Coming into the latest sessions of The Big Game on Tour, Jordan Handrich was down to just $18,000 from her original stack of $50,000. However, the Loose Cannon came in ready to fight, and that determination resulted in her recouping some of those earlier losses. 531x52
While Jordan will still have some work to do with some 60 hands remaining, she clawed back to over $34,000, which puts her just one double-up away from a decent profit. According to the Big Game on Tour rules, the Loose Cannon gets to keep any profit over $50k after playing 150 hands.
The way things are looking, she should get a few opportunities to get her chips in the middle. Gerard Pique is currently stuck almost $70,000. Jen Tilly has been running hot and is up over $60,000, and she’s certainly shown that she came to play, getting involved in a bunch of pots so far.

A Rollercoaster Session for the Loose Cannon 85f3m
In some poker sessions, cards simply fall your way, and everything lines up just right for you to win a few big pots. Sometimes, however, you can’t seem to catch any real breaks, and you’re just struggling to keep your head above the water.
For Jordan Handrich, the first of the three Loose Cannons on the new season of The Big Game, it has certainly been the latter scenario so far. While she may have made a mistake or two along the way, most of her losses came from spots that were hard to avoid.
Despite this, she came into the last session with $18,000 in front of her and a fighting spirit. She made this very clear by activating her Bomb Pot Card on the second hand of the session. She managed to scoop that pot, and, albeit it was a small one, it certainly helped her confidence a bit.
The most significant hand she won was one against Andre Akkari. She managed to outrun Andre’s top pair by catching a runner-runner flush, which resulted in a pot just shy of $30,000. She did give some of her winnings back before the end of the night, but she’ll be coming into the penultimate session with $34k in her stack.
Can Anyone Stop Tilly? n615n
Jennifer Tilly has certainly been in the zone for the first three sessions, picking up chips left and right. Despite losing a few pots and hero-calling off Grafton’s big river bet on a scary runout, she remains the biggest winner so far, with just over $60,000 to the good.
Sam Grafton and Griffin Benger are the only other two players in profit, both up around $30,000. Andre Akkari has had a rough ride. Currently stuck $42,000, he’ll be looking to turn things around.
Bringing up the rear is Gerard Pique, who is currently down almost $70k. The soccer star who fell in love with poker certainly has the bankroll to manage the swings that come with the game. Yet, Pique isn’t someone who takes losses lightly, so we can expect him to turn the heat up for the last couple of sessions.
All this is to say that Jordan Handrich will be in good company to do what needs to be done. She still has more than enough time to go on the offensive and get her stack going in the right direction. Should cards decide to cooperate, the Loose Cannon could still walk away a big winner.
