  • Erick Lindgren a Young Superstar Won the Poker Cruise Million
    Erick Lindgren A Young Superstar won the Poker Cruise Million When he awoke on the cruise ship, Erick Lindgren was slow to remember the events of the previous day. Then, he looked on the nightstand, shook his head, and started laughing and mumbling to himself. There on the nightstand was a USD 22,000 bar tab from the night before! He had literally stayed up the entire night to party with friends – a ship full of them! In one fell swoop, the entire evening came back to him. After winning USD 1 million, he wanted everyone to celebrate his victory; he bought drinks for every person in the Crow’s Nest Bar for one hour. The Crow’s Nest isn’t just any bar. It is a colossal bar on the top of Holland America’s luxury cruise ship, the MS Ryndam. The room is dramatically enclosed by floor-to-ceiling windows, through which the lapping waves of the ocean can be observed. Furthermore, this wasn’t just any cruise; it was a poker cruise consisting of 546 players and roughly 750 companions, with the only non-poker related people on board being the ship’s crew. All week long, PartyPoker.com and Card Player Cruises put on a fabulous event. Poker players from all over the world partied and enjoyed one another’s company throughout the week. Mike Sexton called it „the world’s greatest poker party.“ Unfortunately for Erick’s pocket, it was quite the party where everyone knew one another and everyone wanted to join in the celebration; USD 22,000 buys lots of drinks, folks! The Guy Everyone Likes Prior to our interview, I walked around the ship asking people to tell me what they thought of Erick.

  • WSOP 2008: Zusammenfassung Events #27 Bis #30
    WSOP 2008: Zusammenfassung Events #27 bis #30 Event #27: USD 1.500 No-Limit Hold’em, Tag zwei Zu Beginn von Tag zwei gab es lange Warteschlangen vor dem Cash-out, denn die zahlreichen Shortstacks verabschiedeten sich im Minutentakt, sodass von den 224 Überlebenden von Tag eins, nach gut 20 Minuten nur noch gut 180 übrig waren. Die Turnierleitung entschied, eine nicht eingeplante Pause von 20 Minuten einzulegen, da die Mitarbeiter an der Kasse mit den Auszahlungen gar nicht so schnell hinterherkamen. Dennoch wurde es ein langer Tag, der um 2:30 Uhr schließlich abgebrochen wurde, da sich immer noch 17 Spieler im Turnier befanden. Jan von Halle, der mit 29.600 Chips gestartet war, schaffte gleich zu Beginn einen Double-up . Im zwölften Level (1.500/3.000, Ante 400) kam es vor dem Flop mit Pocket-Dreien zum all-in gegen A [key:card_spades] K [key:card_spades]. Der Flop brachte zunächst einen König, doch gleich am Turn tauchte die rettende 3 [key:card_hearts] auf und 50outs knackte die Marke von 100.000 in Chips. Nach zwei weiteren gewonnen Pötten mit A Q gegen A K und Pocketqueens gegen K Q ging er sogar mit 200.000 Chips in das Dinnerbreak, das insgesamt nur 66 Spieler erreicht hatten. Auch Team-PokerStars-Pro Humberto Brenes lag zu diesem Zeitpunkt über dem Average von rund 150.000 in Chips. Doch dann passierte das Unglück. Von Halle raiste mit Pocketjacks, der Spieler am Button ging mit 80.000 all-in und der Big Blind schob ebenfalls seine restlichen 28.000 in die Mitte.

  • 466 Make Main Event Day 2A Cut
    WSOP 2008 Day 41: 466 make Main Event Day 2a cut There may have been 1,251 players coming into Day 2a of the 2008 World Series of Poker Main Event on Tuesday, but only 466 came out of it by the time the last hand was dealt for the day. By the end of the day, all eyes were on Brian Schaedlich, from Cleveland, Ohio, who was sitting with one of the most impressive chip leads for a player at the end of a Day 2 that the WSOP has seen in years. He ended the day with about USD 801,000 in chips, and his closest rival is sitting with just USD 397,000. Brandon Adams is sitting in a strong position as well after Day 2a with USD 353,600. The Full Tilt Poker pro had a good stack of more than USD 70k after his Day 1 and said he played a lot of smaller and mid-size pots on Day 2a to continue his climb. „Today I started out playing very fast but then treaded water for a while,“ Adams said in his interview with PokerListings. „I think I ended up the second level of the day with around USD 160,000. I just had a good level and got it all the way up to USD 207,000.“ As he continued to accumulate chips, Adams landed at the ESPN feature table as well, where he had to play under the watchful eyes of the cameras. Adams is a renowned cash-game player who has managed to keep a fairly low tournament profile so far, but his exposure in the Main Event if he goes deep could change all that.
