Trying to turn a profit in the PokerStars Big Game is no joke and nobody knows this better than Week 5 Loose Cannon Aaron Jensen. Hailing from Seattle, Aaron was had more poker experience than all previous Loose Cannons, but even with his extra skills, he couldn’t leave the game in the black. He’ll have to go back to grinding a PokerStars Bonus Code.
Like all Loose Cannons before him, Jensen qualified online via a series of freerolls on the PokerStars Download. Once he’d proved his skills online, he cut together an audition tape and sent it off to PokerStars HQ. Successfully vetted, he was given $100,000 and a seat with the pros. Any profits on that initial buy-in are his to keep, but a horde of well known experts were dying to take his whole stack away. This is tougher than any game he’s ever likely to play at money poker sites.
Aaron was planning to fund his big day with Big Game profits, but his wife-to-be will have to scale down the wedding budget a notch or two. After failing to bluff Scott Seiver on the river, who spotted some poker tells and called him with Ace-high, he tangled for the final time with Daniel Negreanu. Following some pre-flop raising, the flop of K-9-7 was enough for Jensen to commit his last chips holding A-Q. The Daniels Room Poker proprietor thought for a moment and made a tough call with J-9 middle pair. Negreanu’s modest hand held out and sent the Loose Cannon home before the final episode of the week had even begun.
Aaron Jensen wasn’t the only player to leave the table during Week 5. Poker News owner Tony G is a big character, but he couldn’t find his form in the Big Game. In one particularly gruesome hand he lost a $192,000 against Vanessa Roussou and her A-A. Despite hitting two pair on the flop, an Ace on the turn put him way behind. A card that gave both players a full house on the river was the worst thing he could have asked for. The winnings were shipped to the PokerStars Marketing Codes pro. With no money to hand Tony was forced to ask Daniel Negreanu for a $100,000 loan. Even with that extra boost, he couldn’t stop the leak and he was soon back to $0 and on his way home. He was replaced by the equally talkative Phil Laak, who joined a table which also included Lex Veldhuis.
Hand Converter analysis clearly indicated that most active player was Scott Seiver. He threw chips into almost every pot and usually came out ahead. At one point he had PokerStars pro Daniel Negreanu in a real state, trying to figure out whether to call Seiver’s big river bet. Daniel managed to wrench himself to a good fold, managing to figure out that his 6-6 was behind to the two pair Seiver quietly held. Phil Laak managed to upstage Danny by wandering over to host Amanda Leatherman to correctly predict Seiver’s hand. Scott is a well known player on us poker rooms, so it was no surprise to see him doing well.
The winners and losers at the end of the week were as follows:
Scott Seiver (+ $251,200)
Vanessa Rousso (+ $131,500)
Todd Brunson (+ $47,300)
Phil Laak (+ $40,800)
Daniel Negreanu (- $4,600)
Lex Veldhuis (- $87,900)
Aaron Jensen (- $100,00)
