An uncharacteristic period of time has passed since either Michael “imluckbox” Addamo or Niklas “Lena900” Astedt have featured in PokerNews headlines, but like London buses, both have arrived on our front page today Addamo helped himself to the $87,002 top prize of the $5,200 Titans Event while Astedt banked $40,136 in a $2,100 Pot-Limit Omaha PKO event that was part of the PokerStars Carnival Series.

The latest edition of the Titans Event at PokerStars saw 56 entrants create a $280,000 prize pool. Only the top seven finishers received a slice of that sum due to the field’s compact size. This fact meant Bruno “great dant” Volkmann and “ibotown” both reached the final table yet still walked away empty-handed.

How many times have you hit a straight flush? Not many Im sure! Bill Klein does exactly that in this poker hand from the 2021 Super High Roller Bowl in the PokerGO Studio in Las Vegas. Whats even more impressive is that two of his opponents Alex Foxen and Justin Bonomo have also hit a straight!

In this strategy column, I’ll talk about hands that like to bet in multiway pots. Draws that can comfortably bet and call a raise are generally the ones you want to use. You often want to check your draws that cannot continue against a raise as you will be folding out a decent amount of equity in the pot.
