Arhive: Stiri si Evenimente

Dupa etapele desfasurate in New Jersey, Londra, Rozvadov, Chile si Marbella, primul sezon al festivalului Pokerstars Festival, cel care inlocuieste fostul Eureka, ajunge la jumatatea programului odata cu etapa de la Seul care se va desfasura in perioada 14-24 iulie. La aceasta etapa putem trece in revista Main Event-ul cu buy-in de $1440, HighRoller-ul cu intrare de $3800, NLHE Megastack cu acelasi buy-in de $1440 ca si in Main Event sau turnee mai micute precum Pokerstars Super Deep $580 buy-in, Pokerstars Cup $385 intrare in turneu sau Pokerstars Open – $290 buy-in. Desi pare dificil pentru romani sa participe la astfel de competitii din cauza distantei si a costurilor ridicate, in eventualitatea in care exista jucatori din Romania care sunt tentati sa incerce aventura sud-coreeana, le uram mult succes si pe aceasta cale amintim ca in Chile, o alta destinatie „exotica” care si-a facut aparitia in calendarul primului sezon, romanul Aurel Bogdan a fost foarte aproape de o masa finala in Main Event, terminand pe locul 14 competitia.

Iata etapele care s-au disputat si cele programate pana la final:

WSOP a continuat ieri cand s-au acordat alte patru bratari, trei castigate de americani si cea de a 4-a revenindu-i unui britanic, iar cu aceasta ocazie am intrat in ultima treime de concurs, dar totodata si cea mai interesanta cu numeroase evenimente cap de afis printre care si Main Event-ul. Printre cei care au reusit sa isi treaca in palmares o astfel de bratara se afla americanul Mohsin Charania, castigatorul EPT-ului Monte Carlo din anul 2012, care a reusit sa se impuna in evenimentul 52 – $1,500 No-Limit Hold’em si sa isi adjudece premiul cuvenit locului 1 ($364,438) sau britanicul Max Silver, care a iesit invingator in evenimentul 53: $3,000 Limit Hold’em 6-Handed si un premiu de $172,645. Au mai castigat bratari americanii Chris Bolek – victorie in evenimentul 50: $1,500 No-Limit Hold’em BOUNTY si $266,646, respectiv Bryce Yockey – succes in event-ul 51: $10,000 Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better Championship si $511,147, toti cei 4 enumerati aflandu-se la primul lor succes la WSOP. Odata cu victoria lui Max Silver, Marea Britanie a urcat pe 2 in clasamentul pe bratari egaland Rusia (fiecare cate 4), insa liderul USA s-a detasat la 36 bratari, castigand 2 treimi din evenimentele disputate pana acum. Astazi se va desfasura ziua 1D din evenimentul 19 – THE GIANT – $365 No-Limit Hold’em, acolo unde Valentin Vornicu este ChipLeader cu o evolutie excelenta in ziua 1B, iar poimaine va debuta $50,000 Poker Players Championship (6-Handed), turneu de interes major in care se vor inscrie vedetele pokerului mondial si bogatasii prezenti in aceste zile in Vegas.

Simpaticul clujean Cosmin „moiadcosmin” Joldis a fost eliminat cu putine momente in urma din evenimentul 47 – $1,500 No-Limit Hold’em MONSTER STACK pe locul 12, performanta pentru care a fost recompensat cu cel mai mare castig din cariera – $75,915. Joldis era al 3-lea in ultimii 20 de jucatori astazi la startul zilei 4 de concurs, iar pana la eliminare traseul sau in cele cateva ore de joc a fost un adevarat roller-coaster, cu up-and-down-uri rapide in care cobora in stack mic si apoi urca din nou intre intre primele stackuri. Inaintea mainii decisive, romanul era al 5-lea la fise cu 9,520,000, stackurile celor 12 jucatori fiind insirate intre 13,500,000 – liderul Stoyan Obreshkov si 3,600,000 short-stacker-ul Yuliyan Kolev.
Soseste mana eliminarii: la blinduri 150000/300000 si 50.000 ante, Thomas Ryan deschide din buton la 700,000 dintr-un stack de 10,500,000 fise, iar Joldis da call din big blind. Pe un flop 10 (romb) 7 (romb) 6 (negru), Cosmin joaca cu check-raise si mareste bet-ul de 700.000 al lui Ryan la 1,800,000. Ryan face 4-bet shove, iar Joldis da call pentru restul stackului de 8,700,000.

Joldis: 8trefla 9rosu
Ryan: Qromb Jromb

Cu un puternic draw de culoare, americanul Thomas Ryan il pune in pericol de eliminare pe Joldis cu toate ca acesta a plecat nuts pe flop, iar totul se incheie pentru roman cand apare Asul de romb pe turn, iar mai apoi un river blank 3 trefla. Joldis paraseste turneul pe locul 12 pentru $75,915, in vreme ce Ryan devine noul ChipLeader cu un stack urias de 19,900,000 fise.

Felicitari Cosmin si succes in continuare la WSOP!

„Some people have to learn, some people wait their turn, some people are born to be champions” sunt cateva versuri, ultimul dintre ele potrivindu-se ca o manusa lui Florin Ionut „Rebel FishAK” Ilies, un regular de elita roman care in ultimele 2 luni a dat lovitura dupa lovitura: dupa $80.000 castigati intr-un turneu foarte dificil – $700 Super-Sized Progressive KO, alti $58.000 la FT in SCOOP-01-H [Phase 2] – $5M Gtd, turneu care pana la urma i-a lasat un gust amar avand in vedere ca locul 1 depasea $1M, $45.000 pe 888 in $200.000 Tune Up – XL Inferno si $43.947 saptamana trecuta in $1050 Super Tuesday, ieri spre zorii zilei soarta i-a suras din nou in cadrul aceluiasi turneu: loc 3 si $31206 intr-un mtt cu 300 de intrari si 44 de locuri premiate, la care s-au mai inregistrat ASUL-DG, Narcis Nedelcu si Andrei Boghean. Pe langa toate aceste performante, in ultimele 2 saptamani, Florin Ilies a mai luat 2 pachete de $6000 pentru Barcelona, un pachet de $2000 pentru Bucuresti, a iesit pe 15 in $1050 Sunday Grand si pe 17 in $215 Sunday Supersonic, astfel ca se poate spune ca jucatorul originar din Suceava ruleaza fantastic. Florin Ionut e tiparul perfect de jucator de top pentru care vorbesc doar performantele din ce in ce mai numeroase, un model de urmat pentru multi jucatori care vor sa isi croiasca un drum intr-o meserie, care, trebuie sa o recunoastem, nu e deloc una usoara.

Iata rezultatele mesei finale ale celei mai recente editii $1050 Super Tuesday:

Americanul Bryan Yoon a devenit al 4-lea milionar de la aceasta editie WSOP, castigand totodata a treia sa bratara din cariera in evenimentul 47: $1,500 No-Limit Hold’em MONSTER STACK si un premiu fabulos de $1,094,349. Masa finala aproape ca nu a avut istoric, a fost foarte scurta cu doar 106 maini jucate, in care toti jucatorii au fost eliminati de cei care aveau sa joace heads-up: bielorusul Ihar Soika i-a scos pe primii 5, iar Brian Yoon pe urmatorii 3 si pe Soika. O mana mai interesanta s-a petrecut atunci cand mai erau 5 jucatori, Yoon a shovat din cutoff, iar Yuliyan Kolev si Ryan Mcknight au dat call-ul din blinduri, la showdown cei trei aratand:

Yoon: A8
Kolev: KJ
Mcknight AQ

Yoon flopeaza un 8 si ii elimina la pachet pe cei doi jucatori, declarand ulterior: „Am pus presiune pe blinduri si am avut parte de un flop norocos”.
In cadrul acestui eveniment cu 6716 jucatori inscrisi, romanul Cosmin Joldis a terminat pe locul 12 si a castigat $75,915, clujeanul fiind eliminat dupa o mana in care a pornit nuts pe flop contra unui draw de culoare. Thomas Ryan, jucatorul care l-a eliminat pe Joldis in acea mana si care devenise ChipLeader masiv cu aproape 20.000.000 fise, a terminat turneul abia pe locul 7 – $163,087, in vreme ce pe 6 il vedem in ierarhia finala pe americanul Maurice Hawkins, singurul jucator cu 10 inele WSOPC si cel care declarase in luna mai ca in aceasta vara doreste sa castige premii in valoare de $7.000.000. Hawkins e destul de departe de obiectiv, desi a reusit 2 mese finale pana acum la WSOP, premiile sale insumeaza putin peste $270.000, insa ramane de vazut daca americanul va juca turneele de peste $10k ramase pana la final, inclusiv $50,000 Poker Players Championship (6-Handed), competitie in care jucatorii se vor bate pentru premii uriase si evident Main Event-ul.
Exceptand evenimentul prezentat pana acum, s-au mai decis alte 3 evenimente, toate castigate de americani: Nathan Gamble $223,339 in evenimentul 46 – $1,500 Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better, Chris Vitch $320,103 in evenimentul 48 – $10,000 Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo 8 or Better Championship si Luis Calvo $362,185 in evenimentul 49 – $3,000 Pot-Limit Omaha 6-Handed, Vitch fiind singurul din cei 3 care mai reusise sa castige o bratara pana la acest succes.
Evenimentele micute care se desfasoara in aceste zile sunt linistea dinaintea furtunii, pe 2 iulie fiind programat $50,000 Poker Players Championship (6-Handed), pe 5 iulie $25,000 Pot-Limit Omaha 8-Handed High Roller, iar mai apoi pe 8 iulie urmand sa debuteze Main Event-ul de $10.000 buy-in.
In clasamentul bratarilor pe natiuni, Statele Unite ale Americii s-a impus in 33 de evenimente pana acum, urmatoarea clasata fiind la distanta uriasa, Rusia pe locul 2 cu 4 bratari, in vreme ce treapta a treia a podiumului e completata de Marea Britanie cu 3 bratari. S-au acordat cu 2 bratari mai mult decat numarul de evenimente si asta din cauza celor 2 evenimente pe echipe castigate de cuplurile Liv Boeree (GBR) / Igor Kurganov (RUS) si Aditya Sushant (IND) / Nipun Java (IND).

Iata asadar clasamentul bratarilor pe natiuni, castigatorii de pana acum si programul in continuare:

1. USA – 33 bratari
2. Rusia – 4 bratari
3. Marea Britanie – 3 bratari
4. India – 2 bratari
Israel – 2 bratari
5. Australia – o bratara
Canada – o bratara
Germania – o bratara
Spania – o bratara
Suedia – o bratara
Venezuela – o bratara

Ne apropiem de inca o masa finala la WSOP acolo unde in evenimentul 47: $1500 No-Limit Hold’em Monster Stack, romanul Cosmin Joldis are al 3-lea stack din turneu – 7,935,000 fise, cu doar 20 de jucatori ramasi in concurs din totalul de 6716 inscrisi. Singurii doi jucatori care au reusit stack mai mare decat Cosmin sunt bulgarul Stoyan Obreshkov – 11,300,000 si americanul Stanley Lee – 8,980,000, insa stack-urile celor aflati dupa Cosmin sunt destul de apropiate, primii 10 avand cu totii peste 5.000.000 fise. Miza este uriasa intrucat premiile puse in joc in partea de varf sunt colosale, cu $1,094,349 pentru locul 1, in vreme ce primul eliminat din cei 20 va pleca acasa cu $37,831.
Joldis este un jucator excelent de turnee, atat pe internet cat si live, anul trecut el reusind sa termine Main Event-ul WSOP pe locul 85 pentru $67,855, cel mai mare premiu al carierei sale de pana acum, insa sunt toate sansele sa isi bata acest castig daca va face masa finala la evenimentul despre care am vorbit.
Turneul se va relua diseara de la blinduri 50000/100000 si Ante: 15000, iar pe aceasta cale ii dorim mult succes lui Cosmin, care daca va rula bine, ar putea sa aduca prima bratara pentru Romania din istoria participarilor noastre la WSOP.

Iata situatia din eveniment si premiile puse in joc:

Dupa loviturile date in $700 Super-Sized Sunday Progressive KO ($80.000), SCOOP-01-H [Phase 2] – $5M Gtd (58.822$) si $200.000 Tune Up – XL Inferno pe 888 ($45.000) in ultimele 2 luni, suceveanul Florin Ionut „Rebel FishAK” Ilies mai loveste o data, acum el reusind heads-up in probabil cel mai dificil turneu de pe internet, $1050 Super Tuesday, loc 2 si $43947. In turneu s-au inregistrat 314 jucatori, iar alti 3 jucatori din Romania au luat loc la mese, fara insa a reusi sa intre in bani: ALIN76poker, Razvan „razvyqq” Belea si Andrei „ragAAAila19” Boghean. Florin Ionut Ilies este unul dintre cei mai buni jucatori romani de online, cu multe rezultate notabile de-a lungul timpului in turnee cu field-uri foarte dificile si greu de batut.
Remarcam in continuare faptul ca din top 10, 4 rezultate vin din EvilAce Poker: antrenorii Alexandru „alexxt7” Farcasanu loc 1 in $109 Bounty Builder si $25909, respectiv Adrian „pora adrian” Pora loc 1 in Big $55 si $8453 si elevii apop33, runner-up in $27 Saturday Eliminator Prog. KO – $6242, unul dintre cele mai bune turnee care ruleaza sambata si CipiV cu victorie in $16.50 Bounty Builder si $6101. De-altfel Farcasanu mai are 2 rezultate care apar in ierarhie, loc 3 in Hot $44 ($3202) si loc 8 in Big $215 ($2019), toate cele 3 reusite ale sale venind in cursul zilei de ieri. Si alti jucatori din EvilAce Poker s-au remarcat, machorazvica, likasor09, gogosaru2005, Mookishor sau cristianalbu fiind prezenti printre premianti in saptamana trecuta pe Pokerstars.
In fine, treapta a treia a podiumului a fost ocupata de Sergiu „seserman01” Cornea, cu victorie in Big $109 si $20420, tot Cornea fiind cel care inchide clasamentul cu loc 4 in Big $27 si $1027.

In toata istoria participarilor jucatorilor nostri la World Series of Poker – Campionatul Mondial de Poker (WSOP), Romania a reusit sa obtina cateva performante notabile, 3 dintre aceste scoruri importante apartinandu-i lui Mihai Manole, jucatorul care ocupa prima pozitie in clasamentul HendonMob Romania si singurul roman care a trecut de $2.000.000 incasari in circuitul live. Manole a reusit doua mese finale la WSOP cu scoruri remarcabile, un loc 3 in 2010 la evenimentul $1,500 No Limit Hold’em si $268,189 si un loc 5 in 2008 la evenimentul $2,000 No Limit Hold’em si $155,012 premiu. Cel de-al 3-lea premiu al sau care figureaza in top 10 a fost inregistrat in 2012 in cadrul Main Event-ului, romanul terminand turneul pe locul 122 pentru $52,718.
Cel mai mare premiu romanesc ii apartine insa lui Ionel Anton, cel care la editia din 2011 a facut heads-up in evenimentul $2,500 No Limit Hold’em, obtinand un castig de $428,140. In rest, nu putem sa nu remarcam locul 22 bifat de Toni Judet in 2008 in Main Event si $257,333 sau new-entry-ul izbutit saptamana aceasta de Vlad Darie cu loc 6 in $1,000 No Limit Hold’em si $52,932. De remarcat ca 5 din cele 10 scoruri au fost reusite in Main Event, iar toate rezultatele s-au consemnat dupa 2008, an in care s-a desfasurat cea de a 39-a editie WSOP.
In proportie de aproape 100%, cele 4 mese finale reusite de Ionel Anton, Mihai Manole (doua) si Vlad Darie sunt si singurele pe care Romania le-a bifat la World Series of Poker in toata istoria de 48 de ani a festivalului. Si Dan Murariu a fost aproape de o masa finala, in 2011 el terminand pe locul 11 evenimentul $1,000 No Limit Hold’em si un premiu de $19,939.

Vlad Darie a reusit in cursul noptii trecute sa faca prima masa finala a sa la World Series of Poker (WSOP), clasandu-se al 6-lea in evenimentul 37 – $1,000 No-Limit Hold’em si castigand totodata un premiu de $52.932. WSOP noteaza pe blogul sau ca atunci cand mai erau 14 jucatori, Vlad Darie a reusit sa sparga asii cu popii impotriva lui Chad Layne si si-a dublat stack-ul, ajungand la 1,550,000 fise. Darie a intrat la masa neoficiala de 10 oameni cu al 5-lea stack (740.000 fise), in spatele americanilor Chris Johnson, Thomas Reynolds, Michael Gathy si Eric Blair (cei 4 avand stackuri cuprinse intre 2.200.000 fise si 1.130.000). Dupa eliminarile foarte rapide ale lui Deveau, Raemaekers si Eveslage pe locurile 10, 9 si 8, toate in decurs de mai putin de 20 de minute, jocul in 7 a continuat 120 de maini pana s-a produs o alta eliminare, cea a lui Chris Johnson pe locul 7. Din pacate, in mai putin de 10 minute a fost eliminat si Vlad Darie, dupa o situatie in care la blinduri 25.000 – 50.000 si 10.000 ante, Reynolds deschide din utg cu min-raise, James Hughes da call, iar Vlad Darie din small-blind shoveaza 10 blinduri cu 77. Reynolds da pass, insa Hughes joaca tricky valetii si da call-ul, iar boardul nu aduce surprize si il elimina pe roman pe locul 6 si $52,932.
Cat despre Daniel Negreanu, canadianul nu a prins masa finala la evenimentul 38 – $10,000 Limit Hold’em Championship, terminand al 13-lea si un premiu de $17,894.
