The Winner of LAPT

0

We see many tournaments happening in the poker world all over the year. LAPT was one of them which was held in Costa Rica. A total of 259 players participated in this tournament with a buy-in of $2500. The final of LAPT was held in the Costa Rica which no doubt is the best place in the world to visit or you can also refer it to as a piece of heaven. It was obviously really exciting for many players.

The competition in LAPT was very tough because there were so many unexpected players at the final table who never reached the final table before that. As the players who joined were less in number so the prize money wasn’t that big but it was enough for the first 2 position holders. Few hours ago, we were able to see the results of the LAPT. The first 3 positions were very much expected and the rest were almost in order but not that much.
The first position holder was Amir Suleiman who no doubt is a very good poker player and has won many other games in past few years. Amir Suleiman was able to secure the first place and won a total of $179,000 which are really enough for him because playing poker is not his main business. Amir is a very big Coffee Trader and was visiting Costa Rica in the matter of trade and decided to join the tournament for fun. Who knew that the person who entered into the tournament unexpectedly or just for fun will win the first prize.
The second prize winner was awarded with a prize money of $102,000 which is obviously a lot less than the first position but is a lot more than the third position holder.It is expected that Amir will be joining more and more tournaments while on his business across different cities and countries. It is very much possible that he might take this serious and adopt poker as his main source of income. You can check the stats of first 10 positions of any poker news website.v

Protecting Online Casinos from Internet Bots

0

We heard a lot of cases in which big companies like Full Tilt were sued by its players saying that it is using bots in the games which makes the game difficult for human beings and as a results they keep all the money. However, at that time the checking of Full Tilt showed that they were really not using any kind of bots. Obviously there is a huge risk and it might affect the poker players a lot.

Considering all situations like that a company of England developed a very powerful software which will help Internet casinos to implement it in their systems and simply keep the bots away from the game. It is said that it is a very powerful software and this England company has already signed contract with many online gambling sites like king.com.
The software works in a very easy way. The main thing it does is that it traces abnormal playing patterns by a particular player which gives it a clue that it is a real human or a bot. This software is really powerful and has really renationalized the online gambling. We already know that there are hundreds of types of frauds which can be done over the online gambling sites but letting the bots play is the biggest fraud of online websites.
It is expected that many online casinos will be implementing this software in their system and it will surely help them to make the game play fair. It is expected that many websites will now be giving the guarantee to the poker players that there will be no kind of bots involved in the game. Like this, there are huge chances that the business of these websites will also increase because there are many poker players who don’t like to play online because of the frauds involved in it. Although the one time fee for the software will be expensive but almost every online casino will be able to afford it because it will boost up its player number in no time and will gives them a lot of revenue.

As we already know that different types of discussions were going on few days ago in which both Mandalay Media and PartyGaming wanted to acquire WPT. Both of them placed really high bids and it was surely difficult for WPT to decide everything. Although we were unable to see any kind of decision made by WPT at that time but finally the big step was taken by WPT.

WPT agreed with PartyGaming and said that offer made by PartyGaming was of best interest to the shareholders of the company and that is why they are accepting the offer. Obviously this is really bad news for Mandalay Media as they lost the biggest fortune. The WPT founder Steve said that he is delighted to have PartyGaming as its partner. The counsel of WPT said that the partnership will not affect any kind of on going games of WPT and the transition will go smoothly on FOX without any kind of interruption.
Another advantage WPT got from this partnership is that now it can get great time support from PartyGaming to face the challenges presented by the economic crisis of the world. Lipscomb said that it is the greatest year in gaming history and surely there is going to be a big revolution in the poker gaming world. Lipscomb also added that WPT will now be having a great support from PartyGaming and obviously the future of WPT is a lot brighter than it used to be. He said that WPT and PartyGaming are now going be on the top in its category just like NFL and NBA are there in their own category.
It is expected that more people will be joining the poker world because they have really found a trustworthy company where they can spend their money securely. Almost all poker players are looking for good entertainment and a fun place to play the poker where they will face no issues. PartyGaming with WPT is here to provide them with this kind of environment. You can visit the PartyGaming website or WPT website to get more information about this partnership.

The Biggest Pot Win in Online Poker History

0

We see and read different news everyday about poker. but this news is no doubt really shocking and it really sunned all the poker players all over the world. Patrik Antonius won the biggest pot in the online poker history. antonius was taking the lead from the very first moment when the game started and it was very clear that he was going to win the game but no one knew that it would be that big win.

However, saying anything at this moment will be not at all a good idea because when this article got published, both the best players Ilari and Dwan were still playing and the record could be broken anytime. But obviously antonius broke the record first before any other person could do that. There are many true fans of online poker and they really enjoyed watching this game on their computer because histories and records never get created after every two days.

Both the big players Isildur and Antonius started the game with almost equal amount of stacks which were close to $450,000. It was really doubtful that which one them will be able to win because once you start with equal amounts then obviously the chances of winning decrease.Later in the game, both the players were going very well and it was difficult to judge that who will win. After some time Antonius took the lead and finally that was the moment after which Isulrur was really unable to reutn into the game. Obviously when a $48k lead was taken by Antonius. this was really shcking for Isildur because this was now clear to him that he isn’t going to win.

At last, we were able to see the final moment for which everything was waiting for. If we just take it as a game keeping the players at one side then it was surely on of the best games in the history of online poker and hopefully there will be no such better games in the future. Obviously this one game is going to make tese players really famous because they really shoed up their whole talent.

Another great day at Asia pacific tour. There was a tough match between Miguel and Manny which are the best poker players of this tour. The match lasted for many hours and was really interesting to see. At the end of the day we were having only two players on the table fighting with each other, Han and Hilton. None of them was willing to give up that easily.
At last, the expected results were in front of our eyes. Han finally made it to the next day be defeating Hilton. These two players didn’t reach the final table without doing efforts. Before they could make to the final table they had to eliminate many players. At the final table, the fans and the audience were able to see the whole match at a huge projection screen.
Alexandr and Phillip were the two early eliminations of the day. Mark was next in line and was defeated by Han. Mark was able to secure the 6th place in the tour. At this point, only Han and Hilton were left on the whole table. Han’s strategy was really great from the start of the game. He increased the pressure on Hilton after every few moments. Although at one point Hilton was able to return into the game but that didn’t last for very long. Han didn’t let Hilton take the lead at any point and that is what made him win the tour.
Han received a trophy and a huge prize money of $148,000. That is surely a great day for Han because winning the really not an easy task. This is obviously not the first win of Han but he never won such a big tour before this in such an easy way without having much competitive players. Han’s playing style is different from other players and it is difficult to judge his very next move. These few tricks which only Han knows made him win the tour with a huge prize money. You can see the screenshots of the final table of this tour over the Internet and you are surely going to love the whole thing.

This tournament of Full tilt Poker was full of players. More than 2000 players joined the game with $216 buy-in which obviously made the total prize money above $400k. This money was to be divided among few last poker players who would reach the final table. Although the tournament wasn’t very long it was just a matter of hours before we could see the final table. Many famous poker players including Bloch who has earned more than $4 million in poker was also in the tournament. It was just a matter of 9 hours before we could see last 9 players on the final table. As these 9 players were picked out of above 2000 then it simply means they were the filters and we could expect a good fight. The two big players on the final poker table were muckducks and Ufman. Mucducks recently won a $33k Full Tilt and also won many other tournaments. The same case was with Ufman2. That is why the good fight was being expected. After few hours the results were really unexpected as muckducks was not even near to winning and a very unexpected player SaulGood came up to give Ufman2 a good fight. It was obvious that Ufman2 will win win because of his last year winning records in which he made more than $1 million with just few of the tournaments. But sometimes poker gets so unexpected that you can’t make any predictions. When the final hours were going on, Ufman2 took the lead and Saulgood was left way behind from the winning and it was just a matter of time now because the game was already in the hands of Uffman2. At last, the expected results came in front of our eyes. Ufman2 was able to claim the $113k prize money. The second position was taken by SaulGood with $73k. The last position holder which was the 9th position received $6k prize money which is still a lot because the buy-in was very normal. This tournament was of few hours but it was really fun to watch it because it got too much interesting at the end.

After appreciating him, Joe turned to the audience and fans who came to see him from all over the world. He said that the presence of his fans really matters for him. His humble celebration of the victory really impressed many people. Joe is no doubt a very down to earth person who never show off anything.

2009 was full of so much fun in the poker world. We saw many young players winning the big tournaments by beating the best players of the gambling world. Considering this, we cannot deny that Shelby Township kid cannot win the World Series of Poker. There is no doubt that he is just 21 years old and for a 21-year old, winning the World Series of Poker looks impossible. Saying anything about it will be too early as there are huge chances for him to win this tournament. This boy is going to face Moon who is one of best poker players, tomorrow night. It is expected that the match will go for hours as the competition will be tough. both of them will fight for a huge prize of $8.55 million. Obviously none of them will give up without giving the other person a very good fight. Moon is not at all an online player, he doesn’t even own a computer or email address. The past history of Moon shows that he has won many buy-ins and small tournaments in different countries which will obviously leave some pressure over 21-year old. Moon also eliminated Iver in the tournament when he placed two ace-queens and Ivey had no chance of winning. On this act, Iver said to the public that it is all about winning and it is obviously very disappointing that I didn’t win. Ivey also said that he tried his best to win but it didn’t turn out very well. From this situation you can expect that what kind of a match will be between those two young players. The 21-year old boy is really confident that he will win the tournament as he is in a much better position as compared to Moon but who knows, the came can turn at any time by just one small mistake from any party. If the Shelby township man wins the biggest tournament of poker then obviously his name will be included in some of the best poker players of the world and he will also receive offers from many poker companies.
