Poker In America
Tim Kopp of PokerPages writes about Poker in America

See the video clips of the World Poker Open

Greenstein With Envy

Hello again everyone and welcome to Poker in America. Pitchers and Catchers have just reported to spring training and that can only mean 2 things. Warm weather is just around the corner and it's time to head to California and the L.A. Poker Classic. It's been several weeks since we last met however, so let's take some time to see what's been happening in the fantastic world of poker.

Habib KhanisWhen we last left off action at the 5th Annual Jack Binion World Poker Open was shifting into high gear. We has just played the first of the $1,000 Buy-in events and were headed into the 2nd of the increased buy-ins in Event 9 Limit Hold'em. For just about the first time since the beginning of the WPO, the final table featured all amateurs, with the exception if Texan Vinny Vinh, who ended up being the first player out, finishing 9th ($3,726). Iraqi born, Habib Khanis dazzled the final table to take 1st place rather quickly. Although Khanis has a number of previous tournament victories and final table appearances to his name, including major events held at the Commerce Casino and Oceans 11 in California, this was Khanis' biggest win to date. Along with the diamond bracelet Khanis banked $86,157.

Steve KaufmanEvent 10, Pot Limit Omaha Hi. The $1,000 buy-in kept with the trend and 141 players took their seats. Dr. Steve Kaufman, a professor and Rabbi from Cinncinatti, OH, seemed like an unlikely Champ when Day 2 started as he entered play last in chips. No worry for the Professor though, Kaufman won $48,733 and his first gold and diamond bracelet in a dramatic final table finish.

Robert WillisFor Event 11 it was Omaha Hi/lo with re-buys for a $1,000 buy-in. With 152 players and 259 rebuys the prize pool grew to a tasty $376,817. This is the 5th year of the WPO and in that time only 4 players had won a WPO event more than once (3 players this year). After play was over in event 10, we would have our 5th. Robert Willis of Grenada, MS wound up taking a crisp $150,726 for his 2nd 1st place finish in the $1,000 Omaha events.

Kelli VociThe following day it was Ladies Only and a $200 buy-in Women's Hold'em Championship. Now, say what you will about women having their own events, but 254 players is probably the biggest Ladies only event I recall ever seeing. So, right or wrong, poker is moving in the right direction. Kelli Voci of Mays Landing, NJ would probably agree. Kelli ended up taking 1st place and $17,685… Oh, and a dozen roses.

Douglas FarmerIt was back to business the following day with the $1,000 No Limit Hold'em event and event 13. Big numbers were expected for this event and the players didn't disappoint as 404 players pushed the prize pool over the $400K mark, another WPO record. Douglas "Deadly Venom" Farmer, makes Southwestern-style jewelry for a living in Colorado. Farmer added another piece of jewelry, the coveted gold and diamond bracelet to his collection for the win. The $136,985 for first place probably didn't hurt either.

Mariealena CalabreseOnwards to Event 14 and 7-Card Stud, $1,000 buy-in of course. Mariealena Calabrese has been a well-known big money cash game player in Atlantic City for years, though had never won a major event. All that changed in event 14 when she tried to break that trend. 79 players fell and when it was over Mariealena was $29,732 wiser. With her victory, Calabrese became the third woman to win an open event in the five-year history of the JBWPO. She joins Melissa Hayden (2000) and Cecilia Mortensen (2003) as the previous female champions.

Billy DuarteEvent 15 it was back to Hold'em, though this time it was of the Pot Limit variety. The $1,000 buy-in event drew 229. Billy Duarte, who had started day 2 event as the chip leader appeared to have everything under control and was ready to collect the $76,062 for first place but when heads-up against George Abdallah of Houston, TX things got a little scary as the 2 players were almost even in chips. Duarte looked down to see AA and felt it was time to move them all in. When the board brought 2 more aces, Billy's quad Aces couldn't be touched. The win marked a personal milestone for Duarte, who has made several previous final tables at the Jack Binion World Poker Open during its five-year history. But up until tonight, the coveted gold and diamond bracelet had eluded him.

Paul TestudEver forward we move along to Event 16, Limit 7- Card Stud. A star-studded lineup of poker veterans took their seats. When the final table features the likes of Humberto Brenes, John Bonetti, you had better bring your "A" game. That is unless your name is Paul Testud, then you just play like you normally do. Of course, that's just what the Frenchman did to secure first place and $30,862. This was Paul's 1st WPO win.

Mike PuglieseNext we moved into the home stretch of the WPO, from here on out, it would cost at least $2,000 if you wanted a seat. An impressive 309 players did just that to create a prize pool of over a half a million dollars making the day's total purse the largest non main event prize pool. Mike Pugliese, a former casino dealer from New Jersey was the man of the hour when he took down the winning the match with the Nut Straight 2 hours and 20 minutes into day 2. For his efforts Mike took away $211,485.

Raj KattamuriThe following day in Event 18 is was another $2,000 buy in but this day it would be Limit Hold'em and a smaller crowd was expected. Though it was still a nice turn out of 174 players. In his first ever live tournament Raj Kattamuri took the $127,016 prize for 1st place. He started playing poker online about six months ago and developed a strong desire to play live tournament poker. Kattamuri, who works a full-time job, decided to make the Jack Binion World Poker Open and see what all the excitement was about. Looks like it was a pretty darn good decision.

Vassilios ManiotisAs is normally the case with a Major event, the day before normally has a budget buy-in. Some say it's to give the rail birds one last chance to make a score to get into the main event, other say it's to keep the "losing players" at the casino for an extra day. Whatever the case it's normally a fun day of poker and when re-buys are involved, it's always entertaining. This day there was 296 players and 399 rebuys. Vassilios Maniotis, a restaurant owner in Greece took the day's honors and collected $69,925 for his efforts.

Randy JensenIt was now time for the $10,000 buy-in Main Event. Players from all corners of the Country filled the tournament room. 1 Million dollars was guaranteed for 1st place, and with 367 players showing up, that wasn't going to be a problem. Also there'd be plenty of money left over for the runner's up with $3,455,050 prize pool. This was a 3 day event and at the end of day one only 132 player remained. Only 27 places would get paid. Randy Jensen was the chip leader after day one. In day 2 Randy would lose only a small bit of ground as he lost the chip lead late in the day but still held the number 2 spot in chips.David Pham Pro Player David Pham held chip leader honors. Though David would eventually be eliminated in 14th place, day one leader Randy Jensen would make it all the way to heads up with the eventual winner Barry Greenstein. Barry, who plays professional poker all over the world beat Jensen in what will become know as an epic battle. For his 3-day effort, Barry collected a cool $1,278,370. I think we'll be seeing more of Barry this year at the other Majors.Barry Greenstein

Once again the WPO didn't disappoint. Who knows, maybe this will become the Year's Premier poker event in years to come. Special thanks to Nolan Dalla and PokerPages founder Mark Napolitano for the great coverage through out the entire event. Well done! See the video clips of the World Poker Open

February's big event has always been the L.A. Poker Classic at the Commerce Casino. Play has been going on all month long and we're just about to go into the Main Event, the 4-day World Poker Open $10,000 buy-in No Limit Hold 'Em. Our friend Max Shipiro has been at the Commerce since the opening of the event doing the daily reports, so lets take a look at the highlights from what's been another Classic indeed.

Rusty MandapPlay opened up in Event 1 and the Casino Employee's Limit Hold'em. Dealers and floor personnel from all over the country paid the $300 for their seat. In all, 93 players represented their respective casinos. Rusty Mandap the Hawaiian Gardens tournament director for the past few years took first place, but settled on a deal with 2nd place finisher Tamir "The Mad Egyptian" From Canterbury Park Casino.

Sirous BaghchehsaraieMoving along to event 3 was the first of the No Limit Hold'em events that were open to the public. In the first of only 2 events that had buy-in as low as $300, event 3 had a $25,000 guarantee. This event figured to have the largest turnout of the entire event. With 678 player 745 rebuys this match was a real barnburner. An amazing $536,700 prize pool was up for grabs. When was the last time you saw a $300 buy in event crack a half a Mil'? I'm not sure if I've ever seen it. My favorite name in poker, Sirous Baghchehsaraie, a California pro for many years took home the very easy to take 1st place prize of $182,408.

Over we go to Event 8 and the 7-Card Stud Championship. To this point event 8 was featured the largest buy-in to date in the tournament. A nice prize pool awaited the 165 players in this event 16 places would get to split up $297,500. WPO Champion Barry Greenstein was in the hunt when play went to 2 tables, but he had to settle for 16th place. This day the glory would go to Joe Baron of Huntington Beach, CA. In a great effort Joe collected $116,015.

Andy MillerThe next big event was Event 10. It was Limit hold'em, but the sweetener was the fact that there was a 1 Million guaranteed prize pool. The $1,000 buy-in attracted 450 players and re-bought 297 times. Fellow Texan and part time Tournament circuit player Andy Miller made all the right moves to collect the 1st place share a hair under $500,000.

AmazonOnto Event 12. This $1,000 buy-in No Limit Hold'em figured to also draw a good number of players, and it did not disappoint with 403 players and $400,000 prize pool. A 75-year-old retiree from Sao Paulo, Brazil, "Amazon" took all the other youngsters to the bank. For his efforts "Amazon" brought back $149,100 American dollars to his home in Brazil.

Tom FisherThe game of H.O.E (Hold'em, Omaha hi/lo) has always been a great test of poker skill as you have to mix not only a keen knowledge of both games, you have to be able change gears and get keep your mind on both games when the pressure is on. With a $1,000 buy in, you know that the poker elite would be well represented. And well represented they were. Among the money finishers were John Bonetti (7th), Sam Grizzle (5th), and Ken Flanton 2nd. But the king of the HOE in event #17 was another well-known Nevada player, Tom Fisher. Tom starts off the year in fine fashion with a $34,400 win.

Can HuaOn to Event 18 the buy in's were elevated a bit to $1,500. It was more No Limit Hold'em. In what Max Shipiro called an astounding "chip and a chair" performance, Can Hua, a California Native came back from staggering odds that were stacked against him. With the Blinds at $1000-2000, Can only had 3 $100 chips left. Surviving several back-to-back "all-ins" to come back and win the event. This impressive effort netted Hua $184,815. Hua has numerous tournament victories including 7-stud wins at Legends, the World Poker Open and the Cal State poker championship, and a hold'em win at Winnin' o' the Green.

Poker In Europe
Kevin Pratt of PokerPages writes about Poker in Europe

The Euro Finals of Poker at the Aviation in Paris was the place for poker in Europe during February.

Christophe JossecEvent 1 was the traditional €50 No Limit Hold'em which went to home player Christophe Jossec who won €1,940 in his first European win. French players took 9 of the 10 money places in this event.

Julian ShivEvent 3 was another €50 No Limit Hold'em and was again dominated by the French with Julian Shiv emerging the winner and collecting €2,900.

In my previous newsletter I mentioned that Rob Hollink was the player to be feared in the Omaha tournaments and he didn't disappoint by coming 5th in the European Omaha Rob HollinkChampionship but he also managed to win the €100 Dealers Choice and €4,600.

The first big event was the €500 No Limit Hold'em which saw 54 players enter with the spoils and €9,850 going to Patrick Hayoun. Patrick has regularly played in the Aviation festivals but this was his first win after a string of 2nd places stretching back to 2000.

Dave ColcloughThe €3,000 Omaha Championship saw 44 entries and 19 rebuys creating a prize pool of €179,600. There were some big names in the final including Phillipe Marmorstein, Rob Hollink, Barny Boatman and Robert Williamson III from the USA but it was European No1 Dave Colclough who came out on top adding another €71,000 to his bankroll. Dave is in fine form recently and hopefully this will continue to the WSOP where he would be amongst the favorites for the World Omaha Championship.

The first ever European Seniors Championship saw 33 players contend for a prizepool of €30,700. Dave Barnes from the UK a previous winner of the Walsall Quarter Million came 2nd to Frenchman Roger Hairbedian who took home €11,700.

Mario BentevidoItalian Mario Bentevido scored in the €1,000 Omaha Hi/Lo picking up €16,400 from a field of 45 players. Mario has previously been placed in Slovenia, Spain and Austria in the past with his only other win being in Seefeld in 2002.

Paul MaxfieldThe main event was the €5,000 European No Limit Hold'em Championship which saw 45 players compete for a prizepool of €213,700. Dave Colclough nearly made it a double in the 2 main events but had to settle for 2nd in this one to Paul Maxfield who scooped €83,600 but from the look of the photographs I would hazard a guess that a deal was done.

Jean Yves ChicheporticheThe final event was the €500 No Limit Hold'em which was left to the French again as Jean Yves Chicheportiche took €7,820 for first place.

Harald CasagrandeOver in Seefeld Austria the 7-Card Stud Winter Challenge took place late in January. There were a number of qualifying events and we ended up with 112 players contesting the final and a prizepool of €53,675. Harald Casagrande saw the rest of the field off winning a first prize of €11,075.

The next big event in Europe is the Vienna Spring Poker Festival from the 3rd to the 14th March.

Poker in the U.K.
Andrew Lacey of the PokerPages Team writes about poker in the UK.

Hello again and welcome to our February newsletter. In this issue I'll take a look at how things panned out at the only major UK & Ireland tournament since the last newsletter and also report on how our more travelled players have been doing overseas.

Results from Luton

The ever-popular Grosvenor in Luton was the spacious venue for Grand Challenge, which ran over seven nights from the 19th to the 25th of January. You can read the full results here:

The first event was the £100+10 buy-in Pot Limit Hold'em tournament. 104 players signed up and made 172 re-buys. That pumped the prize pool up to £27,600. A deal was struck at the final table, with Graham Hiew picking up the title and £8,000. Second and third place finishers P Wade and Roy "The Boy" Brindley won £6,025 respectively.

Next up the Grosvenor Luton held a £100+£10 Pot Limit 7-Card Stud game. 75 runners and 116 re-buys put £19,100 in the prize pool. First place went to L Flaum, who picked up £6,710. S Pearce was runner up with £5,000 and £2,600 went to M Milan in third place.

Time for some No Limit Hold'em and 122 players registered for the £100+£10 event. After 213 re-buys the prize pool stood at £33,500. Once again Graham Hiew proved his class at the green felt by winning this event, to add to his Pot Limit Hold'em tournament victory. A deal was once again struck at this final table. Graham pocketed £7,000 as did second place finisher I Oldershaw. D Makawana won £4,900 for his third place finish.

Carlo CitroneNext was an opportunity for the Omaha fans to splash some chips around. 67 of them in total did battle and, after 114 re-buys, there was £18,100 to play for. D Snape claimed top spot in this event winning £5,150. Yet another deal saw Carlo Citrone win £4,000 as runner-up, as did J Ruehle in third place.

The buy-in increased a little on January 23rd for the £150+£15 Pot Limit Hold'em tournament. This attracted 129 hopefuls, creating a prize pool of £44,400. Deals seemed to have been the order of the week at Luton as yet again this prize pool was carved up. First place and £8,670 went to the outright winner, R Debeaulox. £8,000 went to T Kendall in second place, and £6,750 went to third and fourth place finishers I Oldershaw (back in the money again) and H Mohammed respectively.

At last it was time for the Main Event - the 2 day £750+£25 buy-in No Limit Hold'em tournament. 91 players entered, creating a prize pool of £71,250. This tournament was no different in terms of deal making, with the players deciding to award £15,500 for first place and £15,000 for the second and third place finishers. The title went to Roy "The Boy" Brindley, capping a successful week for him in Luton. Well done Roy. Pat McClusky was runner-up and Kyriacos Saranta took third place.

Our congratulations go to all the winners in Luton and we thank the Grosvenor Group for getting us all the results.

Report on our players abroad

Many British players made the long-distance pilgrimage to Tunica for the two major tournaments running side-by-side, and I'm pleased to say a respectable number of them made healthy top ten finishes.

Dave UlliottThe focus in Tunica was at the bigger buy-in events forming the World Poker Open in Binions Horsehoe. Englishman Robin Keston took $3,247 for 10th place in Event 1, the $500 Pot Limit Omaha. In Event 6, the $500 Pot Limit Hold'em, Dave "Devilfish" Ulliott of Hull, England pocketed $9,030 for his fine 5th spot finish there.

Ben RobertsDuring week two, event 10 saw Rick Glading making his mark with a 7th place finish in the $1,000 Omaha Hi-Lo, walking away with $3,046 for his efforts. Next, in the 2-day $1,000 Pot Limit Omaha event, we saw another 3rd place finisher with Ben Roberts of London earning a hefty $22,609. Also celebrating afterwards was a smiling 7th-placed Kevin Zarandi from Birmingham who had won $9,421.

Surindar SunarIn Event 15, the $1,000 Pot Limit Hold'em Londoner Ali Sarkeshik took home $12,335 for his well-deserved 4th place. Paul Maxfield from Stoke-on-Trent was up there with the best of them in the $2,000 No Limit Hold'em competition, winning a tidy $14,290 for his 7th place finish. The list of successes from Londoners continued with Richard Brown scoring $2,305 in the $300 No Limit Hold'em tournament. The main event, the marathon 4-day $10,000 No Limit Hold'em Event saw Midlander, Surindar Sunar, from Wolverhampton finish a very respectable 27th from a field of 367 for a $20,730 Tunica World Poker Open pay day.

Dave ColcloughOver in mainland Europe the big news was the irrepressible Dave "le Cerveau" Colclough, taking the European Omaha Championship title and a mouth-watering €71,000 to go with it, earlier this month at the Aviation Club in Paris. Full results can be found here:

In the €1,000 buy-in No Limit Hold'em European Seniors Championship at the same venue, David Barnes came a creditable 2nd, good for €5,850, while Jeff Barron picked up €1,000 for 9th.

The top 2 places went to British players in the €5,000 buy-in No Limit Hold'em tournament in Paris. Paul Maxfield, saw off 44 other contenders to win this one and a cool €83,600. Dave Colclough was back in the money again here, finishing as runner-up to Paul, but still winning a nice €41,800. There were a few British players made the final table and money in this event. Bob Burnside won €19,200 in 4th place. Barny Boatman won €12,800 in 5th place, with fellow Hendon Mob member Ram Vaswani winning €8,550 in 6th place.

Again our congratulations go to the winners in Tunica and Paris.

Looking Ahead

The Midlands Medley at the Grosvenor in Walsall, just off the M6, kicks off on February 23rd.There is a full programme of well-organised tournaments at this popular venue, with buy-ins ranging from £100 to £1,000, with the usual accompaniment of satellites and cash games. This weeklong event runs from Feb 23rd to Feb 29th.

Of interest to poker fans, but unfortunately not available now for entries, is The Poker Million - The Masters II. Sky TV started recording the first of the twelve 6-seater heats earlier this month but results will be unavailable (officially) before the programmes are broadcast. You can check out the dates, the runners and the heat draws here. A smattering of celebrities can be found amongst the invited players and qualifiers for this popular TV tournament. The Final goes out live in July on Sky Sports.

In March the big one is the British Open at the Vic in London, from the 15th to the 20th. Lots of big buy-in action there for those with nerves of steel, and you can be sure the competition for those big payouts will be tough and intense. Don't forget that Mark Napolitano will be at the Vic for the PSO Invitational event on March 15th.and will be looking forward to meeting as many players as possible even if you are not playing in the tournament.

We will of course bring you all the news and results here at PokerPages.

Until next time, take care...
