Updates, News, and Notes

• Team Up Week 6 Is Over! Thank you for coming out to play to us. Team Wild still has a massive lead, but the gap is closing (slightly).

Team Up Overall Standings

Team Up Individual Standings

• Yesterday’s Action:
  
  After missing on the river, Tadas pushes on the river and gets called down by @CodyPanama with a pair of queens

After Hoodish raises 4x BB pre-flop, there are two callers. He pushes all in after the flop and both call. The ace on the turn gives Hoodish the set of aces but @mendax the nut flush in the @RawDawg Dawg Pound Tournament

In quite possibly the best hand of the day @lebekons hits quads on the flop and plays it carefully, letting @ModernNomad catch a full house. Nicely played Leb!

An explosive hand in the 50 SBD Freeroll and Team Up Tournament. After the flop, Cody, JonSnow, and MStafford all get it in, and Cody's pocket aces hold up to take down the big hand

• Yesterday’s winners:

@Sevendst19 won the @Rawdawg 5 SBD Winner-Take-All tournament.

Beating out an amazingly strong final table, Gemini won the 50 SBD Freeroll and Team UP Tournament. Great job!
