Suedezul Martin Jacobson, fost campion mondial World Series of Poker in anul 2014 dupa una dintre cele mai dramatice mese finale, in care scandinavul a revenit in joc dintr-un stack foarte mic, a semnat un parteneriat cu brandul 888, alaturandu-se astfel pe o lista selecta de ambasadori care ii include pe Dominik Nitsche, Parker „Tonkaaaa” Talbot, Chris Moorman, Sofia Lovgren si frumoasa brazilianca Vivian Saliba. Jacobson a dat semne inca de la World Series of Poker Europe, desfasurat la Rozvadov in toamna acestui an, ca are o afinitate pentru 888 atunci cand el a fost vazut la mesele de joc purtand un tricou inscriptionat 888 pe toata durata festivalului. Lucrurile s-au concretizat in aceasta saptamana, iar Jacobson s-a declarat incantat de acest parteneriat si ulterior a scris un post scurt pe Twitter: „2018 is going to be one hell of a poker year!”
In anul 2014, Martin Jacobson s-a incununat campion in Las Vegas si a castigat $10.000.000 in Main Event-ul WSOP dupa una dintre cele mai dramatice mese finale din istoria competitiei: atunci suedezul a revenit in joc dintr-un stack foarte mic si intre mainile 58 si 224 ale finalei, Jacobson si-a shovat stackul de 19 ori, ceea ce inseamna in medie un all-in la fiecare 9 maini jucate, supravietuind insa cu brio de fiecare data ajutat si de carti: 9 din cele 19 shove-uri au fost facute cu cel putin un as in mana, iar 7 cu perechi (asi si zecari fiind cele mai bune).

Jucatorul suedez Viktor „Isildur1” Blom a reusit la mijlocul acestei saptamani sa castige un eveniment Winter Series, $2100 Winter Series High – $250k Gtd si un premiu de $63304, insa in decurs de cateva ore el a pierdut banii la mesele de cash, terminand in postura nefericita de cel mai mare pierzator al zilei. Astfel, dupa ce a trecut de un field de 157 de jucatori in turneul mentionat mai sus, Blom a inceput sa joace $50 – $100, $100 – $200 si $200 – $400 PLO 6-max, el lasand o buna parte din bani la EEE27, care i-a luat lui Isildur1 si potul zilei: $50.610. Cei doi sunt la egalitate pe un flop A 3 7 colorat in care amandoi flopeaza top pair aces, insa turn-ul, atunci cand se pun toti banii in joc, il trimite in postura de favorit la castigarea potului pe EEE27 care face 2 perechi odata cu aparitia unui optar. Isildur1 are insa in continuare equity cu open-ended straight draw si overcards, insa river-ul nu este de partea lui in niciunul din cele 2 randuri si astfel potul de $50.610 merge la EEE27.

Isildur1: A T 9 Q
EEE27: J A Q 8

Board: A 3 7 8 K (4)

EEE27 a fost cel mai mare castigator al zilei, el colectand bani si de la alti jucatori precum Sami „Lrslzk” Kelopuro, Laszlo „omaha4rollz” Bujtas, Tom „tjbentham” Bentham, JayP-AA si Venividi1993, iar la final profitul sau a fost de $77,589.

Organizatorii World Series of Poker au anuntat in aceasta luna programul pentru editia a 49-a a Campionatului Mondial de Poker care se desfasoara anual in Las Vegas, in calendar fiind incluse 78 de event-uri la care se va acorda bratara.

Festivalul debuteaza pe 29 mai si se incheie pe 17 iulie, Main Event-ul urmand sa se desfasoare in perioada 2-14 iulie.

Performanta excelenta pentru unul din elevii Scolii de Poker EvilAce, userul „AndreiuuuSSS” reusind sa castige 2 evenimente in cadrul festivalului Winter Series care ruleaza in perioada sarbatorilor de iarna pe Pokerstars si un total al premiilor cumulate ce depaseste $17500. Nu dificultatea turneelor face grea realizarea unei astfel de reusite, ci field-urile babane de jucatori, primul turneu castigat $5.50 Winter Series 02 Low Prog. KO 6max $25kGtd avand 14149 de inregistrari, iar cel de-al doilea $5.50 Winter Series 07 Micro 23040 de inscrisi. Un alt jucator care s-a remarcat in aceasta serie de turnee pana acum a fost Narcis „Narcisus90” Nedelcu, cu masa finala in $109 Winter Series 08 Medium 6max Hyper Turbo Prog. KO – loc 3 $18566 si cu bubble de masa finala in acelasi eveniment, dar categoria superioara de buy-in $1050 Winter Series 08 High 6max Hyper Turbo Prog. KO – loc 7 si $11695. Narcis este un jucator care combina excelent la mesele de joc skillul si agresivitatea controlata, doua calitati importante care asigura succesul in poker.
Cel mai mare scor reusit de romani pana acum la aceasta editie Winter Series ii apartine insa lui Sonny_ro777, victoria din $109 Winter Series 05 Medium Win The Button aducandu-i $29931 in buzunare.

888 a anuntat festivalul XL Blizzard care se va desfasura in perioada 18-28 ianuarie 2018, acesta urmand sa fie alcatuit din 34 de evenimente cu buy-in-uri cuprinse intre $5 si $2100 si un total al premiilor garantate de $3.000.000. Pe toata perioada festivalului ruleaza 3 promotii. Prima va ofera sansa de a castiga $1.000.000 cash: daca castigati doua din cele 34 de evenimente, veti primi automat $1.000. Daca castigati 3, veti incasa $10.000, la 4 evenimente castigate aveti in contul 888 suma aditionala de $100.000. Cine reuseste sa castige 5 evenimente, lucru extrem de greu de realizat, dar nu imposibil, va primi instant $1.000.000 cash.
Cea de a doua promotie face referire la asa-numitul Champion of Champions, un leaderboard virtual care premiaza primii 50 de jucatori clasati cu recompense ce variaza intre un tichet in valoare de $55 si un pachet pentru WSOP Vegas in valoare de $12.000. Jucatorii acumuleaza la fiecare turneu puncte, iar la final cei mai bine 50 de clasati in aceasta ierarhie isi impart premiile puse in joc dupa cum urmeaza:

1 $12,000 WSOP Vegas package
2 $3,000 Crazy 8 WSOP package + $1,050 tournament ticket
3 $3,000 Crazy 8 WSOP package
4-5 $1,050 tournament ticket
6-10 $600 tournament ticket
11-50 $55 tournament ticket

Cea de a treia promotie vine in sprijinul ghinionistilor care sunt eliminati pe bubble-ul de premii al fiecarui eveniment. Astfel, cel care rateaza la mustata intrarea in bani primeste un tichet pentru turneul Bubble of Bubbles, in care masa finala este premiata dupa cum urmeaza:

1 $3,000 Crazy 8 WSOP package
2-4 $160 tournament ticket
5-9 $55 tournament ticket

Pitesteanul Florian Dimitrie Duta a reusit sa aduca pentru Romania singura victorie in cadrul festivalului Pokerstars Championship Praga, dupa ce s-a impus in evenimentul €1k NL Hold’em pentru €50400. Astfel, el il isi continua evolutia buna din ultima luna, dupa ce in urma cu 2 saptamani reusise cea mai buna performanta din cariera dupa un loc 3 in Main Eventul World Series of Poker Circuit Paris pentru €95000. Celelalte doua mese finale au fost doua locuri 3 reusite de specialistul de Pot Limit Omaha Bogdan Capitan in €10k PL Omaha – Championship si un premiu de €41000 si de necunoscutul Ilie Smintanca-Januszewski in €1k NL Hold’em – Single Re-Entry, respectiv €37000. Aproape de masa finala au fost si Cristian Vlad in €550 NL Hold’em – Hyper Turbo – loc 11 si €2200, Adrian Demusca in €1k NL Hold’em – loc 12 si €3200 sau Narcis Nedelcu in PokerStars National Championship cu loc 15 si €15150, insa destinul a hotarat altceva. A fost ultima editie Pokerstars Championship, din 2018 urmand sa se revina la vechiul format European Poker Tour dupa o pauza de doar un an.

Iata mesele finale reusite de ai nostri la Praga:

Florian Dimitrie Duta €1k No Limit Hold’em 1/259 €50400
Bogdan Capitan €10k Pot Limit Omaha Championship 3/19 €41000
