Lex Veldhuis hosted a ton of home games on PokerStars where his viewers could participate in small online tournaments. One of the returning tournaments was the Friday flipout tournament that took place every Friday. The tournament was an all-in every hand kind of tournament and they added a little twist to it.
One of the more fun side events held here in Grand Casino de Namur has 15-minute levels and the clock pauses after every single level. The players will then all pay five big blinds and they will flip to see who takes it all down. The room explodes every single time and people are very much enjoying themselves.
When they flip all players will be dealt one card face up and the other face down. They will all, one by one, open up the other card after the flop has been dealt. The tournament features a turbo structure and as you can imagine the flips will become more important the longer the tournament goes on.
Sander 'Eklusis' de Vries is a moderator in the Lex Veldhuis Twitch channel. He's sitting in one of the two smaller rooms with not a lot in front of him so we asked how the day was going for him.
''I was doing really well but then I got pocket jacks and I lost to the lovely woman on my left. She found aces and I lost a big chunk of my stack. It's a lot of fun though and the atmosphere is very good. The table is great as well and I hope I can enjoy it a little longer but I don't have a lot of chips left in front of me.''
