

Thursday, July 9th, 2009

Durrrr Played Heads Up Against Ziigmund at the $500/$1000 Pot Limit Omaha Hi table at FullTiltPoker.net. They both sat down with $100k.

FullTiltPoker.net has updated their hand history console and for some reason I can’t find the hand history in text format. They now show a replay of the action but even that is hard to use with the pause function not currently working. For the time being I am going to talk about the major hands with the pot size, cards and community cards. I won’t really have much information on the bets that happened during the hand until FullTilt fixes the current issues.

After about 20 hands of back and forth with a couple pots in the 15k range a large hand was played with a pot worth $167,996.50. The community cards were: 7h, 2h, 6d, 9s, Ac. Ziigmund had 7s, 10d, 8h, 5h and Durrrr had: 3h, 10s, 7c, 9c. Ziigmund won the pot with his ten high straight.

Another hand had Durrrr winning the hand after Ziigmund folded after durrrr re-raised ziigmund’s bet of $12k. Durrrr won the hand worth $39,600.

A hand worth $107,999.50 was Ziigmunds after he raised durrr’s bet of $33k to $99k with a pot of $40k which durrr folded.

The last hand of the match was durrr’s after betting $57k on a $84k pot and ziigmund folding the hand. At the end of the poker action players had:

Durrrr: $201,689.75

Ziigmund: $198,281.25

| Scubba |, Steve Yea and kmoneyk10 played $50/$100 at FullTiltPoker.net

Sunday, July 5th, 2009

l Scubba l ($27,714), Steve Yea ($8,315) and kmoneyk10 ($12,084) played at the $50/$100 $3,000 Cap No Limit Hold-em game at FullTiltPoker.net. Also at the table were Erik Lindgren ($6,300), 5h1p1t 2 m3 ($4,900), nationz ($1,119).

There hasn’t been much high stakes action with the 2009 WSOP in full swing. Right now the 2009 WSOP Main Event is being played and I expect that after the tournament ends in mid July and most poker pros leave Vegas the online poker tables will be filled with high stakes action.

For now,  I felt like the site needed an update so I went down a couple levels and ended up at $50/$100 where there was some poker action.

At the end of the action the chips were:

kmoneyk10 ($14,404)
5h1p1t 2 m3 ($15,234)
MissNikita1987 ($3,000)
l Scubba l ($28,534)
