  • WPT World Championship: Kidpoker Mit Denkwürdiger Hand Ausgeschieden
    WPT World Championship: KidPoker mit denkwürdiger Hand ausgeschieden Der dritte Turniertag der WPT World Championsip im Bellagio von Las Vegas hatte es in sich. 188 Spieler waren an die Tische in der Fontana Lounge zurückgekehrt und es ging zunächst darum, die 100 bezahlten Plätze zu erreichen, um sich ein Stück vom insgesamt $ 13.216.250 großen Preispool zu sichern. Das hielt die Spieler allerdings nicht davon ab, von Beginn an viel zu riskieren. In den ersten beiden Levels schrumpfte das Feld auf 132 zusammen und zu den Ausgeschiedenen gehörten unter anderem Dario Minieri, Hevad Khan, Humberto Brenes und Barry Greenstein vom Team PokerStars Pro sowie Doyle Brunson, Dan Harrington, Mike Matusow, Dave Ulliott, Scotty Nguyen, Barny Boatman, Kathy Liebert und später auch der letzte deutsche Spieler Andreas Krause. Daniel Negreanu, der mit 154.600 Chips in den Tag gestartet war, erlebte ein unglaubliches Auf und Ab. Den Großteil seines Stacks büßte er mit Pocketqueens ein, nachdem die Chips vor dem Flop in die Mitte wanderten und sein Gegner im Showdown [King of clubs] [King of hearts] umdrehte. 35.000 blieben dem Team-PokerStars-Pro noch, doch er schaffte es tatsächlich, diesen Stapel im weiteren Verlauf wieder auf 200.000 aufzubauen und die Moneybubble sicher zu überstehen. Die letztlich entscheidende Hand wird dem Kanadier aber noch lange in Erinnerung bleiben. Gleich vier Spieler sahen den Flop mit [Ten of hearts] [Nine of diamonds] [Four of hearts] und Brian Rast feuerte 65.000 in die Mitte. Beeindrucken konnte er seine Gegner damit aber nicht, im Gegenteil: Negreanu ging mit 189.000 all-in, gefolgt von Dino French mit 195.000 und Saifuddin Ahmad mit ungefähr 290.000 in Chips.

  • WSOP 2008: Zusammenfassung Der Events #36 Bis #38
    WSOP 2008: Zusammenfassung der Events #36 bis #38 Event #36: USD 1.500 No-Limit Hold’em, Tag zwei Beim mittlerweile vierten USD 1.500-No-Limit-Hold’em-Event waren die 187 Spieler für Tag zwei bereits im Geld und diesmal waren auch noch ein paar bekanntere Namen vertreten, wie beispielsweise Team-PokerStars-Pro Luca Pagano, Freddy Deeb, Aaron Kanter, Danny Wong, Isaac Haxton oder Dag Martin Mikkelsen. Ganz nach vorn reichte es für die meisten von ihnen allerdings nicht. Luca Pagano schied auf Platz 149 aus, Mikkelsen wurde 138. (beide kassierten USD 3.340), Freddy Deeb 80. (USD 6.012) und Isaac Haxton erwischte es auf Rang 66 (USD 7.014). Kanter und Wong werden wir dagegen am Final Table wiedersehen. 2005 bekam Aaron Kanter den Spitznamen „The Big Killer“ verpasst. Er spielte damals einen sensationellen Main Event und bugsierte unter anderem Titelverteidiger Greg Raymer sowie Phil Ivey aus dem Turnier. Damals hatte er sich online qualifiziert, belegte schließlich den vierten Platz und kassierte USD 2.000.000 Preisgeld. Zwar spielte er auch danach immer wieder Liveturniere, sein Geld verdient er allerdings weiter beim Onlinepoker. Am Freitag machte er jetzt aber wieder bei der WSOP auf sich aufmerksam und hat den Sprung an den Finaltisch beim USD 1.500 No-Limit Hold’em geschafft. Mit 200.000 in Chips ist er allerdings der Shortstack und hat zudem harte Konkurrenz. Danny Wong aus Los Angeles zum Beispiel, der in seiner noch jungen Karriere schon fast zwei Millionen an Preisgeldern abgeräumt hat. Darunter ein zweiter Platz beim Main Event des Bellagio Cup II im Jahr 2006 für USD 561.115 sowie Siege beim Five Diamond World Poker Classic und bei der Turnierserie Legends of Poker 2007.

  • Hellmuth-Jelassi Skirmishes Add Spice to the World Series of Poker
    Hellmuth-Jelassi skirmishes add spice to the World Series of Poker Las Vegas – As the field of 2,378 players at Day 2B of the World Series of Poker Main Event dwindled to 855 Wednesday, players like Raja Kattamuri, Alexander Kostristyn and Victor Ramdin climbed their way up the leaderboard. But by the sheer force of their personalities, two players with fewer chips stole the show with a drama of their own. Phil Hellmuth, playing Phil Hellmuth, was the lead character. Ramzi Jelassi, the plucky poker player who wouldn’t back down, served as Hellmuth’s foil. And the rest of the players at the table had supporting roles. The fireworks began when Hellmuth, wearing a leather jacket over his UltimateBet „Poker Brat“ jersey and UltimateBet baseball hat, decided to push Las Vegas‘ Bobby Law all in with a sizable bet. „You think you’re just going to keep running over me?“ Hellmuth asked. Law, wearing a short-sleeved Green Bay Packers golf shirt, clearly had a good hand and didn’t know what to do. „You’ve got queens,“ Hellmuth said. „I know you’ve got queens.“ Then Hellmuth called for a clock and Law pushed back. „Everyone has been taking an hour to make a decision,“ Law said. Hellmuth quickly withdrew his request and started talking to his wife, seated at a podium immediately behind him. „Honey, honey, warm up the car,“ Hellmuth said, as Law continued to ponder his decision. Finally, Law mucked his hand, and Hellmuth revealed he’d bluffed Law out of the pot with a two and a four.
