High Stakes Poker Weekly Balance Sheet – Niklas Heinecker marches
The third week of the year have passed and the high stakes, the protagonist played slowly warm. It works really well for the German Niklas Heinecker. He is now the largest winner of this year. Also back at the tables: a few old friends.
In Melbourne, Australia yesterday began the main event at the Aussie Millions. To this tournament and the two super-high rollers (Buy-in $ 100k and buy-in $ 250k), a large part of the poker world’s elite have registered. A couple of hours to the action at the most expensive online tables have some taken anyway.
Patrik Antonius for example. Although not proven that he was under the Nick FakeLove888 plays, but large or otherwise denials theories are also not there. For the Finns speak excellent weeks in each case, the balance sheet. FakeLove888 is the biggest winner of the last seven days. With 280k profit he leads the ranking before Alexandre BiatchPeople Luneau and Eunjong Buyn on.
Also back on the High Stakes has probably Phil Ivey reported. Even before the Black Friday was a hot topic in the forums, whether the Americans with the FullTilt-archenemies PokerStars under the nick RaiseOnce plays. The weekly balance sheet in any case does not confirm the supposition. Phil Ivey has not completed one year at the high stakes at a loss. RaiseOnce however, is the second biggest loser in the past few days. Only the incredibly active Dutchman Sander berndsen12 Berndsen has produced just under 330k more losses.
The third member of the former FullTilt super-high roller is Tom Dwan. He is behind the Nick patpatman suspected. The figures speak for the former child prodigy. Patpatman Although not represented in the weekly rankings, is in the balance this year because the better. With $ 527K Plus he is only surpassed by a German: Niklas ragen70 Heinecker. Marburg was the time in the WSOP main event (80th place, $ 106k) and second in the 2009 SCOOP Main Event ($ 715K). Now he really starts catching on in the high stakes. With $ 216k, he has retracted the fifth-best score of the week. However, it looks really good from the annual balance sheet. Heinecker has within the past three weeks at the nosebleed limits on $ 637k won, making it the largest beneficiary of 2012.
The past week had also recorded the biggest pot of the current year.
In Pot-Limit Omaha $ 200 / $ 400 and joined the Dutchman Sander Berndsen Viktor Isildur1 Blom against each other. For each stack of $ 116,000 were made after the flop of Q♥ 7♣ 4♣ Raise-a-re-raise battle. The last move made the Swede. With A♣ 9♣ 9♥ 6♣ He came to Berndsen J♣ 9♠ 4♦ 4♥ at. But the nut flush draw and second pair ranged for Isildur1 not sufficient, since the turn of the 6♥ and the river the two♦ brought.
Macao and Las Vegas is five times
The Macao gaming industry had a gross income in 2011 of 33.5 billion dollars, as we read in the Las Vegas Review Journal.
To put these figures into perspective, it is normal to find a comparison as meaningful as possible. If we talk about gambleo, we are only true Las Vegas. And like us, the representative of the Union Gaming Group, Grant Govers.
“Total revenue of the game in Macao is equivalent to five and a half times the income of the Strip in Las Vegas, While the growth rate stands at 10 times more than in Las Vegas. ”
A year ago we had that you Macao managed to quadruple in 2010 to Las Vegas in turnover and in the last year progression has continued to rise.
This index referred Govers is an impressive 42% and the gap is opening between Macao and the other competitors so outrageous.
In fact, if we add the twenty major markets of the U.S. gambling industry. UU. -Las Vegas, Atlantic City, Los Angeles ,…- among all barely reach 31 billion dollars, down from the numbers in Macao.
The Most of the revenue casinos in the Portuguese colony that was derived from baccarat tables. In the first three quarters, VIP tables of this type had already collected 18,000 million dollars, as stated CardPlayer.
In regard to pokerIn Macao is just over 100 tables of cash and its impact on the grand total that moves in casinos is only 0.1%Compared to 1% of Las Vegas.
The estimates for 2012 do not include a setback to growth beyond 25% or 30% despite the increasing difficulty of obtaining a credit line caused by the slowdown in China’s economy and corruption problems.
Macao expects industry to overcome these problems by expanding the frontier of physics entry, opening of new resorts and the opening of the light rail line between Macao and Guangzhou, The third largest city in China with nearly 13 million inhabitants.
Andrey Pateychuk: “I wanted to become a journalist.”
He has the most incredible run of 2011. Pateychuk Andrey from Russia won within five months of the EPT San Remo WPT Prague and missed as the 15th the final table of the WSOP Main Event, just barely. We met the 21-year-olds the High Roller event at EPT Prague and learned why he still goes regularly to lecture and how the Russian Backer scene works.
His name was on the side of the HendonMob last month by far Most clicked. Andrey Pateychuk acquired within the past five months, two major championships, and narrowly missed the November Nine cleared over $ 2 million.
Here, says he has the quiet Moscow until this year’s World Series only once outside the Russian Tournament series, Russian Poker Tour (RPT) and Russian Poker Series (RPS) a big tournament (Merit Cyprus Open Poker) played.
In July, the 21-year-old could finally for the first time to the WSOP. “I was baked by one of the three great Russian backing funds.” The of Max Katz, Which obviously was too large share of the buy-in World Championship Pius Heinz, but it was not. Neither of the Stanislav Alekhin (2nd WSOPE Main Event, $ 917,000). Pateychuk got his buy-in by Andrey Savichenko. “However, this fund was made after the WSOP money,” said Pateychuk. Even his 15th Place in the main event would not have the lousy results of the other players can compensate.
For the EPT San Remo Pateychuk shares sold so strongly again. “Just to keep the variance low.” His run with the following two major titles, since none could guess ahead. Also, because the Moscow simply had no one on the bill. Here, for example, says the Philip Gruissem was one Pateychuk really good poker players.
Had started his poker career, like many others his age at the e-gaming and that the Counter Strike. “I played semi-professional level for a long time and eventually had to decide whether I make the next step, or completely stop it.” Pateychuk chose the Journalism. He began to various Russian gaming sites to publish articles and blogs and a friend came over to play poker. “I have half a year only theoretically with the game and then started working with very cheap sit-n-Go’s. “After a year he was ready to Moscow live poker scene enter and where he built up his bankroll first. From then on, everything went quickly.
Has particularly helped him, especially his contact with Russia’s largest poker site “gypsy-team”Sergei Rybachenko. The patch he still wears. Out of loyalty, he says. After all, he had his blogs and articles on the page enough nationwide popularity introduced in order to sell its first shares to the expensive tournaments can.
With his winnings from the last five months, is now himself to Pateychuk Emphasis risen within the Russian poker scene.
A sponsor has not yet approached him. Pateychuk and does not want to see as a true professional. “I’m just even a week every two months on poker tour, the rest of the time I go to lectures, to my Study of Information Security to complete. ”
The trips around the world of self-appointed expert estimates MTT anyway. “There are about 50 Moscow poker playersWho participate regularly in major international tournaments. Between these players, it’s just a very cordial and comradely atmosphere. I would like to enjoy a couple of years. “
