Team RedKings Pro Ramzi Jelassi made great run in WSOPE Cannes €5300 PLO this week, finishing third for a whopping €105,937 - Congratulations Ramzi!
In the final hand Ramzi´s wrap picked up a flushdraw on the flop and all the chips went in against his Steve Billirakis´s flopped top-set.
There´s still 5 left in WSOPE Cannes, Ramzi being third in chips. It´s worth noting that the top-3 in chips are very close.
Team RedKings Qualifier Zsolt Vizsnyiczai has (most likely) done here today, and Team RedKings Pro James Keys did here yesterday, fellow Team RedKings Pro Ramzi Jelassi has took the chipead over!
There´s now 5 players left in WSOPE €5300 PLO.
Team RedKings pro Ramzi Jelassi is currently 3rd in chips in €5300 PLO when there is 7 players left. One time!
We haven´t witnessed any big swings in the stacks yet, but it may be worht noting that Team RedKings Pro James Keys has lost a bit, where as fellow Team Pro Ramzi Jelassi has picked up some chips and is over 25k.
James is sitting in the same table with Team RedKings´GSOP Live Malta winner Janos Katzenberger. As usual we have a lot of Hungarian players in the Team, Janos´s brother Viktor is here (seated in the same table with RedKings Finnish Championship online qualifier and GSOP Seville bubble boy Daniel Boije), and we have two new Hungarian qualifiers, Gabor Oliver Petz and Zsolt Vizsnyiczai. After a quite small turn-out in the Season 1 first Event in Riga, the Hungarians have made a huge impact on GSOP Live tour and hopefully our guys will make some final table appearances to add in the impressive record.
This will be a busy week here at the RedKings Blogs, Ramzi Jelassi begins his quest for EPT title in Barcelona tomorrow and on wednesday GSOP Live Malta kicks off. We made our previous record of precense in October in Riga - and now we easily broke the record! We will have 37 players from 11 countries proudly wearing the RedKings colors!
In February we will be even bigger in Bucharest, and remember that YOU can join the Team too! So follow the tweets, follow the updates, stay tuned for surprise blogs promotions and remember that GSOP Live Bucharest satellites are running all the time!
Ramzi started the day very well and chipped up quite a bit, but the he ended up playing a big hand against a young aggressive finnish players. Ramzi wasn´t 100% if he liked the hand, but he couldnt let go of his AQ against and ended up busting.
Ramzi´s next stops will be EPT Barcelona and GSOP Live Malta, but before seeing him in action again you can enjoy his interview from yesterday:
…of ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND CHIPS in EPT London. But still in the tournament, in the money and only 127 playerst left to beat. Ramzi is marching on!
He´s not among the chipleaders right now, but we´ve heard that this is just a strategic move and eventually Ramzi plans to have ALL the chips and ALL THE MONEYZ!
