PokerStars Big Game

The initial run of the PokerStars Big Game has come to an end, but more episodes are only a few weeks away. In Week 6 it was another case of a Loose Cannon failing to excite, but the big-name pros at the table more than making up for it. Undoubtedly the centre of attention was one Phil Hellmuth. The world record bracelet holder rarely misses the opportunity for a blow-up when the cameras are in attendance and he didn’t disappoint this week. The target of his vitriol was online sensation Dan “Ansky” Stern, who had Hellmuth totally on tilt. His antics are undoubtedly the most watchable of any of the free poker no downloads sponsored players.

Sitting quietly in the midst of all this turmoil was Andre Capella, the inappropriately named Loose Cannon from Greenville, Tennessee. He proved to be a very tight player who wasn’t in the habit of creating exciting pots. Thankfully he only last a total of 88 hands. Like all Loose Cannons, he qualified by winning a free tournament on the Descargar PokerStars. The 76 year old did put up a fight in the early going, but the Mr Hellmuth soon put a stop to that. Holding J-J against the poker brat’s J-8, he saw a blank flop, followed by runner-runner eights. Had Phil been the recipient of such a beat, the whole studio would have erupted, but he was perfectly happy to be raking the chips. Perhaps the Poker Brat needs to spend more time with a hand converter.

Capella’s stack never recovered from this mauling. To be fair to the Loose Cannon, Lady Luck certainly wasn’t on his side. He needed some cold hard poker tells to help him out, but they weren’t forthcoming. His K-Q hit top pair on a board of K-6-4, as did Stern with K-10. His fate was sealed by a 10 on the turn and an all-in call, which resulted in Stern collected the entirety of Capella’s stack. They ran it twice but both times the Loose Cannon missed his outs. He’ll was sent on his way, back to grinding PokerStars Bonus Code offers.

Stern turned out to be the big winner from Week 6, much to Phil Hellmuth’s chagrin. Phil couldn’t handle losing a pot after having the best of it early on and began running his mouth in riveting fashion. A veteran of best US poker sites chat wars, Dani wasn’t one to take it lying down and began firing back with both barrels. Hellmuth later apologised and offered to buy Stern a bottle of Dom Perignon. As the week was winding down, Big Game host Amanda Leatherman brought on a surprise bottle of the fine champagne for Hellmuth to award to Stern as an apology. As the credits rolled, the pair appeared to be patching up their differences.

Proprietor of Daniels Room Poker and PokerStars talisman Daniel Negreanu was also on hand to stoke the fires of Hellmuth’s tilt. He even provoked Phil to ask him, “What have you ever done in holdem?” with Daniel wasting no time in replying, “not that much.” It should be noted that Negreanu has the second highest career winnings total in live tournaments in the history of the game.
