Online Grinder Ends Week In Small Hole, However

Print-icon
 

The past week was a bit slow in the online high-stakes world, but that doesn’t mean there weren’t some interesting sessions. Doug “WCGRider” Polk and unknown Denoking kept up their nosebleed no-limit hold’em action with some intense pots at $100-$200.

The largest hand of their battles was a $131,226 cooler.

Polk had the button and made it $440. Denoking three-bet to $1,800. Polk four-bet to $5,400, and Denoking five-bet to $13,800. Polk called and the flop came:

KDiamond Suit KClub Suit 8Heart Suit

Denoking fired $7,800. Polk called.

The 2Diamond Suit landed on the turn.

Denoking led out $14,400, and Polk once again called.

The river was the KHeart Suit.

Denoking shoved for nearly $30,000 and was instantly called. Their cards:

Polk: AHeart Suit KSpade Suit
Denoking: ADiamond Suit ASpade Suit

Despite the hand, Polk ended up being a slight loser for the week.

Here are the week’s biggest winners and losers:
