Poker

When you enter a $27 poker tournament and are facing a decision for a $60,000+ prize, it's understandable if the palms get a little sweaty. It's life-changing money for many, so it often makes sense to lock in a deal and avoid any heartache. A three-way deal in today's SCOOP event could have locked in a nice prize and avoided some nervous moments for our final three players, but a little greed got in the way, allowing pierrec_m to come through to take the lot in an impressive victory. SCOOP Event #36-L was a $27 No Limit Holdem event that allowed each player one rebuy and one add-on. A huge field of 8,415 players contributed 5,362 rebuys and another 3,708 add-ons to create a massive prize pool of $429,256.75 to smash the guarantee. Finishing in the top 1,080 players was enough to make the money while first prize was a massive $64,394.18. Team PokerStars Pros Fatima de Melo, Nacho Barbero, Naoya Kihara, Marcin Horecki, Christian de León, Chad Brown, Bertrand Grospellier, Martin Hrubý, Randy Lew, George Danzer, David Williams, Grzegorz Mikielewicz and George Lind were all spotted in the lobby, but sadly all fell short of the money. As did Adamyid from the United Kingdom who bubbled in 1,081st place to leave everyone else with at least $90.14 for their efforts. Dutchman Lex Veldhuis was the only red spade to cash in this one with his 352nd place worth $163.11. Simultaneous eliminations across the final two tables saw our final table start with just eight players. Interestingly both players met their demise with ace-queen. umbroSS shoved [ad][qs] but lost the preflop race against OrangemanXD's pocket sevens while at the same time, zebest_666 went with [ad][qd] but ran into pierrec_m's [Kd][Kc]. The double elimination saw our final table look as follows: Final Table Line up Seat 1: pierrec_m (12,475,636 in chips) Seat 2: GodsTeacher (8,501,150 in chips) Seat 3: meteze (8,590,707 in chips) Seat 5: kambera560 (4,376,990 in chips) Seat 6: OrangemanXD (5,429,875 in chips) Seat 7: BBCboom (4,863,579 in chips) Seat 8: t8ofDiamonds (1,878,091 in chips) Seat 9: ZebMcCracken (6,338,972 in chips) pierrec_m was out in front as t8ofDiamonds was the short stack, but it would be kambera560 first to go. Three players saw a flop of [5s][2h][4h] with a bet from BBCboom called by both ZebMcCracken and kambera560. The turn brought the [2c] and BBCboom fired again. ZebMcCracken folded but kambera560 made the call. When the river landed the [9s], BBCboom checked it over to kambera560 who moved all in. BBCboom made the call with [8h][8c] which proved to be a great call as kambera560 flashed [kh][qh] for a busted flush draw. kambera560 picked up $5,151.08 for 8th place. ZebMcCracken pulled some chips back with a big double up through pierrec_m when outkicking the chip leader as both players hit top pair, while t8ofDiamonds joined in the fun with a fortunate double up holding a dominated ace against meteze. It was a cooler that would cause the next elimination as GodsTeacher ran into a monster: RSS readers click through to see replay Big Slick was no match for the Cowboys as GodsTeacher was bundled out in 7th place for $9,229.02. BBCboom was booming with the chip lead, although meteze closed the gap, winning two healthy pots at showdown against the chip leader. pierrec_m looked like being next to go when all in preflop with pocket jacks against the pocket queens of meteze, but the poker Gods had other ideas: RSS readers click through to see replay pierrec_m was lucky to be alive but t8ofDiamonds wasn't so fortunate. t8ofDiamonds was all in preflop from the small blind with [Ad][Jh] and looked set to double up through ZebMcCracken who called in the big blind with [ks][jd] but again it was a cruel board as it landed [Kh][Qs][Qh][3d][6c] to pair ZebMcCracken's king and eliminate t8ofDiamonds in 6th place for $13,306.95. Just moments later and OrangemanXD was all in preflop for just under fourteen big blinds from the small blind w

There have been a number of already-decorated players who have proven themselves again by doing well during this year's SCOOP, and Event #36-M, the $215 no-limit hold'em "1R1A" event, gave us yet another example. "What's the chance?" some might ask, that another WSOP bracelet holder would be winning a SCOOP watch -- like David "Whooookidd" Baker did just yesterday -- but knowing that poker is a skill game, we know such occurrences shouldn't be surprising. Speaking of chance, it was ChancesCU -- a.k.a. the accomplished pro player Chance Kornbuth -- who again helped further the cause for poker being a skill game by winning Event #36-M and a nifty $112,558.29 first prize. From 1,430 to 18 The tourney offered players the option to take a single re-buy if needed then an add-on after two hours of play. Most did both, as 1,030 re-buys were snapped up and 909 add-ons taken, thus building a total prize pool of $673,800 -- close to twice the event's $350K guarantee, with the top 180 finishers scheduled to split the loot. By the six-hour mark they were down to just over 300 players remaining, with Chance "ChanceCU" Kornuth having already opened up some space between himself and the rest of the field by building a stack of more than 142,000, nearly 40,000 ahead of the chasing pack. Team Online member Mickey "mement_mori" Petersen was also on the front page of the counts at that point, claiming a spot just inside the top 20, with Team PokerStars Pros Chad "ChadBrownPRO" Brown, Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier, Lex Veldhuis, and Jose "nachobarbero" Barbero also still with chips. About an hour-and-a-half later they'd played down to 180 players and the cash, with talonaquiles having moved out in front with more than 227,000. All five of the red-spade sporting PokerStars team players were still there, too, with Veldhuis having moved up and into the top 10. Play continued into the evening, with Chad Brown hanging on with a short stack for a while before busting in 109th ($1,212.84). The field shrunk below a hundred, then just before the nine-hour break Jose Barbero met an untimely end in 74th place ($1,482.36) after running [Ac][Kh] into IfoolU's [Ah][As]. Shortly thereafter Mickey Petersen hit the rail as well in 71st ($1,549.74) after getting his short stack in with [Ac][9d] against ElyaGer727's [Jh][9h], then watching three hearts flop to give his opponent a winning flush. The field was whittled further down to 50 players, with both ElkY and Veldhuis having moved into the top 10 of the counts while Rhys "floppinhel" Jones had pushed into the lead with more than 540,000. Soon enough the two Team PokerStars Pros and one-time kickboxing opponents found themselves at the same table chatting about StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm and Dota 2 as the tourney continued and field continued to shrink. By the 12-hour mark just 25 were left, with Chance "ChanceCU" Kornuth back in first (with nearly 790,000), Grospellier in seventh (with just under 500,000), and Veldhuis in 20th (with almost 245,000). An hour after that they were down to 18, with Kornuth still on top as the only player over 1 million chips with ElkY in fourth position and Veldhuis in 12th. Kornuth continued to build on his lead over the next hour as the next six players fell, with Mike "munchenHB" Telker (18th), TUM19 (17th), and alexandrapau (16th) each earning $3,234.24, and Nick "FU_15" Mamoine (15th), *krasav4ik* (14th), and triantafill (13th) taking away $4,480.77 apiece. From 12 to 9 It was just after the 13-hour break that Veldhuis ended up committing the last of his chips -- just under five big blinds -- with [Kh][9c] against ChanceCU's [Kc][Jh], and when the board rolled out [4c][2h][4s][5c][Th], Veldhuis was out in 12th. Veldhuis tweeted the news afterwards: @RaSZi: "Busted in 12th. Painfully carddead for the last 2-3 hours. Pretty crazy. Still good day though I guess. Big day tomorrow. #scoop" Team PokerStars Pro Lex Veldhuis Soon after ChanceCU also kn

Horse racing has its origins with the ancient Greeks, but British royalty always held a unique fondness for thoroughbred racing, which is why it was once dubbed the "Sport of Kings." In the technologically advanced 21st Century, the current "sport of kings" is online poker, which has its own version of a high-stakes "horse race" that tests mastery at mixed games. The final table for SCOOP Event #37-H included a trio of players seeking a second 2013 SCOOP title. Team PokerStars Pro George Danzer has two SCOOP victories on his resume, including a victory in #12-H (NL 2-7 Draw). Meanwhile, "highland" had no time to celebrate his SCOOP victory the previous night in Event #31-H (NL Knockout). Earlier this week, Russia's aDrENalin710 won Event #27-M (Triple Draw). One of them was destined to win another SCOOP title. But which one? As fate would have it, Danzer, aDrENalin710, and highland were the last three players left standing, but highland knocked out Danzer and thwarted his quest at a third SCOOP title. With two remaining, highland was heads-up with aDrENalin710. The winner would go home with a second SCOOP title this week (with higland seeking two titles in consecutive days). When the dust settled, highland was denied a multiple SCOOP victory, as aDrENalin710 ran away with a triumphant win in Event #37-H and won a second SCOOP this week. The entire field in "high" version of H.O.R.S.E. was a veritable who's who of the world's elite mixed-game specialists. SCOOP Event #37-H $2,100 H.O.R.S.E. attracted 107 runners who boosted the prize pool to $214,00, which more than doubled the initial $100,000 guarantee. Only the top 12 places won prize money with $58,315 set aside to the eventual champion. Team PokerStars Pros participating in this event included George Danzer, Chad Brown, Eugene Katchalov, Humberto Brenes, Nacho Barbero, and ElkY. PokerStars Team Online taking a shot at a SCOOP title included Jorj95, nkeyno, talonchick, and mement_Mori. None of them would advance to the money. Only Team PokerStars Pros George Danzer and Chad Brown cashed in this event. Danzer went the deepest with another final table and he was on a distinct mission to take down his third SCOOP title and win a third champion's watch. Team Pro George Danzer trying to win a third SCOOP The money bubble burst when blanconegro was knocked out in 13th. Team PokerStars Pro Chad Brown busted in 12th place ($5,885) during a round of Hold'em when his [Qc][6c] lost to aDrENalin710's [As][Jh]. Scott "gunning4you" Seiver went out next in 11th place when his [Ah][Kh] was run down by PearlJammer's [9d][7d]. With ten players remaining, Pearljammer took the lead with 100K. ImaLucSac bubbled off the final table in ninth place during Stud, when highland won the pot with [As][Ks][3c][Ts][Ad][9h][8h] and a pair of Aces versus ImaLucSac's [Kh][Th][Ac][3h][Tc][Js][2s] and his pair of tens. With ImaLucSac's exit in ninth, the final table of eight was set. SCOOP Event #37-H - Final Table Chip Counts: Seat 1: AceQuad (59,881) Seat 2: CoooKay (21,284) Seat 3: skalexjung (54,367) Seat 4: aDrENalin710 (66,825) Seat 5: PearlJammer (92,850) Seat 6: GeorgeDanzer (29,829) Seat 7: NoraFlum (90,594) Seat 8: highland (119,370) The final table commenced during Level 34. Blinds were 2K/4K during a round of Stud. Canada's highland sat on the big stack with 119K, while PearlJammer was second overall with 92.8K, and CoooKay brought up the rear as the short stack with 21K. To say the final table was stacked with a plethora of talent is an understatement. A trio of players at this final table were seeking multiple SCOOP titles. Danzer had won an event last week (and has 2 career SCOOP and 2 WCOOP titles and needs a TCOOP to secure an elusive Triple COOP). A couple of days ago, aDrENalin710 took down Event #27-M. Plus, just last evening, highland binked Event #31-H. AceQuad is en feugo. He made six SCOOP final tables over the last week including two this evening. Although AceQ

David "WhooooKidd" Baker was looking for his second SCOOP title in a matter of days as another mixed game event produced a fascinating SCOOP final table, but in the end Baker would fall short with Russia's Mitorun emerging with the title and almost twenty grand in prize money. It was Event #37-M of the SCOOP schedule with the $215 HORSE event bringing a talented field of 567 players to build a prize pool of $113,400. That was almost double the advertised guarantee with the top 72 players set to cash and the top prize worth $21,432.60. Team PokerStars Pros Marcel Luske, David Williams, Mickey Petersen, Nacho Barbero, Eugene Katchalov, Bertrand Grospellier, George Lind, Marcin Horecki, Adrienne Rowsome, George Danzer, Naoya Kihara and Chad Brown all fell short of the money, along with Taknapotin from Canada who bubbled this one in 73rd place as the remaining players had locked up a minimum $357.21 pay day. James "Andy_McLEOD" Obst was eliminated in 10th place before korjae's pair of sevens in Stud couldn't improve enough to better YordanPetrov's pair of eights. Korjae was out in 9th place as our final table line up was set: Final Table Line up Seat 1: Tarzancev (354,978 in chips) Seat 2: David "WhooooKidd" Baker (653,607 in chips) Seat 3: Fred_Brink (164,036 in chips) Seat 4: Mitorun (425,322 in chips) Seat 5: YordanPetrov (372,245 in chips) Seat 6: holtekila (183,433 in chips) Seat 7: Ulett_23 (87,814 in chips) Seat 8: guns_n_fight (593,565 in chips) The chip leader was none other than David "WhooooKidd" Baker who continued his cracking SCOOP series after winning his second SCOOP title just a few days earlier. Stud would be the first game of the final table with Ulett_23 looking for an early double up as the short stack, but it would be holtekila who would be first to go. holtekila lost a chunk of change against Mitorun's ace high-flush, before a three-way clash in Stud Hi-Lo saw holtekila all in by fifth street against both Fred_Brink and Mitorun. By sixth street, Mitorun gave it up as Fred_Brink already showed a straight to leave holtekila drawing dead. holtekila ended with [Ac][2s][Ks][6d][6s][Qh][5c] as Fred_Brink's [5s][8h][7h][6c][4h][3s][Ad] scooped the lot to leave holtekila to pick up $1,984.50 for 8th place. Two-time COOP champion Ulett_23 had survived a pay jump but could go no further than 7th place. In Stud Hi-Lo, Ulett_23 capped the action on third street and was all in for change on fourth with both Fred_Brink and YordanPetrov coming along. After checking fifth, the two live players put in bets on sixth and the river with YordanPetrov's [4c][Ac][7c][5d][7h][Ad][2c] scooping the pot with aces and sevens for the high and a seven-low. Both opponents mucked to see Ulett_23 out in 7th place for $2,835.00. It would take until the next orbit of Stud for the next casualty. After heavy action on fourth and a bet on fifth, Tarzancev was all in on sixth street against Fred_Brink. After the river was dealt, Tarzancev showed [Ad][Jc][2d][Js][6d][6c][8s] for two pair with jacks and sixes but Fred_Brink had already made a flush on sixth with [Qh][4h][Ah][Th][5s][6h][Jd]. Tarzancev took home $3,969.00 for 6th place. Mitorun and Fred_Brink shared the chip lead with five players remaining, with Mitorun extending that advantage with the elimination of YordanPetrov. It was during Limit Holdem when YordanPetrov three-bet preflop before action was capped on the flop. YordanPetrov only had a few thousand to commit on the turn holding [ad][qh] on the board of [2s][8c][6s][6c] but Mitorun's pair with [5c][5s] was in front and it stayed that way with the [7s] completing the board. YordanPetrov picked up $5,670.00 for 5th place. Fred_Brink was on the short stack when the Omaha Hi-Lo orbit rolled around and committed his last chips on the turn against two opponents: RSS readers click through to see replay Unfortunately for Fred_Brink, Mitorun tabled the old "nut nut" for the ten-high straight to go with a seven-low.

I couldn't tell you why but I really enjoy seeing totally dominant final-table performances. Some people love wild swings and players battling back and forth, tooth and nail. Not me. I love ruthless, pitiless domination. It feels more satisfying to see one player dismantle a final table. I'm feeling mighty damn satisfied tonight after watching klippen destroy the final table of SCOOP 2013 Event 37-L, $27 HORSE. Mixed games like HORSE require prowess across a number of poker disciplines, so it was no surprise to see the Team PokerStars Pros punch above their considerable weight class in Event 37-Low. Three team members made the money out of 10 that entered. David Williams had the best day; he finished in 100th place for $76.31. He was joined in the money by Jose "Nacho" Barbero (151st, $58.27) and Marcin "Goral" Horecki (212th, $51.33). The only SCOOP champion among the eight players assembled at the final table was ozenc: [FINAL TABLE SCREEN CAP HERE] Seat 1: ozenc (1388750 in chips) Seat 2: St3phenHendr (2899703 in chips) Seat 3: breasticlelv (2643002 in chips) Seat 4: Kazantipolé (307350 in chips) Seat 5: klippen (4359604 in chips) Seat 6: DaliaAllin (950624 in chips) Seat 7: L1000000 (998269 in chips) Seat 8: LuigiPalermo (582698 in chips) Level 66: limits 80k-160k (Limit Hold'em) Average: 1.76 million (11 big bets) klippen startedthe final table with a sizable chip lead and had position on the shortest stack at the table (Kazantipolé) and the 2nd and 3rd place stacks of St3phenHendr and breasticlelv. It was an enviable seat, but at the beginning of the final table klippen didn't have much chance to use it. LuigiPalermo, the second shortest stack, was dipping into an extensive time bank on every hand, perhaps trying to hasten the end of the hold'em round. Kazantipolé wound up being the first eliminated on one of the last hold'em hands. From the cutoff seat, breasticlelv raised pre-flop. Dealt [ad][tc], Kazantipolé three-bet, folding the blinds. breasticlelv capped the action, which was enough for Kazantipolé to go all in. breasticlelv showed a dominated [ks][td], but paired kings on an all-diamond flop, [kd][4d][7d]. Kazantipolé needed an ace or a diamond, but neither came on the turn or the river. Kazantipolé busted in 8th place. Meanwhile, as the tournament approached the midnight break, the game switched to Omaha Hi/Lo - and the staller switched to DaliaAllin. breasticlelv: you guys realize were already at the FT? St3phenHendr: no need to stall LuigiPalermo :Europe > breakfast time breasticlelv: hes about to have 5 whole minutes devoted to that breakfast LuigiPalermo had all the time in the world for breakfast when the game switched to 100k-200k razz. Down to 209k, LuigiPalermo made a stand with A-9 / 6. klippen, still with the chip lead, called with 3-3 / 2 and improved to a 6-5 by 6th street. LuigiPalermo had a live draw to a better 6 at that point but bricked the river to bow out in 7th place. The game switched again, to 120k-240k Stud. L1000000, who became the new short stack after LuigiPalermo's elimination, was in a desperate spot with only 393k in chips. klippen, still the chip leader, completed with a [7c] door card. L1000000 started [7h][8c] / [6s] and went with it. klippen revealed two nines in the hole, a bad hope for L1000000's board straightening out. By the river, klippen's board turned into two pair, queens and nines; L1000000 ended with ace-high and the title of 6th-place finisher. ozenc was the next player to run into the klippen buzzsaw. The game was 120k-240 Stud Hi/Lo when it happened. ozenc had two-and-a-half big bets and raised to 240k with an ace after klippen completed a queen. The two players capped the action on third street and got the remainder of the chips in on fourth. ozenc had started with split aces and never improved to a better high or a qualifying low. klippen's split queens, on the other hand, made a second pair of deuces on 5th street, enough to drag the pot and

Final table players got a nice break in Event #34-H. After 10 hands of play on the final table, Day 1 ended and players got a 13-hour break. After a good night's -- or day's, depending on global location -- rest, players came back at 2pm ET and Akademnuk was crowned champion. Akademnuk defeated a field of 171 players who created prize pool of $342,000. Among those players were Team PokerStars Online Naoya "nkeyno" Kihara, George "jorj95" Lind III and Adrienne "talonchick" Rowsome. Also donning the red spade were Team PokerStars Pros George Danzer, Eugene Katchalov and Jose Ignacio Barbero. Current SCOOP leader, Shaun Deeb, was also in the field. Deeb made a deep run and scored a few more points after finishing 12th for $5,985.00. It was a good run, but Deeb finished just short of the...

We were able to get through 10 hands and plplaya doubled up in the process. With 1K/2K blinds, plplaya raised to 6,000 from the small blind and kuhns89 called, bringing a [9c][3h][8s] flop. plplaya bet the pot and kuhns89 re-potted to 24,000. plplaya called all-in and showed [ad][9c][6s][5c] to kuhns89's [7h][5d][4h][2d]. The turn brought a [2c] and the [4s] fell on the river. plplaya hit an [5][4][3][2][a] and a two-to-six straight. plplaya was up to 56,410 while kuhns89 dipped to 76,603. Then play stopped and the final table was put on hold for about 13 hours. While the final table contestants rested up, their seating arrangement was mixed up a bit. Friday Players came back at 14:00 ET today to the following arrangement: Seat 1: kirbynator -- 70,779 Seat 2: KallApelsin -- 36,328 Seat 3: römpsä -- 136,098 Seat 4: Just F0LD it -- 216,191 Seat 5: 2mark -- 60,165 Seat 6: bedias -- 115,496 Seat 7: plplaya -- 56,410 Seat 8: Akademnuk -- 87,930 Seat 9: kuhns89 -- 75,603 When play resumed Friday afternoon, 2mark started an online, written cover of Rebecca Black's "Friday." kirbynator joined in and plplaya asked a lot of questions. The performance exceeded expectations and was arguably better than the original. The KallApelsin was elminated. Blinds were 1.25K/2.5K and Akademnuk raised to 5,000 from the hijack. KallApelsin re-raised to 17,500 from the small blind and Akademnuk called. There was a [qd][2s][3d] flop and KallApelsin moved all-in for 18,828. Akademnuk called and showed [ah][8h][7c][3s] to KallApelsin's [as][10s][7s][2d]. A [3c] came on the turn and the river brought a [10h]. There was no low hand and Akademnuk took the pot with three threes. KallApelsin was out in 9th and earned $6,840.00. Just lost it Just F0LD it started the final table and Day 2 with the lead, but then passed it over after doubling up kirbynator. Just F0LD it raised to 5,250 from early position and kuhns89 and kirbynator called from the blinds. kuhns89 and kirbynator checked the [9s][4c][10s] flop and Just F0LD it bet 10,237. kuhns89 folded and kirbynator called. The [5d] came on the turn and Just F0LD it bet 36,224. kirbynator moved all-in for 52,792. Just F0LD it called and showed [as][ks][jd][3h] to kirbynator's [9c][8c][6s][4s]. An [ac] came on the river and kirbynator scooped the pot with [8][6][5][4][a] and nines and fours. kirbynator was up to 141 and Just F0LD it dipped to 129,011. Rapid fire Play slowed down for a bit but then we got two back-to-back eliminations. The first one was courtesy of Just F0LD it, who regained the lead a few hands earlier: Blinds were up to 2K/4K and plplaya had slowly chipped down during Day 2. plplaya managed to double up once but wouldn't be so lucky on the second all-in. plplaya raised to 14,000 from middle position and Just F0LD it re-raised to 44,400.

This is the ninth year in a row we've made the trip to Las Vegas and let's just say we've learned a thing or two about how to maneuver in Sin City. This year we'll be covering a selection of the biggest and best WSOP bracelet events leading up to the $10,000 World Championship. And during the Main Event we'll be shipping daily video interviews and updates straight from the floor of the Rio Hotel and Casino. But we won't be doing it alone. We've brought in a crack team of poker media veterans including Alex Villegas, Marc Convey, Allen Rash and Dave Behr to help. And you can head straight to our WSOP 2013 Section to see it all in one place. Follow the Chips for 12 Feature WSOP Bracelet Events For this year's World Series of Poker we've handpicked a dozen tournaments that run the gamut from the $1k Millionaire Maker to the $111k One Drop High Roller. We'll be pulling compelling stories out of the crowd for the entire WSOP.   “With over 60 bracelet events at the WSOP it can be tough for fans to keep track of everything that's going on,” said PokerListings Editor in Chief Matt Showell. “That's why we're focusing in on the most compelling stories and characters to give you a richer WSOP experience that goes beyond bracelet winners and chip counts.” And to do it PokerListings will be using a new coverage format we call “Follow the Chips”. Instead of a mash-up of individual hands from across the tournament floor we'll be zooming in and covering one compelling personality at a time.
