It's that time again - guess what hero is holding in this hand (plus your reasons for thinking so) and you could win $50.

Guess the hand
Last week, pawel0903 won the raffle for his guess that our opponent held 4Club5Club against our aces.

Now check out the new hand history below and post your guess (plus your explanation) of what you think hero's hand is before 23:59 CET on September 01 in our forum thread:

Each member is allowed one guess per hand.

When the deadline is closed, all users who guessed correctly will be entered into a raffle and the winner will be drawn at random; the winner receives $50 in their Tell-a-Friend account at the end of the promotion week.

If you don't guess correctly this week, no worries - keep an eye out for next week's hand history and have another attempt!
