Today in the SPL (5/30/18): Freerolls, Updates, and More from the Steem Poker League

Hello Steemians and SPL Poker Players!

This is what we wait all week for people. It’s Wednesday in the SPL and there are a lot of opportunities to win SBD and play great games of poker against some of the strongest players you can find online. While you’re enjoying the fun, please also make sure to support the SPL with your upvotes and donations.

Updates, News, and Notes

• NEW 20 SBD FREEROLL! Thanks to Hive account@curie, we now have a 20 SBD Friday freeroll! A big thanks to the SPL team for getting us a replacement for the Community Funded Freeroll which ended, and a big high five to Hive account@curie for hosting what will be a fantastic weekly tournament.

• And Now, A Look At Yesterday’s Action:

The final hand in the Tuesday afternoon Hive account@followbtcnews freeroll is a doozy. Both players go all-in with pocket pairs and Hive account@lebekons hits a set of fives on the flop, ending the tournament and Hive account@hopfarmnc's hopes and dreams of winning the tournament

After Hoodish raised pre-flop, Hive account@gemini pushed all-in and Hive account@farseer called. After hesitating, Hoodish calls with the best hand...until the river when Hive account@farseer hits the nut flush

• Yesterday’s Winners:

He did it. Hive account@homesteadlt (Tadas) won his third HORSE with Hoodish tournament in a row. Congrats!

In the Hive account@followbtcnews 5 SBD freeroll, Hive account@lebekons played aggressively and it paid off.

There was a late-night 2 SBD HU Shootout. We’ll share the results in Thursday’s update.
