"TheSims"
"TheSims"

In Level 28 with blinds of 20,000/40,000 and an ante of 5,000, Ryan ��TheSims�� Hohner raised to 80,000 and received calls from "golden13" in the cutoff as well as both "plumberboy699" in the small blind and "bmweiser" in the big blind.

The four players saw the flop come {4-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{5-Hearts} and "plumberboy699" led out with a bet of 40,000. "bmweiser called and Hohner raised to 135,000. All three players called, bringing the turn {4-Diamonds}.

"plumberboy699" led out again for another 40,000 and "bmweiser" called once more. Hohner bumped it up to 248,000, getting a fold from "golden13" before both "plumberboy699" and "bmweiser" stuck around to bring the river {2-Hearts}. "plumberboy699" fired 40,000 once more and got an immediate fold from "bmweiser," and then Hohner called to take the hand to showdown.

"plumberboy699" showed {a-Diamonds}{5-Spades} for two pair, fives up, and Hohner had {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds} tabled to earn him the pot with queens up, taking his stack up to 4.7 million in the process.

"yolegacy" Eliminated in 6th Place ($341)

"yolegacy"
"yolegacy"

In Level 28 with blinds of 20,000/40,000 and an ante of 5,000, "bmweiser" opened to 180,000 under the gun and "yolegacy" three-bet jammed for 977,000 in the cutoff. Action made its way back to "bmweiser" and they made the call.

"yolegacy": {a-Hearts}{k-Spades}
"bmweiser": {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}

The two were in a classic coin flip situation for a pot of 2 million and "yolegacy" found a friendly flop of {j-Spades}{j-Clubs}{k-Hearts}. However, the turn {10-Spades} gave "bmweiser" a full house and "yolegacy" was unable to hit a better full house as the river {q-Clubs} left them with Broadway, not enough to earn them the pot.

As a result, they were eliminated in sixth place for a $341 payday.

��I realized how tough it was going to be for everyone to keep up with everything and everyone, with so much changing so fast,�� Stone recently told PokerNews. ��So, I messaged my friend Cy Watson, who has been very active on social media as well regarding Coronavirus, asking him if he thought it would be a good idea to start a chat for people in the industry to be able to connect with each other for help.��

Understanding that this is unlike any situation any of us have encountered before, and so thinking outside the box can go a long way. Taking the time to improve a skill, or learn a new skill whether it's a game or something else could be really beneficial not just financially, but mentally.��
