After finishing 6th and missing out on a million dollar payday in the WSOP Millionaire Maker tournament, Stephen Garner got his "revenge" yesterday when he won the EPT Prague Main Event for $1,207,620 (€969,000)!
In addition to the Main Event final table of 7 players, the remaining 23 players of the €10,300 High Roller will soon be returning to the Hilton in Prague for the final day of play. In other words, today marks the end of the EPT Prague festival.
The 2014 European Poker Tour Prague Main Event is down to 7 players after 5 long days of poker. Stephen Graner from the U.S. will be bagging up the chip lead when today's final table kicks off around noon.
Another day of action-packed poker has come to an end at the Hilton Prague hotel and now there are now only 22 players left from a field of 1,107 entries. The chip leader is Fabio Sperling with 4.3 million in chips, and his closest opponent is Stephen Graner with 3.2 million.
The European Poker Tour Prague Main Event has been running non-stop over the weekend. Today, after 3 intensive days of poker, the last 61 players of 1,107 entries will return to the poker tables and continue the battle for a seat at the final table, where €969,000 awaits the last man/women standing.
And so it becomes. That time of the year I really hate. Christmas.
That magical time, when we all celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, God's son who gave his life to save us all. That is how it started anyway. These days it is nothing but a commercial party lasting months in which we are all strongly encouraged to waste our money on over-extravagance.

A former Danish high-stakes poker player has been reported to the department of economical fraud in Denmark. The reason is that several players of the Danish poker community have found trojan horses on their computers that they believe were installed by the suspect in question. The accused could allegedly see the other players hole cards on different poker sites.
41 players (+ 10 re-entries) entered the 2014 EPT Prague Super High Roller for €50,000 a piece. 2014 WSOP Main Event winner Martin Jacobson were among the 35 players (32 from Day 1 + 3 new entries) who returned for Day 2, however, he ended up being eliminated on the final table bubble.

Welcome mobsters, if you are reading this blog for the very first time, I thank you for your initial interest. I think that if you give it a little time, you will find something that will peak your interest.

My last blog post had me still going up but getting a lot of bad beats and giving me the feeling that I was swimming against the current. Right after that blog post things started to change and with my roll at $1125 I sat down at a NL50 table and started to feel my way around. At first not much was happening but after a while I hit on this hand:
It seems like U.S. players who relocated to Mexico after Black Friday (April 15, 2011, when the Department of Justice shut down PokerStars and Full Tilt Poker among other online poker sites in the United States) will have to look elsewhere soon if they want to continue playing online poker on the global poker market.

Many people would agree that Rounders is the best poker movie to date. In 2009, David Levien - one of the writers of Rounders, said in a interview that he had started writing down ideas for a follow-up, which made lots of fans around the world both glad and hopeful. However, fans had to wait until late 2013 before it was officially announced that the classic film from 1998 would be getting a sequel.
