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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The final of World Series of Poker was held few days ago. Many people came to see the final match between the best players of the poker world. Although they didn’t get the entertainment they were looking for because the match didn’t last for the whole day but it was completed in just few early hours of the Tuesday morning. Those few hours were full of tension as the competition was going very tough when suddenly one of the poker players turned the table. Joe Cada, a player who is just 21-years old showed the world that how much talent he has. No one was even expecting him in the final of this great tournament in which the biggest players of poker were also eliminated. On Tuesday morning, the competition was really tough but suddenly did some tricks and it didn’t take much time for him to confirm that he is going to win the tournament. The opponent of Joe was also very tough player who also had won many big tournaments in the past. After winning the game, Joe didn’t celebrate his victory in some kind of odd manner but he simply appreciated the runner-up that he gave him a tough time. 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. Joe’s was not only awarded with the title and the prize money but he was also given the name of an ambassador. This is surely an honor for him. It is said that he will be the best future poker player because he has a lot of time ahead of him as he is just 21-years old. This kid defeated the best poker players during the whole tournament and at the end, all the results were in front of his eyes. It is expected that from now on Joe Cada will be participating in almost all the major tournaments which are held all over the word during the year.

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.
