GGPoker may feel like a little kid suffering from motion sickness, sitting in the back seat of the car while both parents smoke cigarettes up front after the disrupted start to their World Series of Poker (WSOP), but WSOP.com have a clear head.

Two more bracelet winners to celebrate and both have now stood on the top of the podium, twice.

We start with Tony ‘Panoramic’ Dunst, and the World Poker Tour (WPT) host made hasty work of Event #21: $777 No Limit Hold’em, conquering the 1,361-entrants (849-unique, 512- re-entries) field to win the bracelet and $168,342 in prize money.

Dunst won his first bracelet in 2016, taking down a $1,000 No Limit Hold’em event. He came mighty close to winning his second when he finished runner-up to Carl Shaw in a $5,000 No Limit Hold’em bracelet event, last year. The Las Vegas resident is also a WPT Main Event champion, and also finished second in the 2016 Aussie Millions Main Event

Here are the results.

Kevin ‘therealkg’ Gerhart won his second bracelet in successive years adding Event #20: $500 PLO 6-Handed to the 363-entrant $1,500 Razz event that he owned last year.

Gerhart defeated a field of 1,137-entrants (627 unique, 510 re-entries) to win the Pot-Limit Omaha event. He also won a 727-entrant $600 No Limit Hold’em in December at the Wynn Winter Classic for $70k.

Las Vegas resident, and former PocketFives World #1, Chris Moorman, finished fourth. The British pro won a $3,000 No Limit Hold’em 6-Handed bracelet in 2017, and he is also a World Poker Tour (WPT) Champion after winning the 2014 LA Poker Classic for a million bucks.

Pat Lyons has won a World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet while dunking digestives into is tea. Playing under the pseudonym “IchiiKawawa”, Lyons ran his samurai sword through a 1,382-entrant field comprising of 917 individuals who bought in 465 times in Event #17: $777 No-Limit Hold’em.

Lyons first appeared in poker news headlines across the grain of sand that we hog in this world back in 2016. First, he won the $1,100 No Limit Hold’em Main Event at the Arizona State Poker Championships beating 1,510 entrants to win $241,700, before going on to top a field of 687-entrants in the $4,000 World Poker Tour (WPT) Legends of Poker Main Event in LA for a personal best score of $615,346.

$1.5m in live tournament earnings comprises of 11 tournament wins, including a World Series of Poker Circuit (WSOPC) gold ring after beating 124-entrants in a $580 No Limit Hold’em Turbo event at The Bike in LA two-years ago.

With more than $2.8m in live tournament earnings, Jim Collopy headlined the final table. Collopy has been fortunate enough to be intoxicated by a WSOP final table on numerous occasions, including winning one during the World Series of Poker Asia-Pacific (WSOP-APAC) event in Australia back in 2013. Collopy also won $10k & $25k games in December and January and finished second to Erkut Yilmaz in the WPT Rolling. Thunder Main Event. Collopy’s adventure ended when Barry Wenger’s AK killed KJ when all-in with the inferior chip stack.

Other in-form players included Scott Hempel who finished sixth in the WPT LA Poker Classic Main Event in March. Julian Parmann finished runner-up to Terrel “Heezahustla” Cheatham in Event #16: $500 No Limit Hold’em Turbo, and in January Jonathan Dokler won a 77-entrant $5,100 No Limit Hold’em High Roller at the WPT Borgata Winter Poker Open for $100,829.

The only high roller that went deeper than a crusty bread roll in leek and potato soup was Daniel Negreanu, finishing 123rd.

It’s time to take a gander at the weekend action at GGPoker as well as a snifter at the Stadium Series action over at PokerStars.

We begin at the grand racecourse of GGPoker, and all binoculars were on Stephen Chidwick, who won two events ($5k and $10k) and also finished runner-up in a $10k (those $10k events were Short-Deck events).

Chidwick wasn’t the only star sitting under the $10k parasols who bagged a brace, Isaac Haxton booked two wins in $10k Short Deck events to add to his considerable reputation at the highest stakes.

Seth Davies picked up a win and a second in $10k events, and Sam Greenwood earned a win, second and third. Sergi Reixach played the bridesmaid role with three runner-up finishes across the $10k Short Deck games.

Here are those results in full.

Lex Veldhuis Wins a PokerStars Stadium Series Title

Triton commentator and broadcaster, Lex Veldhuis, reminded everyone of his silky skills at the poker table after taking down the 243-entrant $2,100 No Limit Hold’em event during the Stadium Series on PokerStars.

Final table incumbents moored their yachts, not parked bikes, to participate in this one. Mike ‘SirWatts’ Watson (2nd), Ivan ‘Negriin’ Luca (5th), Pablo ‘pabritz’ Brito Silva (6th), and Aliaksei “ale6ka” Boika (7th) squeezed into the elevator with he Twitch phenom. ‘MiracleQ’ finished ninth. In Aug he competed in a $1m Spin & Go, finishing second for $100k).

Veldhuis enchanted more than 26,000 people while bagging a personal-best $96,143.60, beating his previous best score of $91,695 after finishing runner-up to ‘GODofHU’ in a $2,100 No Limit Hold’em during the PokerStars World Championship of Online Poker (WCOOP) in September.

As Veldhuis inches closer to his first six-figure online score Triton may have to go looking for his replacement if he keeps this up.

In other Stadium Series results, the former PocketFives World #1, Michael ‘munchenHB’ Telker, took down the $530, $1m GTD No Limit Hold’em for $157,004. The former Super Tuesday winner, Alisson ‘heyalisson’ Piekazewicz conquered a field of 1,347 entrants in a $1,050 No Limit Hold’em event for $185,376 after cutting a deal with Luan ‘Pseduo Fruto’ Piekazewicz

After spending the morning in the thrall of a praying mantis chewing the head of a cricket (who continued to walk around in a daze for several hours later), I am a little sick of bugs. However, this writer’s discomfort pales into the perpetual doldrums of monotony compared to the quelling of excitement over at GGPoker today.

With the 2020 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Online action coming to a close at WSOP.com, GGPoker cut the ribbon on their launch into the gold bracelet business, and it has gone as smoothly as a picnic surrounded by seagulls on Skomer Island.

The organisers had to suspend play in both Event #32: $100 The Opener and Event #33: $1,111 Every 1 For COVID Relief, due to a ‘critical bug’ caused by the sheer number of entrants in the Opener (29,306) coupled with a high volume of observers. This deadly mix caused the servers to crash, and to make things worse, GGPoker also suffered a Distributed denial of Service (DDoS) attack.

There are 3,690 players left in ‘The Opener’ and GGPoker will return the buy-in to each of them in the form of tournament tickets. There are 1,418 entrants from a field of 1,598 in the COVID Relief event, and the organisers have doubled the $177,378 currently collected for charity.

Event #32 resumes July 26 18:30 UTC and Event #33 on the same day at 18:00.

All players begin with current stack sizes.

GGPoker has doubled its server capacity to avoid a repeat occurrence, and added a second layer of DDoS protection.

Kenny “Chopuh” Huynh Wins Event #19: $400 No Limit Hold’em

There was no such depressing news for the titans attempting to win a bracelet on American soil.

Event #19: $400 No Limit Hold’em attracted 2,545-entrants (1,757 unique, 788 re-entries), and Kenny “Chopuh” Huynh showed great artistry to weave his way to the summit and $133,857 first prize.

Huynh has earned $212,130 playing live tournaments and not once has he made money in a WSOP event played in the world of brick and mortar. In February he booked a personal-best $80,298 for finishing runner-up to Joel Deutsch in a $550 No Limit Hold’em tournament at the Parx Casino in Bensalem.

Hunter Frey was Huyn’s primary hazard coming into the final table. Frey has a solid resume with a third in a $2,000 No Limit Hold’em event, seventh in a $1,000 No Limit Hold’em in 2011, and third in a $1,500 No Limit Hold’em in 2013. Frey had to make do with sixth in this one.

Here are the results.

Event #19: $400 No Limit Hold’em

2,545-entrants (1,757 unique, 788 re-entries)

  1. Kenny “Chopuh” Huynh – $133,857

Two high rollers than dived deeper than the precipitous Mariana Trench were Ryan Riess (70th), Matt Berkey (75th),

Scott ‘BudLightLime’ Hempel is a World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet winner after a couple of crazy nights at the WSOP.com tables. Hempel became a colour on the canvas of Event #17: $777 No Limit Hold’em finishing seventh, before turning gold in the proceeding event.

Hempel conquered a field of 987-entrants (697 unique, 290 re-entries) in Event #18: $1,000 No Limit Hold’em. His $181,060 purse is a few grand shy of the $185,330 he picked up, finishing sixth in the World Poker Tour (WPT) LA Poker Classic in March. Hempel has finished in the money in only two other WSOP events for nothing more than gnarled bark.

Barry Hutter was the only gold bracelet winner to make the final table. With more than $5.8m in live tournament earnings, Hutter, is a big hitter, with roots in the high roller scene in Las Vegas. Hutter won his bracelet in 2015, winning a 1,000 entrant $1,500 No Limit Hold’em Shootout for $283,546. In 2018, Hutter finished 25th in the Main Event and finished runner-up to Diogo Veiga in a $3k No Limit Hold’em event.

Hutter also owns a World Series of Poker Circuit (WSOPC) gold ring after taking down an event in New Orleans, more than a decade ago, the same period that Daniel Fischer earned his in Atlantic City. Hutter finished fifth, and Fischer took fourth.

For every winner, there is someone who had a fantastic experience that nobody will ever care about, and in this report that experience belongs to Dave ‘dunningkrugr’ Alfa who ran deep in both Event #17 & #18 events, finishing ninth in them both.

Here are the results.

Event #18: $1,000 No Limit Hold’em

987-entrants (697 unique, 290 re-entries)

  1. Scott ‘BudLightLime’ Hempel – $181,060

  8. Matthew ‘EarvinMagic’ Parry – $16,784

Two high rollers to plunge deeper than an asparagus spear in runny egg yolk were Ryan Riess (32nd) and Phil Hellmuth (97th).

The 2020 World Poker Series (WSOP) Online has smashed its way through its midway point like a cider maker goes through his apples, and that means we have another bracelet winner.

Terrell “Heezahustia” Cheatham is now one of those people who will forever be known as “Yeah, but he won his online,” after outlasting 1,043 people who ended up having to deal with the vicissitudes of life, minus a gold bracelet.

Those 1,043 entrants, plus Cheatham, added 484 re-entries to the mix, bringing the total number of crusty bread roll eaters to 1,528, and Cheatham’s hands flew into the air less than eight hours after it had begun.

Cheatham’s record is not an illustrious one, but he felt the ‘rush’ before ending in 106th place in the 28,371-entrant BIG 50 last year. Cheatham overcame the more experienced Julian “Julian” Parmann, heads-up to win the title. Parmann finished 41st in the 2015 WSOP Main Event, and fourth in a $2,500 Limit Hold’em 6-Handed event won by Dutch Boyd in 2010. Andrea “Andrewbull88” Buonocore was the only other player with previous WSOP final table experience finishing fourth in a $1,000 No Limit Hold’em Double Stack event last year.

Here are the results in full.

Results

  1. Terrell “Heezahustia” Cheatham – $116,204
  2. Julian “Julian” Parmann – $71,648
  3. Lev “MeThinks” Milman – $51,570
  4. Marc “Mojosmarc” Bernal – $37,474

The Stars Come Out For Covid-19 Charity Event

Once the action ends Stateside, it’s up to GGPoker to fly the WSOP flag, globally, and one event, in particular, is causing a stir.

Event #33: ‘Every 1 for COVID Relief’ will donate the $111 entry fee to Caesars employees who have suffered throughout the pandemic, and a plethora of sports stars and top-notch poker pros have confirmed attendance.

Riddick Bowe and Jason Quigley will swap boxing gloves for the deck. The youngest man to ever win Wimbledon, Boris Becker, will appear. As will, mixed martial artists Elias Theodorou & Patrick Côté, and Brazilian actor Leo Lins.

From the world of poker, Tony G, Fedor Holz, and Bertrand “ElkY” Grospellier will all compete.

GGPoker has already raised more than $250,000 for various COVID related initiatives.

The $1,111 No Limit Hold’em event runs July 19 14:30 (CET).

If you were to stick lab rats into a room full of poker TV shows and gave them the remote control, you would learn that the World Poker Tour (WPT) is one of poker’s most potent gateway drugs. 

So when they realised to survive the pandemic they would have to move operations online, they picked partypoker to be the salt cellar for their salt. 

So what happens when you shift the upmarket WPT, online?

You get an upmarket online experience. 

partypoker hosts the WPT World Online Championships from Friday, July 17 to Wednesday, September 9, guaranteeing an asthma attack-inducing $100m in prize money. 

But you knew that, right?

What you didn’t know, is that the WPT and partypoker have struck a deal with their live event partner ShareHand to recreate the live experience during the online championships.

The Deal

ShareHand is the wizard behind the beautiful production of the WPT, MILLIONS and Triton Poker Super High Roller Series live tournaments. If they can create a tenth of the value they bring to the live operation we will fall in love with it no matter what hovel we watch it from. 

ShareHand will produce the final table of the 12 championship events, all of which will stream live on partypokerTV, partypoker’s Twitch channel, partypoker.com, YouTube and Facebook.

The action at the final table will showcase cards face-up with a short delay, and real name will replace online pseudonyms. The winners of the five WPT Championship Cup events will earn a seat into the WPT Champions Club.

Commentary

Commentary comes from the best in the business. partypoker’s Mike Sexton gets reacquainted with his old pans Vince van Patten and Tony Dunst, and James Dempsey, Joey Ingram, and Matt Savage join with the latter taking the focal role during the WPT Championship Cup events. 

An array of partypoker ambassadors will guest star in the commentary booth including Jason Koon, Roberto Romanello, Sam Trickett, Ludovic Geilich and Isaac Haxton. 

Outside of the English stream, the chinwag comes from Dmitry Shakhov and Ilya Gorodetskiy (Russian); Stefan Hachmeister and Christian Gross (German); Gaston Catzman and Santiago Garcia (Spanish); and Marcos Sketch and Thiago Crema De Macedo (Portuguese).

James Dempsey and Henry Kilbane will supplement the WPT Championship coverage by focusing on the side event action two to four times per week during the festival, screening on partypokerTV. 

Ship out the rats.

Plugin those mice.

The partypoker High Roller Club has ended, and Rok Gostisa is the champion.

The partypoker peeps hadn’t updated the leaderboard by the time I wrote this little chipped plate of a piece. Still, neither Artur Martirosian, Alex Foxen, Wiktor Malinowski or Ali Imsirovic did enough on the final day to over Gostisa at the top.

Martirosian did finish fifth in the $1k, and Foxen grabbed an eighth in the $530, but once Gostisa finished third in the $5k, there was only one wizard left standing in Emerald City.

The Slovenian picks up $30,000 for his ridiculous performances since the 7 June, proving that he is one of the top online poker multi-table tournament (MTT) crushers in the high stakes world, right now.

While Gostisa deserves most of the plaudits, we will save some for these folks.

Teun Mulder capped off an excellent personal performance in the High Roller Club by winning the $10k and finishing runner-up in the $1k. Pascal Lefrancois won the $5k, Niklas Astedt took down the $1k, and David Cowling won the $530 Turbo Knockout.

We will add the leaderboard results posthumously.

In the meantime, here are the results on the final day.

The 2015 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event Champion has three gold charms and only two wrists after winning Event #14: $3,200 No Limit Hold’em High Roller during the 2020 WSOP Online Series.

It’s a beautiful problem to have.

When you have waded through 6,420 players to win the most prestigious poker tournament in the world, everything else must feel like Boring Sponge on an oyster, but McKeehen would have enjoyed this one.

The event attracted 496-entrants, and McKeehen picked up $352,985 for the win after beating Frank ‘thewholefunk’ Funaro in heads-up action. Roland ‘prngls12’ Israelashvili finished third. The man with the unenviable claim of making the most WSOP cashes (rings/bracelets) without winning a bracelet, had only ventured this far once before, finishing third in the 2013 Little One for One Drop event.

Here are the results.

Event #14: $3,200 No Limit Hold’em High Roller

Guy ‘Philaak’ Dunlap Wins Event #15: $1,000 PLO 8-Max High Roller

Guy ‘Philaak’ Dunlap took down the Pot Limit Omaha (PLO) High Roller. The $1,000 investment was considerably lower than the $3,200 McKeehen paid to secure his payday, but $133,780 will do nicely.

Dunlap had previously finished in the money in nine live WSOP bracelet events before winning this one. The deepest he had ever mined came in 2013, ending 35/3164 in a $1,000 No Limit Hold’em event.

Bracelet winners Matt ‘jacksup’ Matris and Anthony ‘hehe’ Zinno also made the final table, as you can see, below.

Here are the results.

Two other high rollers who went deeper than a set of coal tongs in a burning hot fire were Calvin Anderson (11th) and Erik Seidel (60th).

As the partypoker High Roller Club enters its final day, a Slovenian who is yet to see his name in diamond-studded headlines is the likeliest to win the orioles when all is said and done.

Rok Gostisa entered the penultimate day with a 210-point over Artur Martirosian and a 368-point lead over the one-time leader Alex Foxen. After cashing in three of the four games on Tuesday night, Gostisa’s lead is now 380 points.

Gostisa’s silky skills and close alliance to the Poker Gods saw him rise through Tuesday’s ranks like a virus, finishing fourth in the $5k, sixth in the $1k, and sixth in the $530. Martirosian, Foxen, Wiktor Malinowski and Ali Imsirovic all failed to gain any traction in the aesthetic realm of the High Roller leaderboard.

Jonathan Van Fleet was the biggest winner on the night, taking down the 31-entrant $5k event for $71,300. Vyacheslav Buldygin won the $2.5k for $33,750, Roberto Romanello won the $1k for $20,400.01, and Damian Zurek binked $10,576.08 for winning the $530 Knockout.
