The Supernova Elite is the highest level that can reach a user at the VIP system PokerStars.

The legend that accompanies this title is based on the huge demand and sacrifice that a player must use to reach it. The VPPs spread over any hand in the letters give you the average levels ranging from 0.25 PokerStars and 0.40, depending on the mode you play or how many participants in it.

The Elite is achieved by reaching the figure of 1,000,000 VPPs. You have to spend much time and effort every day, you have the body you have or suffer the bad luck to suffer.

The financial rewards associated with SNE status is very important -more than $ 100,000 in bonuses and tournament entries- But may not be enough if the path can not hold a positive winrate or if you fall victim to stress scratch the last chance to win. There are few who have regular molded open more tables than they can handle in a last attempt to scratch the VPPs needed.

Three years ago it looked as if the WPT would be facing disaster. Shrinking Fields participant, not an online skills and meant virtually no presence in Europe of the WPT is an existence as a wallflower in the shadow of the great World Series in North America and Europe in the EPT.

Now the situation has changed significantly. With the WPT in Prague with more than 560 players so far been greatest WPT in Europe played, also stand to Prague, Paris, Barcelona, ​​Dublin, Venice and Vienna, a number of interesting venues available, and with PartyPoker and bwin are two powerful online poker rooms as a partner.

Steve Heller, CEO of WPT sees this development is far from reached its end. “We want to come up in future at all tour stops in Europe with live updates and live streams. In addition, there will soon be Europe’s Royal Flush Girls. And then we’ll take a WPT Champions Cup on the road. On it all WPT winner will be engraved. ”

“The initiative is actually from last September, came as the entire staff of the WPT in Paris, and accompanied the event with a video crew, and we will repeat this experiment at the WPT Venice in February 2012.”

Although the WPT is relatively short and Prague just before the EPT was set, Heller wants to know this is not understood as an attack on the competition.

“The expansion of the WPT is not a direct response to the EPT. We are not in competition. We just respond to the urgent need for WPT events in Europe. We are a global organization, and we want to offer fans all over the world experience the WPT. ”

The year 2011 was in the poker world, mainly through the Full Tilt fiasco and the Black Friday marked. Nevertheless, the WPT has continued to grow. This is a whole package of measures that the World Poker Tour will make more interesting. Apparently it worked with the community.

“Since the beginning of the ninth season of the television company, we have raised to the level of the first season. We have hired Kimberly Lansing as a moderator (which has now been replaced by Marianela Pereyra), attended with Tony Dunst and the Raw Deal for a bit more controversy and the Royal Flush Girls for a bit more glamorous.

All this has led to the poker community has recognized our efforts. The quotas for television broadcasts in the U.S. have risen by 30% within a year. ”

The question arises, how to go there. Will continue to expand the WPT, and if so where? Europe is the market of the future or is it Asia?

“We expect that poker, and thus the WPT continues to grow. We receive support from bwin poker rooms like Party and, but, the WPT is an independent organization and is also working with a number of other online poker rooms, and other partners. In recent years we have spent a lot of work to establish ourselves in Europe. We will build on this development, and the poker community can already look forward to more time events in more countries. “

A Russian website for Staker said to Pius at Heinz’s entry fee was to be heavily involved.

What percentage of the Russians should be, was not disclosed, but Max Katz, one of the members of the site, said in an interview with Matthew King on the Betfair poker blog, there were “large portions” was.

King literally

“I can not mention the exact sum, since it is better to me if the rumors. We want to keep secret the exact amount, but it is a big part of the prize money. ”

Besides Heinz wants King have also bought shares of three other WSOP bracelet winners, including Joe Ebanks and Amir Levahot.

A total of 170 players had been supported events in 2915, King said, and invested over one million dollars.

The site with the name Pokeroff is one of the largest poker sites in Russia, it was started seven years ago.

The members publish blogs and articles online, there is also staking a private community, which may be contacted recommended to players when they are looking for investors.

All offers will be published on a private site and then divided between the interested parties.

King explains the principle as follows:

“We have a site that can offer on the player itself … This site is not advertised, and the only address we will send players who we know, and in turn they give only very good players. The whole work is on the basis of a recommendation. ”

“Someone recommended Pius Heinz, and he put an offer on the site, which initially referred only to the smaller events, so the $ 1000 and $ 1500 events of the WSOP. We bought one. ”

“Then he came with a $ 1500 event at number seven or eight, and then he decided to sell even more shares for the main event. We agreed. ”

The page also shares were traded by the winner of the PCA Galen Hall, Berlin EPT and EPT London winner Ben Wilinofsky winner David Vamplew.

While in Russia Staking is commonplace, according to Katz, investors look like beyond the borders of Russia.

“We even support the majority of non-Russian players, because the foreigners are often better and offer better terms.”

Sebastian Ruthenberg is now in the top ten best European in the main event. Heinzelmann missed bad beat, Negreanu climbs, Helmuth staggers.

The field is compressed slowly, the atmosphere is characterized by increasing voltage. The stacks are larger, the lower falls. 1864 players made in the afternoon at the WSOP Main Event, but only half will return today night.

The peak

Chip Leader is completely unknown Patrick Poirier, who broke through the first player to the limit of one million chips. Behind the French name is hidden, however, not European, but a man from the mountains of New York. Alexander Mozhnjakow fell from number one to number 10 and holds it at the forefront of the field.

Sebastian Ruthenberg is now the third consecutive day in this extremely successful event. Meanwhile, he has arrived in the Top Ten of the chip counts. With 889 000 chips, he has earned an excellent starting point. Ruthenberg caught one of these days, which are needed for a good Ergegbnis in such a big tournament, he played well, got good hands at the right moments and got no bad beats missed.

Ruthenberg appears just in time to get going. For the $ 50k Players Championship, he came to the penultimate table – And just the money. With the sixth largest of all the stacks, he is now a player to be reckoned with which one.

What is a Bad Beat, shows a hand on the TV table between Shaun Deeb and Max Heinzelmann was played. The now erblondete double EPT winner followed his ultra-aggressive style and completed a pre-flop exchange of blows with an all-in. Deeb paid immediately with AA, Heinzelmann had “gambled too high” and only A-6. A six on the flop and another on the river cost the American online specialists almost his entire chip. He was eliminated shortly thereafter, while Heinzelmann ended the day with 278 000 chips.

The WSOP for 2011 could Phil Hellmuth and Daniel Negreanu hardly be more different run. While Hellmuth heads-ups achieved three to five times the money was, and has won $ 1.5 million, for Negreanu are just two cashes for $ 28k to Beech. Even the usually cheerful Canadians a disaster series.
The fighters

But still the fat lady has not gewungen, in the main event yesterday Negreanu could build his stack to over 200,000, while Hellmuth after his Late start on Day 2A another busy day, spent with a stack of 77,000, but still ended with the achievement of Day 4.

Hellmuth is tonight with four Germans sit at the table: Martin Ross, Nikolai Senninger, Charalampos Tsaoussis and Matthias Much. Each of them has more than twice as many chips as the former champion, which opens the opportunity for an outburst of rage against the “idiots from Central Europe” (as it should be called then), but you should not write off Hellmuth, while he was still a single chip in front of him.

Hellmuth’s rival in the standings for the “Player of the Year” Ben Lamb had finally had a few setbacks. Still, with 174 500 Lamb chips is significantly more effective than Hellmuth.

SimpsonsCreator Sam Simon won the duel of the Comedians against „Seinfeld”Actor Jason” George Costanzo “Alexander. While Alexander was retired, sits behind a massive stack of 500,000 chips.

In contrast, we have with Tom McEvoy and Joe Cada almost all WSOP Champions lost. Only Robert Varkonyi Helmuth reached next day 4 Of the November Nine of last year, only Joseph Cheong become the best wife is still Amanda Musumeci that here the has to say and looks.
The Germans

Overall, more than 25 German players in the tournament. Andreas Kauffeldt (207,000) and Wilfried Härig (73 500), which caused the first two days of the Main Event highlights from the German perspective on hold to continue. The same goes for Sandra Naujoks (105,000), which is heading towards its best finish in the unofficial world championship.

Also Philip “philbort” Gruissem continues to play a class tournament and stands at number 355 100 with 172 of the table. To his left is now taking evening with Claudia Crawford (not by blood or marriage to Cindy), one of the few ladies in the show grounds – the way a professional player and PLO specialist – is sitting at his right hand with Robert Kolbe another German.

In today’s night is likely to be the Cashed achieved. 693 players are paid the minimum reward for those who it is that far at $ 19,359.

When David Benyamine in high-stakes poker season 4 with an all-in of $ 600,000 against the dominant hand of the Super Fish Guy Laliberte a 1.2 million dollar pot created, noted veteran Doyle Brunson at laconically: “Many hours of throwing in a pot, others her whole life.”

Urubu111 lost with 7 3 K 8 o to o.

And yesterday, it should not happen to him better. A player named tjbentham challenged the King of Flips and cut him in 68 hands (all pre-flop all-in) $ 240k from the bank roll. Each 34 hands was first on the $ 25 / $ 50 limit and then played on the $ 50 / $ 100. lost in the second session Urubu111 then seven flips in a row and left unnerved the Gamble-arena. Before that had evolved around a nice exchange of words by tjbentham First a little ironic Urubus legendary status stressed. Then he wished the counterparty, may he burn in hell.
