EPT Madrid Grand Final: A Detailed Hand Analysis by nanonoko
The EPT Madrid Grand Final took place in May 2011. The player received 30,000 chips at the start of the tournament with blinds starting at 25/50. The key hand for the player occurred at the 100/200 level without ante.
The player was dealt 5♦5♦ on the button and raised 500 chips. The flop was 5♣4♦3♠, giving the player a set. The player bet 1,000 chips on the flop, and the big blind called.
On the turn, a T♣ was dealt, and the big blind raised to 6,500 chips. The player considered the big blind's behavior and decided to call. On the river, a J♣ was dealt, and the big blind bet 15,000 chips. The player decided to fold, considering the big blind's strong play.

Argus RivenI've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
