JACKIE GLAZIER WINS 2012 MELBOURNE POKER CHAMPIONSHIP

Editor — Tue, 15 May 2012 16:27:16 +0000

The 2012 Melbourne Poker Championships have concluded with Melbourne’s own Jackie Glazier claiming a memorable victory in the Main Event to take home the trophy and $95,000 in prize money.

It’s been another huge week in the Crown Poker Room as 433 players took to the felt over three opening flights in the repechage format of the Melbourne Poker Championships Main Event. The field contained Melbourne’s finest, plenty of interstate invaders and a string of previous Australian poker champions.

After a couple of days of toil, the final table of ten formed today with talented young gun Ryan Hong holding a big chip lead.

After a cautious start, the players started to drop away as the big cards were passed around the table and the short stacks were unable to find the double ups they required to stay alive. Ismail Ismail was first to go when his king-queen ran into Liwei Han’s ace-queen, before Paul Schembri pushed his ace-jack into the pocket jacks of Nishi Gamage.

Gamage was the wild card as he splashed around, but it was the elimination of Stelios Yenofkian in 8^thplace that kick-started the run of Jackie Glazier. She moved all in on the river with a full house and induced a call from Yenofkian for his tournament life.

Glazier chipped up towards the chip lead while the other female at the final table, Sherrie Gelberg was unlucky to be next to fall. Gelberg got her chips in with ace-king against Simon Moshi’s ace-jack but a jack on the flop was a dagger through the heart for Gelberg. After final tabling this very same event last year, Gelberg was unable to improve on that result as she lands back-to-back 7^th place finishes.

Simon Kidson was one of the few short stacks who managed to get himself back into contention, but his run came to an end with ace-five against the ace-king of Simon Moshi, before Nishi Gamage was sent to the cashier in 5^th place. Gamage moved all in with A♣6♣ as Moshi showed he was prepared to gamble with his 5♣5♦. A third five on the flop and it was all over for Gamage as Moshi continued to climb.

Liwei Han was always in for a tough day at the office with the dangerous Ryan Hong on his direct left, but it didn’t help when Hong also found good cards. When Han shoved Q♥J♦ from the small blind, Hong woke up with K♣K♠ in the big blind and made the easy call with the queen-high board leaving Han to depart in 4^thplace.

Hong was in front but a key hand went down three-handed on a flop of 4♣6♠2♠. A bet from Hong, raise from Glazier, re-raise from Hong and then an all-in by Glazier saw Hong’s cards hit the muck and he never recovered. Moments later his chips were all in with A♥K♣ as Moshi was able to win another race with J♦J♥ when the board ran out ten-high.

Simon Moshi held a small advantage over Jackie Glazier when heads-up play started, and with both players about 100 big blinds deep, we thought we might be in for a long haul. But incredibly, on the very first hand of heads-up play, Moshi stuck it all in with K♥J♦ and Glazier made the call with 6♠6♣. Moshi can coinflipped very well up until this point, but this one went the way of Glazier as the board ran out 3♥7♥4♦8♥2♦.

Glazier was back in control and it was all over soon after when a cheap pot saw the players get to the river on a board of 7♥4♠8♠5♣2♣. Glazier surprised all by overbet shoving all in, and even more surprising was that Moshi called with Q♦7♦ for just second pair. Glazier showed 8♣4♦ for two pair and it was all over.

Glazier was one of the first eliminated on the first two opening flights of this event, barely lasting the first level each day. But she took full advantage of the repechage format, navigating her way through to Day 2 with her third bullet. From there, she always loomed as a threat, making a surge towards the chip leaders day on Day 2 to sit third in chips when today’s final table got underway.

After finishing second in the Joe Hachem Deep Stack event at the start of the series, Glazier only had eyes on the title this afternoon.

With her victory today, Glazier will move into the top 50 Australian all-time tournament money earners and also into the top 50 female all-time tournament money earners from any country. That’s an impressive accomplishment right there. She now also adds her name to the honour roll as Melbourne Poker Championships winners. Congratulations Jackie!

POKERSTARS BRINGS BACK MAIN EVENT PASSPORT

Editor — Tue, 01 May 2012 23:56:43 +0000

It’s a choice. You win, you go where you want. It’s how the Main Event Passport works. For a limited time, you don’t have to worry about finding the satellite for the specific event you want to play. Play for a Main Event Passport and decide later. Doesn’t sound like real life to you? Try this:

Imagine yourself sitting in a pub late one night. It’s last call, and the bartender is ready for you to finish your pint so he can get home to his cats. The bell over the door dings, and a mysterious guy in a long dark coats walks in.

“I’m sorry, we’re clo–,” the barman begins. The man in the coat holds up a hand, and the dude behind the bar shuts his mouth. He rubs a clean glass with a dirty towel and watches at a distance.

The man in the coat turns to you. “What do you want?” he says.

“What do you mean?” you ask. “I’m fine. Just finishing up.”

“What do you want?” he says. “Anything. It’s your choice.”

In your head, you make your choice. Before you open your mouth to give voice to your greatest wants and desires, the Man in the Coat (of course he’s taken on capital letters in his name) removes something from his breast pocket and puts it on the table in front of you.

As he walks out into the night, the barman says “G’night, stranger.” You look down in front of you and see something that looks like this.

That doesn’t sound like real life, either? Very well, then. Here’s the skinny:

For the next two months, PokerStars will be offering a wide variety of satellites that can earn you a Main Event Passport. Win one, and you get to pick the main event you want to play. Here are your five choices:

World Series of Poker (WSOP)
PokerStars Caribbean Adventure (PCA)
European Poker Tour (EPT)
Latin American Poker Tour (LAPT)
Asia Pacific Poker Tour (APPT)

The package itself is worth $13,000 and good for almost any main event at any of the above tours or festivals (see the Frequently Asked Questions for any clarification you might need). PokerStars has cash, FPP, and Steps satellites available for every bankroll. Just look under EVENTS and PASSPORT to start playing today.

Get to work. You only have until July 1st to win your Main Event Passport. If you can’t do it by then, you’re going to have to count on the bartender and his cats to keep you company while everybody else is playing the main event of their choice.

WORLD SERIES OF POKER DOWN UNDER

Editor — Tue, 01 May 2012 00:55:38 +0000

WORLD SERIES OF POKER ANNOUNCES PARTNERSHIP WITH CROWN FOR MAJOR POKER SERIES DEBUTING IN MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA IN 2013
WSOP ASIA-PACIFIC (WSOP APAC) TO FEATURE MULTIPLE BRACELET EVENTS APRIL 4-15, 2013

With poker’s popularity exploding across the Asia-Pacific, the World Series of Poker (WSOP), in partnership with Australia’s Crown Melbourne, have today reached a multi-year agreement to bring the major poker tournament series to the region commencing in April 2013.

World Series of Poker Asia-Pacific (WSOP APAC) will take place April 4-15, 2013, at Crown Melbourne, and feature five WSOP gold bracelet events.

“Our goal is to establish the worldwide grand slam of poker and use our platform to elevate the game through a series of major championships,” said WSOP Executive Director Ty Stewart. “With WSOP Las Vegas growing annually and WSOP Europe poised for long-term success after five years, the time is right to turn our attention to the dynamic poker scene in Asia and Australia. Given Crown’s success with the ‘Aussie Millions Poker Championship’, we couldn’t ask for a better partner than Crown to establish the Asia-Pacific’s definitive poker festival.”

Crown Melbourne is Australia’s leading integrated entertainment resort attracting approximately 18 million local, interstate and international visitors each year. It is one of the largest entertainment complexes in the world showcasing world-class gaming facilities and is the home of the renowned and most prestigious ‘Aussie Millions Poker Championship’ along with the largest poker room outside North America. The world-class complex also boasts Australia’s best restaurant precinct, international designer brand shopping and award winning hotels – Crown Towers, Crown Promenade and Crown Metropol.

“This exciting partnership brings together two industry leaders, and two strong brands, to create a premier poker event in this region,” said Crown Melbourne’s Chief Executive Officer, Greg Hawkins.

“Our agreement firmly aligns with our objective of attracting the very best local and international players, all vying for a coveted WSOP bracelet. We are incredibly proud of what we have achieved with the Aussie Millions and look forward to featuring WSOP Asia Pacific on our poker calendar in April 2013.”

The agreement marks the first time the WSOP is exporting its prestigious tournament series to Australia, and marks just the second expansion of the 42-year-old brand, after the advent of WSOP Europe in 2007. To date, WSOP gold bracelets have only been awarded in Las Vegas (1970-2011), London (2007-2010) and France (2011).

Crown’s agreement with the WSOP includes provisions for international television production of the event and is expected to be shown globally on ESPN.

Legions of locals have been swept up in the Australian poker boom that was ignited when Melbournian and Crown ambassador Joe Hachem became the 2005 World Series of Poker Champion, scooping up $7.5 million in prize money for his efforts.

“It’s thrilling to think the World Series of Poker is coming to Australian soil,” said Joe Hachem. “I know first-hand what a life-changing moment winning the WSOP gold bracelet was and how it served as a catalyst for the growth of poker in Australia and Asia. It will be a dream come true to host a worldwide poker event such as this at Crown. I can’t wait.”

Crown’s CEO Greg Hawkins further added, “This initiative will provide Crown with significant exposure in Asia, Europe and America, and forms an integral part of Crown’s global marketing strategy to attract further international visitors to Australia and Crown Melbourne.”

The complete schedule and dates are expected to be announced later this year.

POKERSTARS SETS TABLE FOR 80 BILLIONTH HAND

Editor — Sun, 29 Apr 2012 23:19:31 +0000

Grab a cup of coffee, put a pillow in the seat of your computer chair, and get ready to get back on the road, because PokerStars just opened up a new highway on the Road to 100 Billion.

PokerStars announced this week that its 80 billionth hand will be hitting some time very soon. If you’ve been a player on PokerStars for very long, you know that when big things start happening, big money starts flying. It’s more than a big paper cut risk. It’s a chance to win a small fortune.

Between now and the time the 80 billionth hand hits, PokerStars will be giving away up to $1 million in prizes. Every millionth hand from 79,700,000,000 to 80,000,000,000 will be worth thousands of dollars to the people lucky enough to be seated in the right place at the right time.

And, of course, PokerStars has something big planned for the 80 billionth hand. Whoever wins that one will get at least $20,000.

Note the words “at least” in that last sentence.

See, the way this thing works is that you get paid more for your milestone hand victories based on the number of VIP Player Points you have earned at the tables since you sat down. The more you play and the higher your VIP Club level, the more you can win.

When the 75 billionth hand hit, it ended in a split pot, which meant two people ended up with big cash instead of one.

Now it’s time to turn our attention to the 80 billionth hand. Keep your eye on the corner of the PokerStars lobby to see when the next milestone hand is going to hit.

For more information, examples of how you can win, and all the details you need, visit the Road to 100 Billion information page.

Good luck!

POKER LEGEND AMARILLO SLIM PASSES AWAY

Editor — Sun, 29 Apr 2012 22:34:20 +0000

As reported by PokerListings.com Five-time World Series of Poker bracelet winner Thomas “Amarillo Slim” Preston has died at the age of 83 at a hospice near his home in Amarillo, Texas.

His death was confirmed by his daughter via WSOP media rep Nolan Dalla and the family released the following statement on the WSOP website:

“We hope everyone will remember our beloved Amarillo Slim for all the positive things he did for poker and to popularize his favorite game – Texas Hold’em.”

Renowned for his quick wit and larger-than-life personality, Preston is often credited for making Texas Hold’em what it is today.

One of the original Texas road gamblers with Doyle Brunson and Brian “Sailor” Roberts, Preston and his peers traveled around Texas playing underground poker games before eventually bringing the game to Vegas.

Slim proceeded to win the 1972 World Series of Poker Main Event and turned his victory into dozens of network television appearances including frequent spots on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson.

From Road Gambler to Poker Exile

By the time the true Texas Hold’em boom came about in 2003 after Chris Moneymaker’s win in the WSOP Main Event, however, Slim was no longer in a position to reap the rewards.

In August of that year a grand jury indicted Preston on multiple counts of indecency with a child after his grandaughter had accused him of molestation.

The felony charges were eventually dropped but Preston did plead “no contest” to misdemeanor assault charges.

In an exclusive interview with Nolan Dalla for PokerListings.com, Slim maintained he only plead out to protect his family and that he was decidedly not guilty of any charges brought against him:

“Contrary to all these charges and things,” Slim said, “I’ve always been a family man. And now after 80 years I’m going to be accused of being a predator of children? No chance.”

Preston was ultimately fined $4,000, given two years probation and ordered to undergo counseling but his reputation continued to suffer throughout the poker community – despite repeated expressions of support from Brunson.

The lack of support from the poker community at large always bothered him, he said, despite the fact no one would confront him about it:

“I have never had anyone say anything negative to me. Whether I was playing, or not playing. I think there are a bunch of hypocrites in the poker world and a lot of them are obligated to me.

“Not a one of them has showed up and stood beside me … I don’t hear from them anymore.

“Some of them could have said something and shown their support. But they didn’t.”

Much of Preston’s life, including many of his old road stories, renowned hustles and legendary prop bets, is chronicled his book Amarillo Slim in a World of Fat People released in 2003.

Preston was born on December 31, 1928 in Johnson, Arkansas.

LAURENT TAPIE FUNDS NEW FULL TILT POKER COMPANY

Editor — Wed, 18 Apr 2012 10:46:35 +0000

PokerListings reported yesterday that Laurent Tapie has been named Director and Secretary of a recently incorporated Irish company called New Full Tilt Poker Limited.

The news further fuels speculation that the defunct online poker room will soon be operational.

Alongside Tapie at the helm of New Full Tilt Limited is Prosper Jerémy Masquelier, named as the company’s second Director.

Masquelier, along with Laurent and Bernard Tapie, are the three co-founders of the mysterious International Stadiums Poker Tour announced October of last year.

The news came to light on PokerFuse and TwoPlusTwo and relies on information from Irish company directory SoloCheck.ie.

According to records New Full Tilt Limited was incorporated on February 14, has a registered Dublin address and is classified as “Software Consultancy and Supply”.

Records also show that the company has been funded with €1 million.

This news comes one day after the Full Tilt website showed signs of life for the first time in months, and just weeks after FTP operator Pocket Kings LTD began re-hiring.

With hundred of millions in unpaid player funds hanging in the balance, rumors continue to circulate as to the future of Full Tilt Poker.

SCOOP 2012: POKERSTARS UNVEILS FINAL SCHEDULE

Editor — Tue, 10 Apr 2012 04:50:09 +0000

PokerStars has put the finishing touches on its 2012 SCOOP schedule.

In all, there are 120 SCOOP tournaments spread out over 40 events. Each of those events have three buy-in levels suited for all bankrolls. In total, PokerStars is guaranteeing $30,000,000. Thirty million dollars.

We’ll see two weeks of tournaments starting on May 6 and running up through the May 20th main event. If you’ve not yet taken a look at that main event, you might be interested to see these projected details:

Low: $109 Main Event: $1 million guaranteed
Medium: $1,050 Main Event: $1.5 million guaranteed
High: $10,300 Main Event: $2.5 million guaranteed with $500,000 guaranteed for first place
Note, those guarantees are preliminary, but should be set in stone within a week or so. Stay tuned on that.

If you have a short memory, you might remember last year’s big winner, Sami Kelopuro, won more than half a millon bucks for his big main event victory.

The 2011 SCOOP festival was an amazing one . It hosted 114 events with 403,378 buy-ins from 107,697 players in 156 countries. In total, they won $43,165,800.
