PokerStars Big Game Hand Converter
Trying to turn a profit in the PokerStars Big Game is no joke and nobody knows this better than Week 5 Loose Cannon Aaron Jensen. The Seattle based player is the most experienced contestant to fill the qualifier%u2019s seat so far, but even with his extra skills, he couldn%u2019t leave the game in the black. He%u2019ll have to go back to grinding a PokerStars Bonus Code.
As with all the Loose Cannons, Jensen had made his way to the table by winning a series of freerolls on the PokerStars Download. Once he%u2019d proved his skills online, he cut together an audition tape and sent it off to PokerStars HQ. Successfully vetted, he was handed a $100k stack and chips and a seat with the pros. Any profits on that initial buy-in are his to keep, but a gaggle of the game%u2019s top minds were on hand to help prevent that eventuality. This is tougher than any game he%u2019s ever likely to play at money poker sites.
Aaron was planning to fund his big day with Big Game profits, but his wife-to-be will have to scale down the wedding budget a notch or two. After having his tricky play picked off by Scott Seiver, who spotted some poker tells and called him with Ace-high, he tangled for the final time with Daniel Negreanu. Following some pre-flop raising, the flop of K-9-7 prompted an all in from Jensen with nothing more than A-Q. The Daniels Room Poker proprietor thought for a moment and made a tough call with J-9 middle pair. Negreanu%u2019s modest hand held out and sent the Loose Cannon home before the final episode of the week had even begun.
The Loose Cannon wasn%u2019t the only player to get felted during Week 5. Poker News owner Tony G is a big character, but he couldn%u2019t find his form in the Big Game. His biggest hit came against Vanessa Roussou, who took him to town for a $192,000 with pocket rockets. Although his 6-5 hit two pair on the flop, an Ace on the turn put him way behind. A card that gave both players a full house on the river was the worst thing he could have asked for. The winnings were shipped to the PokerStars Marketing Codes pro. After loosing his initial $177,000, Tony G turned to Daniel Negreanu for a leg-up, taking a $100k loan from the Canadian pro. Even with that extra boost, he couldn%u2019t stop the leak and he was soon back to $0 and on his way home. He was replaced by the equally talkative Phil Laak, who joined a table which also included Lex Veldhuis.
Hand Converter analysis clearly indicated that most active player was Scott Seiver. He threw chips into almost every pot and usually came out ahead. At one point he had PokerStars pro Daniel Negreanu in a real state, trying to figure out whether to call Seiver%u2019s big river bet. In the end Danny made the right fold, managing to figure out that his 6-6 was behind to the two pair Seiver quietly held. Impressively, Phil Laak joined host Amanda Leatherman on the couch during Negreanu%u2019s quandary to reveal that he had correctly guessed Seiver%u2019s two cards. Scott is a well known player on us poker sites, so it was no surprise to see him doing well.
