The Battle Is Over

Ladies & Gentleman, the first ever Steemit Pro League tournament was a success. 24 players took to the tables and one victor emerged. The lone man standing was @writingamigo Congratulations, buddy. Way to take down your opponents in unrelenting fashion.

Writingamigo overcame more than a 2 to 1 chip lead to take down first place. Here is a shot of the final hand

War Stories

We pick up with some early round action from the final table. Blinds are 350/700 Writingamigo from UTG raises to 1400, @zizelevak calls from the BB. The flop comes Kh2s9d, Writingamigo bets 1400, Zizelevak calls. The turn is Ac, both players check. The river is another A, Zizelevak leads 2076, Writingamigo calls. Zize turns over A9, takes down 10442 chips, and emerges as chip leader.

What did you have there @writingamigo? If you care to share :D

The Bubble Boy is Born

Just a little under three hours after start time, a bubble boy would emerge. Blinds are 350/700, Zizelevak raises from UTG 1400 chips, @elalec raises all in for 9825 chips from the SB. Zize makes the call. Elalec turns over A4, Zize turns over 77. Flop comes 5d5c4d9sQh

How Is This Legal?

We're using play money on PokerStars. You do not have to buyin with real money on PokerStars to play. There is a catch however. PokerStars really wants you to buy their play money chips, so they barely give you enough to get into a tournament by forcing the tournament fees to be 17,000+ minimum.

What this means is you need to go to the CASHIER and COLLECT some play chips every 4 hours (12500 chips) to play for free OR you can buy their play chips in the same area for a few bucks for a million or so play chips to enter freeroll tourneys.

Players low on play chips can also ask a friend with some to spare to play them HU in a cash game and dump some to them.

You will win the play money in the tournament on PokerStars and win the designated SBD prize pool amount stated prior to the tournament, which will be paid out here on Steemit by this @tuck-fheman account.
