iPokerBot was in the main player in the hand and raised after betting began and he was re-raised by Clownpunch3r69. iPokerBot called the re-raise and Clownpunch3r69 would check on the flop of Kh, 9c and Kd. iPokerBot would decide to raise when a 3h came on the turn and Clownpunch3r69 would call.

The river would be a 9s and Clownpunch3r69 would bet and iPokerBot would go all in. Clownpunch3r69 would show Kc, Ks and iPokerBot would show 9h, 9d. Clownpunch3r69 would win the hand with four of a kind with his kings and this would activate the bad beat jackpot since he beat iPokerBot who had quad nines.

For the loss, iPokerBot would earn $75,737.87 while Clownpunch3r69 would win $37.8k for taking down the hand. The other six players at the table would earn $6,311.48 just for being at the table that activated the jackpot.

PokerStars WCOOP Just Days Away… is a post from: Online Gambling Sites

Patrik Antonius is the pretty boy of poker and he likes to hit the high stakes tables at Full Tilt. This month is just a few days in and Antonius has already earned himself just over $300k. The pro was down almost $1 million for the month of august so the profit was a nice change of pace for the pro.

Antonius hit the $2000/$4000 Limit hold’em tables and played online player Deprimiert 413 hands to earn the nice profit. Deprimiert may want to think long and hard before hitting the high stakes tables again. Before he lost the $306k to the pro he faced Phil Ivey one day earlier and lost $327K. For those of you without a calculator that is a grand total of $636k in losses in a two day period.

So it looks as though the month of September is going to be an interesting one at the high stakes tables. It will be interesting to see if Antonius is able to hang on to his profits and continue to gain more or if he will see a downswing like the previous month and lose all that he has gained.

Lakesha C. Johnson stole $9,000 from a poker pro back in February of 2009. She was at the Horseshoe Casino when she met the pro and began to flirt her way to his poker table and eventually his bedroom. The two played poker for a few hours that night and then the pro cashed out.

The two went to have breakfast and then decided to go back to his room for a little ‘alone’ time. The pro stopped to gather some much needed items, gum and condoms, and then headed to his room with Johnson.

The two then commenced the ‘alone’ time and around 9:30am the pro woke up to find that the $9,000 he had won the previous night was gone. Johnson had gotten up earlier than the pro and hightailed it with his poker winnings.

Johnson will have to pay the $9,000 back that she stole as well as perform 90 hours of community service for her eighteen months probation sentence. She could have earned 3 years in jail but her lawyer apparently helped her get a plea bargain. The pro’s name has been withheld in the case.

Going into the free agency period, most everyone was interested in where Lebron James would end up. There was a great deal of speculation. However, Chicago and New York were considered the front-runners if James decided to leave Cleveland. Though there was a lot of money to be made if the decided to move on, there were many people who thought that he would stay in Cleveland. They figured his heart was too connected to his home state. It was thus, very surprising when he decided to move to Miami and become a member of the Heat, joining one other superstar (Dwyane Wade) and a up-and-coming star, Chris Bosh. Lebron made his announcement to leave Cleveland and sign with Miami on national television on ESPN, which was met with universal disdain. One person commented that no matter what, “you don’t break up with your girlfriend on national television” and that’s exactly what James seemed to do.

The free agency period wasn’t all about Lebron, other major stars who had a chance to leave and find new teams were Dewayne Wade, who stayed in Miami, Carlos Boozer who signed with Chicago and Amare Stoudemire who became a Knick.

All-in-all, the 2010 National Basketball Association Free Agency was an unforgettable one. There was a great deal of speculation and everyone had their opinion about the final destinations of the aforementioned free agents. The biggest bit of disdain seemed to be aimed at Lebron. The trio of him, Wade and Bosh seems to be an embarrassment of riches and the fact that James has paired up with Wade, an already established star, is seen as a no-no, at least amongst Hall of Famers, Michael Jordan, Charles Barkley and Magic Johnson.
