After several weeks of monstrous action at the high stakes Play Money tables, things cooled off a little to end the month of January. There were only two pots in excess of 2B chips and no action at all at the 5M/10M tables.
This week's top spot went to America, with 'GQ Jay29' earning 2.25B chips when his pocket aces held up against the pocket tens of 'viziato1991' at the 2.5M/5M tables. The board brought a range of unthreatening undercards and understandably all the chips went in the middle.
It was an almost exact reversal of fortunes in the second biggest hand of the week worth 2.07B chips. This time 'viziato1991' held the aces against a slightly improved pocket jacks for 'GQ Jay29'. They didn't wait until the second betting round this time around as all the chips went in after five pre-flop raises. The result was the same, with the aces holding up on a board of undercards.
There was one notable hand at 2.5M/5M that didn't quite scrape into the biggest of the week - it marked the return of 2003 WSOP Champion Chris Moneymaker to the Play Money tables. Chris has held the top spot on the Billionaire Club World Rankings for many weeks, as his competitors have been unable to reel him in.
He got off to a fine start on his return, lodging a 1B chip pot when his pocket tens became a set against 'GQ Jay29's aggressively played top pair. Things turned later in the week though for Chris, as he finished 1B down for the period - making it tight at the top in the latest World Rankings.
It was a hand of Omaha that took the honours at the 1M/2M stakes for the week. 'StakAttack22' claimed 65% of a five-way 1.23M chip pot when his flopped set of queens held up against the range of draws held by his opponents. 'mplsT' and 'hamid.felted' claimed a side pot each after starting the hand with superior stack sizes.
Finally, at 500K/1M it was a split pot between 'chefandre254' & 'V3.STAFF.V3' that ranked #1. Both held AQ, and were happy to see an ace hit the board. They played it cool until the turn when they decided to play for it all. By then the flush possibility was already gone, so the chips went back where they came from with a small donation from the blinds.
