m1rcea<\/a> was our biggest winner, in a week where he acheived a career goal of winning a $1,000+ pot, which he did when his opponent massively overplayed a rivered top-pair-top-kicker. <\/p>

More importantly, our hero showed us how to not lose a $1,000 pot almost right after<\/a>. He smelled a rat with a monster and decided to check it back on the river, saving himself a small fortune. <\/p>

Elsewhere, knowwhystarted<\/a> showed us how he managed a 1,000 big blind upswing, it's easy, just crack Aces with Ace King, the crack Aces again with Kings. <\/a><\/p>

9.39 BB\/100 is the winrate to beat!<\/h2>

\"lemon36<\/p>

The latest standings in our 40,000 micro stakes challenge has seen a couple of players get to the 40,000 hands milestone with a profit, and right now the man to beat is hellraiser22 with a final winrate of 9.39 BB\/100. <\/p>

However, pepan47 currently boasts a winrate of 21.1 BB\/100 after 15,000 hands - can he keep it up? Follow the challenge<\/a>.<\/p>

Finally, the lucky winner of a Status Upgrade is the one and only.........infinitom<\/a>, congratulations. <\/p>

You can win an upgrade too. Join our challenge today<\/a>!<\/p>
