Greek Poker Analogies Fly As Default Looms

Henry Heading — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 17:10:05 +0000

With Greeces economy in tatters and the bailout deal with Germany and the Eurozone finance ministers nearing its conclusion, poker analogies have been flying as the two countries attempt to hammer out the best terms for a haircut.

Currently on the agenda is agreeing to a €130 billion ($172 billion) bailout for Greece before it potentially defaults on its €14.5 billion debt repayment due in March.

In return for the deal which would also see Greeces creditors wipe out around 70% of the debt, the EU are expecting Greece to find another €325 billion in budget cuts. Howeve

Travel Diary: EPT Deauville

Joshua Wendt — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 10:01:27 +0000

My usual journeys to EPT destinations are spent with enthusiasm and preparation for my impending week’s work. Having had my 30th birthday party the night before I left for Deauville, turned a few normalities around. I’d had no sleep and was still in a jovial, partying mode, so to get myself to the airport and to Deauville seemed quite the chore. However I was pleasantly surprised by my journey, which saw me take similar to a private jet with Kara Scott and maybe nine others for a 50-minute journey across the English Channel. I reminded myself when we landed I wasn’t that special and I must keep my feet on the ground.

Milestone hands making it rain in 75 billionth hand promo

Joshua Wendt — Sun, 05 Feb 2012 21:01:56 +0000

So, you’re walking down the street. You’ve got your earbuds in, maybe grooving to a little Sly and the Family Stone and thinking about how you wished you had chosen a different pair of underwear to wear that day. Without warning, you trip over a plain brown envelope and fall flat on your face. After the requisite amount of obscenity and personal inventory for injury, you grab the envelope and prepare to throw it in a nearby river. But, first, you think, let’s just check and see what’s inside. Oh, look there. It’s $4,273.60.

What do you do? Do you stuff it in the pocket of your peacoat?

One too many?

Brianna Collee — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 03:32:55 +0000

I think I may have had one too many pints of Guinness in Dublin at the WPT because Ive really been paying for it this week. I spent some time in England, sniffly and croaky-throated, trying desperately to keep this cold/flu/laryngitis/ebola hybrid at bay, but it seems to have caught up with me anyway.

I think that it was probably worth it though because Ireland was so much fun. Its been a while since I was able to hang out with some of the Party Poker/WPT regulars and we made the most of it. I learned a fair amount about people that week, including just who knows ALL of the words to the movie High School Musical and various other bits of gossip.

PCA 2012: Kathy Saraf Wins PCA Women’s Event

Joshua Wendt — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 16:58:28 +0000

They started with 75 players, but in the end, there can only be one winner. After two days and 18 hours of play, the winner in the PokerStars Women Live $1K NLHE event was Kathy Saraf. She and second place finisher Lauren Kling had been playing heads-up for only about half an hour when the key hand came up, the one that would decide the tournament.

Lauren flopped two pair with kings and tens, and Kathy came along with a flush draw. The win for Saraf came with the diamond on the river, and Lauren Kling garnered a consecutive second place finish at the PCA women’s event.

2012 PCA: Faraz Jaka flush going into Day 3

Joshua Wendt — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 19:00:21 +0000

We know these three things about Faraz Jaka. First, he could survive in the wild with a can of tuna and easy access to an able bartender. Second, his name is exceptionally fun to sing to the tune of Frère Jacques. Third, his performance on Day 2 of the PCA earned him the chip lead and the jaw-dropping respect of everyone within eyeshot. At the start of the day, Jaka had 129,500 chips. By the end of the night, he was sitting on 902,500, the runaway chip leader and Day 2 hero.

Oh, also, his fashion sense is still just as good as it always has been.

Randy “Nanonoko” Lew Sets Multi-tabling World Record

Henry Heading — Mon, 09 Jan 2012 16:26:07 +0000

Yesterday, the multi-tabling prodigy Randy Nanonoko Lew set a new world record for the most amount of poker hands played over an eight hour period.

On the sidelines of the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure, Lew sat down to play between 25 and 40 tables simultaneously, with the requirement he makes a profit, so as to discourage just pressing the fold button for the record.

Playing on PokerStars, Lew was up a few hundred dollars at one stage and down $1,200 at another, when he increased the stakes to $5/$10 to make up the shortfall. As he explains:

I was like, ugh, Ive got to chase those losses!

Jonathan Duhamel Robbery Case solved?

Brianna Collee — Sun, 08 Jan 2012 01:47:23 +0000

2010 WSOP Main Event champion Jonathan Duhamel is a good friend of RakeTheRake, and he’s even downed a few drinks with the RakeTheRake girls. So when we heard about the horrific robbery and beating that Duhamel endured, RakeTheRake was shocked and concerned for him.

About a week ago, two men broke into the Canadian’s suburban Montreal home in the morning, and started attacking him. Eventually, they tied Duhamel up and kept hitting him until he told them where the valuables were. With this knowledge in hand, the robbers stole Duhamel’s 2010 Main Event gold bracelet, a Rolex Submariner watch that came from PokerStars, and some money.

Fortunately, it didn’t take the police long to apprehend some suspects, and they have four people in custody. While detai
