Unlike some people predicted last time, there still isn’t a winner of our battle 
. Moreover, Mr. White had a little downswing and was obliged to hand over the lead in the challenge to Mr. Blue: $831 vs $807.
I finally had a good run myself again, making some $80 profit (bankroll at $234). However, it’s not that important anymore concerning the challenge, but at least I can pay my $100 with it 
. So it’s still very close between the other two guys and it seems like they have both chosen the least risky way towards that magical $1000: by playing heads-up sng’s.
Mr. White played some so-called ‘shoot-out’ tournaments with 4 players. You play heads-up, but you have to beat two opponents in a row to win the entire prize pool. As I told you, he didn’t have a very good run at these games, but some guy really chose the wrong moment to bluff against him:
Mr. White flops the nuts in an unraised pot and gets the perfect value from his opponent who just moves all-in on the turn, drawing dead to win the hand (a split pot with a 6 on the river is his best scenario). He experienced another exciting situation heads-up as he flopped quad aces yesterday^^. He made this picture:
The difficult thing about flopping quad aces with only one ace in the hole (the odds of this to happen are 1 to 19 599, or 0.01%) is extracting some value from your opponent. Of course, your opponent turning a full boat helps^^. Maybe we’ll have a winner next time!

So this graph makes at least one thing very clear: Mr. Brown is eliminated in the battle and will have to pay $200 to the winner, which is most likely going to be me . He and Ms. Pink played their ‘now or never-tournament’ and Mr. Brown was eliminated in 5th place. So from that moment on Ms. Pink knew she’s wasn’t going to end up last if she would reach the money, which she accomplished with a second place, worth $105. She’s now at $153. Brown only had $25 left and lost his last money on the heads-up tables.
Meanwhile I’m preparing myself for receiving an extra $400 besides my soon to be $950 of poker profits, after taking back the lead with an $868 bankroll. I played some big multi-table tournament for a change and was able to make a nice cash-out of $145. This hand was very important in the ‘final’ phase of the tourney:
So I make a standard raise with pocket Queens and the chipleader shoves all-in with his enormous stack. Now with QQ you only fear two hands: KK and AA. Now it makes no sense to just shove with those 2 hands so I had to call. It sucks to play a coinflip situation for your entire stack but luckily it held up. This means it’s $868 vs $802 (Mr. Blue) now, so the battle can be over any moment now…
