Romanii au luat cu asalt mesele de joc in saptamana precedenta pe Pokerstars, acestia reusind impreuna peste 90 de finale in cadrul turneelor speciale si a festivalului Turbo Series, competitie care astazi a ajuns la jumatate dupa ce s-au finalizat 38 de evenimente. Incepem cu performanta userului picizorr, jucator care s-a mai regasit in cronicile noastre saptamanale, el reusind sa castige turneul $22 Mini Sunday Million pentru frumoasa suma de $20275. Precizam inca o data ca intr-o astfel de competitie nu nivelul de joc face dificila victoria, ci field-ul ingrozitor de peste 10.000 de participanti care poate fi combatut doar printr-un joc constant bun si o concentrare pe masura, dar si multa sansa si situatii bune de joc intr-o competitie de anduranta care se desfasoara pe parcursul noptii. Celelalte doua trepte ale podiumului au fost completate de TLNo.13 cu loc 3 in Turbo Series $11+R si $18017, respectiv Speedy1986, jucator cu multi ani de poker in spate si 2 mese finale Sunday Million care de aceasta data a ocupat locul 2 in $215 Battle Royale Prog. KO si $16704. Am fost aproape de o noua finala in Sunday Million, insa reymaniak s-a oprit pe un nefericit loc 11 pentru $6822.
S-au mai remarcat AlexGC1989 cu succes in $162 Bounty Builder si domnisoara Luciana Manolea cu victorie in Bigger $22, turneu a carui masa finala s-a bucurat de o tripla prezenta romaneasca si care s-a incheiat azi-dimineata in jurul orei 6. Jucatori precum pokierguns, reymaniak sau Alexandru „Can’tStopMee” Belus au reusit sa-si treaca numele de 3 ori, rezultatele complete putand fi urmarite in cele ce urmeaza:

Cea de a 4-a editie Global Poker Index American Poker Awards gazduita de Andaz Hotel in West Hollywood, Los Angeles si prezentata de Pokerstars si-a desemnat azi-noapte castigatorii, distinctiile fiind acordate la 20 de categorii. Daniel Negreanu si Doug Polk, cei care impreuna aveau cele mai multe nominalizari nu au fost recompensati cu nimic, insa probabil scandalul direct in care sunt implicati si dialogurile aprinse purtate in ultima vreme au cantarit decisiv. In schimb au castigat premii Bryn Kenney – titlul de GPI American Player of the Year, Matt Savage – Industry Person of the Year sau Scott Blumstein (WSOP Main Event) pentru performanta anului in poker intr-un turneu.
