The initial run of the PokerStars Big Game has come to an end, but more episodes are only a few weeks away. Week 6 featured another limp Loose Cannon, but the high-octane pros provided more than enough excitement. Undoubtedly the centre of attention was one Phil Hellmuth. The Poker Brat did everything possible to live up to his nickname, producing riveting entertainment in the process. 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.
Sadly Capella did not have the game to build his way back up from this setback. In his final hand, he once again got a bad slice of luck, this time against Dani Stern. 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. A ten on the turn was all she wrote and when both players pushed all-in, the horrible truth was revealed. 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. After losing with the best starting hand in a couple of big pots, Phil had enough and began trash-talking in his own inimitable style. A veteran of US friendly 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, Daniel Negreanu was in typically boisterous form, eager to bait the Hellmuth shaped tilt-machine to his left. 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 seems fair to say that the four time bracelet winner has more claim that most to hold ‘em prowess.
