Some people were surprised when he left Team PokerStars Pro, but Hachem voiced the desire to spend more time with his family. In previous years he was always on the road and traveling for poker, and he felt like it was time for a change. It seemed obvious to some that Hachem would continue playing poker on the best Mac poker sites to keep the money coming it, but it looks like this was incorrect.

Instead, Hachem decided to partner with AsianLogic.…

Players had access to an optional rebuy, but Jonathan Duhamel and Bill Perkins were the only players to take it for an additional $100k each. When Day 2 of the tournament started, Isaac Haxton was the chip leader, but he busted before the day was over. I have a feeling he used a PokerStars install on his laptop to keep himself busy after he busted. What do you think?

Just 7 players remained after Day 2 was complete, and Galen Hall was the chip leader. You might know Hall as the player…

PokerStars is famous for running the Spring Championship of Online Poker and the World Championship of Online Poker every year. Many people felt that there was a void in the series schedule, however. While SCOOP and WCOOP already feature turbo events, many felt that a Turbo Championship of Online Poker would be a dream come true. As always, PokerStars listened to the feedback.

Many of the pros were very well known to the poker community. One of the chip leaders going into the final table was Soi Nguyen, a former November Niner. He has done quite well, having enjoyed several large cashes since making the Main Event final table in 2010.

Well known poker pro Antonio Esfandiari entered the final table hoping to add another title to his resume as he won the tournament back in 2010. Andrew Lichtenberger, who amassed his poker winnings on the best US poker sites, joined Esfandiari at the final…

Many people are quick to credit Martin Staszko’s runner up finish in the WSOP Main Event for the surge in entries for this event. In fact, it broke the record for the most entries ever in a WPT tournament in Europe! A €1.75 million prize pool was created after 571 players paid the €3,500 entry fee. The first place prize was an impressive €450k.

It didn’t take too long for the final table to become quite short handed. First Russell Carson, known as ‘rdcrsn’ in online poker rooms, lost a flip…

The news was big early in the event as Phil Ivey was seen at one of the tables. This high profile pro hadn’t been seen in a live tournament since Black Friday, which was on April 15th of this year! Whether it was due to rust or just bad luck, Ivey didn’t go deep in the event. Perhaps he spent too much time with online casino gambling and not enough time with poker during his break?

A grand total of 575 players created a prize pool of 15,552,600 HKD after paying 30,000 HKD each to enter. This meant that first prize was 3,772,000 HKD, which…

This event’s 8-handed final table’s first casualty was Mario Puccini, a German pro known to online players as Pokerccini. He pushed all-in with KQ suited, a hand which I was sure never loses. He ended up losing to A8 offsuit, however, which proved my theory wrong. He busted in 8th place.

If you are a fellow Craps online player, you might not be used to the following preflop betting I’m about to describe in a hand that ensued soon after Puccini’s…
