Poker Guide

Next Monday will debut on the Fox network program The Big Game sponsored by PokerStars, one starting with a minimum of $ 100,000 U.S. dollars at the outset that seek to be the jurisdiction of High Stakes Poker and Poker After Dark.

Players who will be present in the early episodes are Daniel Negreanu, Phil Hellmuth, Phil Laak, Tony G. Doyle Brunson and amateur Ernest Wiggins , who is on the bench entirely by PokerStars.

When you were carrying out the recordings of the program, Negreanu and Hellmuth wrote in their Twitter accounts for A striking hand that would delight the spectators . At that time gave no detail of the hands, except involving Hellmuth himself and Ernest Wiggins. Now, thanks to a video on YouTube, we can see exactly how it happened the hand.

We all know that there is nothing to put more in tilt to Hellmuth lose a hand against a amateur , especially if the time to put all the money in the pot is the clear favorite win the hand.

This is exactly what happened on this occasion, with the aggravating circumstance that, after agreeing that the turn and river be distributed four times, Phil has seen his hand was beaten three times in the last letter, despite having 85% chance of getting the boat .

The taunts of the other roundtable participants were swift and, of course, Hellmuth’s face is indescribable. It is very possible that the tilt produced by the hand he has lasted a few weeks .

Undoubtedly, Tom Dwan is still the star of this WSOP, mainly by the large amount of money they could win if he gets a gold brazalate .

A few days ago was second in event # 11 and, as Mike Matusow, winning would have pocketed about twelve million dollars, three of which come directly from the pocket of Ivey , according to the Gary Wise column.

But it seems that Dwan their bets do not seem enough and is taking every event of the WSOP to convince other professionals involved in other bets on a possible bracelet. We read in High Stakes News during the event # 19, the 2-7 Draw Lowball championship , in which Tom managed to accumulate a good amount of chips, made a bet with Phil Ivey that would mean about $ 800,000 U.S. dollars if he could win the tournament .

A few hours later Dwan got another deal, this time with John Juanda and Chris Ferguson . The bet was more complex because, according to the terms, Dwan had to win the event # 19 and Huck Seed event # 21, a Seven Card Stud $ 1,500 dollars.

Of course, the odds were more than juicy: 800-1. Juanda bet Ferguson $ 2000 dollars and $ 1,000, so ‘durrr’ could earn as much as $ 2.4 million if the variance is placed on its side and Seed . “If I win, I’ll buy a helicopter,” he said.

Unfortunately, Tom was eliminated from the tournament in the last levels of the day, so once again, who bet against him can breathe a sigh. At least until the next tournament .

While most of the players, amateurs or professionals, looking forward to the WSOP, Peter Eastgate has not played any events this year .

As we read in the PokerStars Blog, has no intention of appearing in Las Vegas until 5 July, the start date for the main event, the only tournament he plans to play in this WSOP.

The Eastgate reasons decided not to attend the many preliminary events of the WSOP are two: instead of Las Vegas decided to travel to South Africa and enjoy the World Cup to support the selection of Denmark . Of course, Eastgate is aware that it is your choice difficult, but still has no reason to change your time of arrival at Rio

“The World Cup is an event I can not lose, especially to see the best teams playing the best football,” he said. On the other hand, the second reason Eastgate dispensed from participating in any tournament before the main event is because, basically, for him is not important to win a second bracelet .

Indeed, it is certainly not for parallel bets, many professionals do not bother to play the smaller events, since it regards Eastgate, are spending money needlessly. “ No I have enough motivation to participate in events of buy-in low .

For me, win a second bracelet is not as important, “Eastgate said. The truth is that, with more than eleven million dollars in live tournaments won, money is not missing the young Peter Eastgate, as well can afford to ignore the events you want.

It would be interesting to know the opinion of PokerStars, which ultimately is the chamber that pumps money into it and you are looking for player exposure .

Many pages have been written about poker, especially in recent years, from different perspectives and with different objectives. Known players have written excellent books on theory and some journalists have put down on paper some of the most important and compelling stories about poker and gambling world.

But How far back in time we can go to find the first book devoted exclusively to poker? Natalie Galustian is a book jacket, a specialist in foreign books and first editions.

A week ago he opened his bookshop in Cecil Court in London street and to inaugurate submitted the collection ‘All-in’, a compilation of over forty books on poker and gambling including, among other gems, a first edition from 1880 book The Complete Poker Player written by John Blackbridge.

The Poker Player of Education by Herbert Yardley and The Odds Against Me John Scarman and Rules for playing poker Robert Cumming Schenck, also of the nineteenth century, are other books that comprise the collection. Through Bluff Europe can read Galustian statements about this collection, the compilation of which took him just over a year.

The collection marks the game’s development since the nineteenth century until the twentieth century . For me it is important for poker players interested in the history of his own game and know the books that, along the history conspired to make poker what it is today. “

The books will be available to the public until late July in the small library Galustian. Presumably, most of them will be nothing cheap but if someone is near London, is a must to learn about the literary history of the beautiful game .
