Week 5 of the excellent Poker770 Weekend Wonders promotion saw the players battle it out at the virtual felt for a share of $1,500. Who walked away victorious and who was left licking their wounds?

This week’s winner, and therefore recipient of the $225 winner’s prize, was “nurAxiore,” who managed to finish in front of “DjLitzy.”

Special mentions have to go out to “armando47” who has still yet to win one of the rake races but has never finished below third place! “Armando47″ has finished in second place on three separate occasions and third twice, meaning he has pocketed a staggering $825 from this promotion so far!

Another regular grinder is “Roth89,” who managed to keep up his impressive record of finishing in the top five places in each of the Weekend Wonder races that have been completed. The $75 “Roth89″ won in Week 5 takes his total winnings to an impressive $425!

Obrestad was involved in the first notable hand of the evening after raising pre flop with pocket fives.

Lichtenberger three bet with A-4 and flopped top pair on an A-6-7 board. ‘luckychewy’ opted to slow play his hand as both players checked.

Obrestad sensed weakness in Lichtenberger’s post flop check and fired barrels on the turn and river. Lichtenberger called her down on both occasions to snare the 51,300 pot.

Weisner then got involved with Brunson’s infamous 10-2 hand. Brunson met her pre flop raise from the big blind with 6-4.

Brunson called Weisner’s continuation bet on a 5-8-9 board with a gutshot straight draw.

The 77 year-old then led out after turning his straight. Weisner continued her interest in the hand, hoping to hit a higher straight on the river.

‘Callisto 5′ did just that as the Jack hit the felt. Weisner fired a substantial bet and Brunson made the call before mucking his hand.

Weisner also took down the last hand of the evening after three betting Lichtenberger pre flop with Q-J. Lichtenberger went into the tank before folding his pocket fives.
