Week #2: guess hero's hand and win $50!

The second week of our promo sees hero call off his stack in a 4-bet pot - but what was he holding? Tell us, explain why, and you can win $50.

Guess the hand
Usually you have to make snap, split-second decisions at the poker table but we're being generous and giving you a week to guess what hand hero is holding and why.

Last week, someone83 correctly guessed that the mystery hand was KsJx. Check out the new hand history below and post your guess (plus your explanation of why you think this is hero's hand) before 23:59 CET on August 18 in our forum thread:
