Tag: Linus Loeliger

If you’ve tuned into the Super High Roller Bowl Online (SHRBO) coverage, there’s a hangover coming.

It’s over.

Well, nearly.

The preliminary rounds are over, and going into the final day, it came down to a battle between a Swede and Russian for the $102,000 SHRBO seat.

Going into the final triumvirate of tournaments, Viktor Blom led the way, with Artur Martirosian in second place. If Blom could put in a better performance than Martirosian, then nothing the Russian could do would prevent the online legend from finishing on top of the podium.

It didn’t happen.

Blom failed to cash in any of the last three events.

In contrast, Martirosian put in another sterling performance, finishing runner-up to Linus Loeliger in the $25,500 No Limit Hold ’em event, and third and tenth in the final $10,300 No Limit Hold ’em events to generate an additional 351-points, sailing to the top of the leaderboard.

The Russian is one of the newest high rollers on the block, and it’s been quite the entrance, adding the $1.8m earned in the SHRBO preliminaries to the $1.3m accumulated during the Poker Masters Online Series a few weeks ago.

Martirosian will be one of the favourites competing in the $102,000 SHRBO, but who will join him?

Samuel Vousden crushed the 103-entrant field in Event #25: $10,300 No Limit Hold ’em. Vousden toppled the two-time SHRB winner, Timothy Adams, heads-up, to earn $252,350 – will he invest it in an SHRBO seat?

Linus Loeliger was the biggest earner of the Poker Masters Online Series ($1.5m), and he hasn’t done too poorly in this one. The Swiss star ended the series with $833,532 in gross profit, with $520,000 earned after he defeated Martirosian in the heads-up phase of Event #26: $25,500 No Limit Hold ’em – will he invest it in an SHRBO seat?

Finally, Michael Addamo overcame the 88-entrant field in Event #27: $10,300 No Limit Hold ’em to secure the $228,800 first prize after beating Mikita Badziakouski in heads-up action – will he invest it in an SHRBO seat?

The $102,000 SHRBO starts Tuesday 2 June, as does the final event Event #29: $10,300 No Limit Hold ’em.

The Super High Roller Bowl Online (SHRBO) continues to block out sunbeams as it cruises across the chaotic and choppy waters of partypoker. Three events dropped a few million bucks into bank accounts with the nonchalance of mother nature dropping a few withered leaves onto the ground.

Here they are.

The phenomena known as Adrian Mateos banked the most significant prize of the day. The Spaniard trounced a field of 61-entrants in Event #17: $25,500 No Limit Hold’em. His award of $527,509.70 is the third most magnificent of the series behind Justin Bonomo ($622,634), and Daniel Dvoress ($613,986.70). It was the second time Mateos had scrambled over the precipice of the in the money (ITM) strata finishing fifth in Event #14. Mateos got the better of Seth Davies, heads-up. Davies also finished third in Event #12 recently.

Artur Martirosian won Event #16 $10,300 No Limit Hold’em. The Russian star hammered 75-entrants to claim the $234,604.50 first prize, continuing a run of form that’s seen him win two Spring Championship of Online Poker (SCOOP) titles in May.

Linus Loeliger pulverised the 76-entrant field in Event #18: $10,300 No Limit Hold’em. The Swiss star earned $237,732.56 for the win, his first ITM finish of the series. Vicent Bosca Ramon finished second, and there was another Top 3 finish for David Peters, in third.

Here are the results.

Nine more events are yet to stumble over the horizon before the $102,000 SHRBO Main Events comes into view.

With church pews empty due to the spread of Coronavirus (COVID-19) for some, the poker table became the place to say their prayers, three of whom received answers.

The Poker Masters Online Series had a bumper Sunday on partypoker with three events falling like dominos, and the first to tumble in this omnibus is Event #16: $25,500 No-Limit Hold’em (NLHE).

Heading into the weekend, the names ‘Jason Koon’ hadn’t graced the headlines during the Poker Masters Online Series, but he burst into song taking down the most substantial single payout of the series so far.

The charm and challenge of a $25,000 event attracted 72-entrants like hatboxes on Derby Day, and it was the partypoker ambassador who lasted longer than anyone to bank the $549,000 first prize.

Koon defeated Justin Bonomo, heads-up, and although the former All-Time Money List leader will be disappointed to finish as the bridesmaid for the second time during the series, he has now earned more de Niro’s than anyone in the tournament ($606,974), so he won’t be threading a needle through his eyeball just yet.

Other notables names in the money (ITM) included the first score for Dan Smith and a sixth score for Juan Pardo Dominguez.

Here are the results.

Results

  1. Jason Koon – $549,000
  2. Justin Bonomo – $369,000
  3. Steve O’Dwyer – $252,000
  4. Conor Beresford – $162,000
  5. Juan Pardo Dominguez – $126,000
  6. Dario Sammartino – $99,000
  7. Joni Jouhkimainen – $85,500
  8. Dan Smith – $81,000
  9. Ole Schemion – $76,500

Here are the results.

Linus Loeliger Wins Event #18: $10,300 NLHE Six-Max

Linus Loeliger joined Koon in the ‘one-time’ club after taking down Event #18: $10,300 NLHE Six-Max. The prodigious talents of the Swiss star overcame the in-form Artur Martirosian, heads-up, to claim the $202,800 first prize.

The Russian moves into third place overall after finishing in the Top 3 spots three times in four ITM finishes. A hat tip to Chris Hunichen who recorded his sixth ITM finish, although he’s yet to find the luck needed to place higher than he has been.

Here are the results.

Ryan Riess had beaten 6,352 entrants to become the World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event winner, Daniel Negreanu had won the WSOP Player of the Year award for an unprecedented second time, and a young poker enthusiast from Switzerland decided to open a thread on 2+2 and write this:
“I’m 19 years old living in Switzerland and been playing poker for a few months, and I’ve read a few books and tons of threads on this forum. I’m gonna start a challenge, where I update graphs, hands and other stuff. With this new challenge I switched to a new site, Pokerstars and I’m starting at NL10 6 max with a 15 BI – BRM. My goal is to get to 100NL by the end of the year 2013.”

His name?
 “My stars-name is “llinusllove.”
A month later, and the 19-year old writes:
“Worst. Day. Ever. -200USD just today.”
A poster responds:
“Gl in this project, I’ll be following! You can make it to NL20 one day; I have faith!”

Over the weekend, LlinusLLove, topped a field of 105-entrants to win Event #43 (H) $25,000 Eight-Max No-Limit Hold’em Super High Roller at the PokerStars World Championship of Online Poker (WCOOP) securing $587,747.32 in the process.
Whaddya know, the kid must have gotten out of 10NL.
LlinusLLove remained anonymous for the first three years of his bankroll challenge. Years later, when asked why he didn’t come out sooner, he would tell PokerStars’ Brad Willis usually there’s nothing good coming from it.
He has a point.
He was 22 when someone leaked his full name to HighStakesDatabase (HSDB), and fast forward to today, and in addition to the half a million dollars he has just put away playing an online tournament, Loeliger has won $807,000 pure profit in 2018 alone playing No-Limit Hold’em and Pot-Limit Omaha cash games. All told, Loeliger is $1.4m in profit since depositing $240 on PokerStars to begin his bankroll challenge.
It couldn’t have been a smooth ride for Loeliger on the $25,000 High RollerFinal Table. Both Chris ‘Big Huni- Hunichen and Patrick ‘pads1161′ Leonard are former PocketFives World #1’s, not to mention the quality of the likes of Henrik “hhecklen’ Hecklen, Michael ‘mczhang’ Chi Zhang and Rachid ‘SkaiWalkurrr’ Ben Cherif.
But this lad is mustard.
 
Here are the final table results.
