Player presentation English:

My poker career began in 2007. For a long time I have been playing mostly cash games, was going up by limits starting with NL50. Now I play NL600-1000 on a regular basis. Some time ago I got interested in a tournament game. During the last few months I am constantly playing online Sunday tournaments with buy-ins $100+. I haven’t had a great success so far, but the distance is still very small to make any conclusions. Regarding my live poker experience, the only time I tried myself in a live tournament was 2 years ago.

Player Presentation Russian:

Моя покерная карьера началась в 2007 году. Долгое время играл практически только кэш-игры. Поднимался по лимитам, начиная с микролимитов. Сейчас играю на регулярной основе НЛ600-1000. Некоторое время назад появилось желание попробовать себя в турнирной игре. Последние несколько месяцев регулярно играю в онлайне воскресные турниры с бай-инами 100+ USD на RedKings и в некоторых других покер-румах. Похвастаться большими успехами пока не могу, впрочем и дистанция пока очень мала, чтобы делать какие-то выводы. Единственный небольшой опыт оффлайн был 2 года назад - принял участие в турнире, проходившем в нашем городе.

Player Presentation English:

I learned about poker about 1.5 years ago. I started with SNG micro limits but at that time I couldn’t play a lot because of my work. Step by step I went to higher limits playing low limit cash games as well. RedKings became my poker-room some 6 months ago where I went up from $11 up to $54-$108 tournaments. Two times I played side events at RPT Odessa but in both of them I was knocked out on the bubble, so, hopefully, GSOP Live Malta event will be more lucky for me and I’ll get into money this time.

Player Presentation Russian:

О покере я узнал около 1.5 лет назад от моего друга, который так же в это время стал увлекаться игрой в покер. Я начал играть микро-лимиты снг, но уделять покеру много времени не удавалось из-за загруженности на работе. Неспешно поднимался по лимитам. Некоторое время играл низкие лимиты в кэш. Около полугода назад начал играть на RedKings и за 3 месяца поднялся с снг за 11$ до турниров за 54-108$, которые и играю до настоящего времени. В оффлайне играл только два “сайд ивента” на РПТ в Одессе и в обоих вылетел на бабле. Надеюсь, что на GSOP Malta удастся открыть счет попаданиям в ИТМ в оффлайне.

We are slowly recovering from celebrating Toni´s and Janne´s success, and can announce the final results:

1. Martin Emanuelsson 63000€

2. Morten Mortenssen 42000€

3. Tomi-Ville Hytti 29000€

We will post more pictures from the week and some player comments later.

See you in Malta!

Technical problems, here´s the latest chipcounts:

Tomi-Ville Hytti – 3,000,000
Morten Mortensen – 1,350,000
Martin Emanuelsson – 1,350,000

Tomi-Ville Hytti opened 100k, Janne went all in for ~600k and Tomi-Ville quickly made the call. Janne was in bad shape with Ah7h against Hytti´s pair of sevens and got no help from the deck.

Congratulations to Janne for his great performance in his second big Live tournament! Janne earned approximately 20000€!

Augskalns opened, Toni thought for a while and went all in 750ish. Tomi-Ville moved instantly all in behind Toni and the Latvian folded.

Congratulations for Toni on his great performance in the first ever GSOP Live Event! He earned 9418 lats (approximately 13185€)

Edgars Augstkalnst was also just eliminated AJ<AK, so we are down to 4 players.

VAMOOOS JANNE!

Martin doubled up thru Hytti Tomi-Ville so the stacks are getting shallower, so we are expecting to see some heavy action soon.

Edgars Augstkalns – 1,000,000
Toni Ojala – 950,000
Tomi-Ville Hytti – 1,485,000
Janne Salonen – 900,000
Morten Mortensen – 500,0000
Martin Emanuelsson – 705,000
