Global Poker USPO Update: “FlushMe2Tears” Wins Third Event of Series

Global Poker USPO Update: "FlushMe2Tears" Wins Third Event of Series



With three titles already racked up, one player — “FlushMe2Tears” — has stood out ahead of the rest in the PokerGO Global Poker U.S. Poker Open series.

The series began Aug. 21 on the US-facing social poker site with the first two of 32 total Gold Coins (GC) and 32 Sweeps Coins (SC) events through Sept. 3. Each day during the series, Global Poker is hosting a Low and High tournament both for GC and SC players.

In our last update, we told you about “FlushMe2Tears’s” two wins on the GC side for a combined GC 8,100,000. This player did it again on Aug. 29 by taking down Event #10-H: GC 99,000 Super Bounty, a GC 25,000,000 guaranteed no-limit hold’em tournament, for GC 3,221,280.

Over on the Sweeps Coins side, “PattyC” remains the only two-time winner during the current USPO series. There were two big winners since our last update. “Poker God 107” won SC 10,046 for beating out 301 entrants in Event #9-H: SC 99 No-Limit Hold’em. “Dtfbobsaget,” who is clearly a fan of the late great comedian Bob Saget, claimed SC 12,270 for winning Event #11-H SC 99 No-Limit Hold’em, which also had 301 entrants.

Turnout during the Global Poker U.S. Poker Open series has been high. No tournament — GC or SC — has had less than 232 entrants, and most have been well above 400 players.

Ricardo De Andrade Wins €3,000 Mystery Bounty at his First-Ever EPT



The PokerStars European Poker Tour €3,000 Mystery Bounty event, running at Casino Barcelona, has now wrapped up. There were a total of 1,339 entries to the event, which created a prize pool of €2,297,724. After three days of action, a champion has been crowned.

Ricardo De Andrade of Portugal emerged as the outright winner, locking up a top prize of €374,064, which along with €21,000 in bounties, made for a total of €395,064. He beat Armin Rezaei heads-up to win the tournament. Rezaei, who had been the big stack for much of the final table, had to settle for second place and €233,890.

Jan Bronkhorst made the final table and finished in seventh place for €58,480. He also pulled one of the €200,000 bounties, so came out as one of the top winners in terms of overall prize money.

Bounties came into play at the start of Day 2, with €1,000 of the entry fee going into the bounty pool. Incredible mystery prizes were up for grabs, including one €100,000 prize and two top prizes of €200,000.

Along with Bronkhorst, Samy Boujmala was the other player to draw a €200,000 prize.

Klas Lofberg won the €100,000 prize early in Day 2. Ahmed Ibrahimi, Anthony Michel Cruz, Zlatin Penev and Michel Dattani each claimed €50,000 bounty prizes.

By the time action reached the final table, only one €5,000 ticket remained in the box, along with the €1,000 tickets. This meant the tournament reverted to more of a regular format, with players aiming to increase their position for the maximum prize money rather than bust opponents.

Day 3 and Final Table

There were 22 players who returned for the final day, with Ismet Oral the chip leader and Razvan Belea second in chips. Stacks were fairly even between second and fifth place, so it was still anyone’s game.

Dan Heimiller was the first to bust on Day 3, but he was seen pulling seven bounty tickets out of the box, including one of the remaining €5,000 prizes.

A double bust soon followed, with De Andrade knocking out both Peter Tordai and Belea in one hand, the start of a run that would see him go all the way. The bustouts came thick and fast until the final table was reached around three-and-a-half hours into the day’s play.

By the time action went four handed, Rezaei had gained a massive chip lead. He then knocked out Kenne in fourth and accumulated 26,500,000 chips as the game went three-handed. He then eliminated Nakdali in third and went into heads-up with a near 8:1 chip advantage over his opponent.

That all changed when play resumed. De Andrade doubled up, won a few pots, and then doubled up again to take the chip lead. After less than one hour of heads-up action, De Andrade called Rezaei’s river bluff in the final pot of the night, winning the tournament and earning himself an EPT trophy.

Winner’s Reaction

“Yesterday, around the bubble, I was running really, really good. I was chip leading on the bubble. I couldn’t lose a pot, it was insane. Today things started quiet, nothing too important. I lost a huge pot at the final table against the guy who went heads-up with me.”

“Heads-up started with an almost ten-to-one disadvantage, but I regained my focus. I got lucky also, but first I doubled up and next I won two pots, three pots. When that happened, I felt like I’m going to take this down. The momentum was there and I was confident.”

“I mostly play online. Live, this is my second event. My first one was in March at Estrellas Madrid. This is my first time coming to an EPT and yeah, huge score.”

“My hands are shaking man, I don’t even know how to express it. Just to play an EPT is a dream come true, but to win an event is crazy. It’s crazy.”

“The money is important obviously, but I think the most important thing is the trophy and winning an EPT event.”

NASCAR Driver Taunts Phil Hellmuth: “I Thought You Were the Best in the World?”

NASCAR Driver Taunts Phil Hellmuth: "I Thought You Were the Best in the World?"



Phil Hellmuth can’t even avoid trash-talkers in a poker room he co-owns. The “Poker Brat” lost a big pot to NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series driver Jason White (aka “J-White”) who then playfully taunted the Poker Hall of Famer during a live-stream at Champions Club in Houston, Texas.

PokerGO handled the live-streaming duties on YouTube for the relatively low-stakes cash games Wednesday and Thursday evenings — low-stakes by Hellmuth’s standards, at least.

Recreational Poker Player Does Poker Icon Dirty

White, a Canadian recreational poker player who is currently under a NASCAR suspension over a DUI arrest last month, bought in for $5,000 on Thursday. He’d go on to lose nearly $2,900, bringing his two-day cumulative losses to $7,800. But it could have been much worse for him if not for one huge pot he played against a poker legend.

Victoria Livschitz raised to $75 with A♠7♠ before J-White moved all in for $4,650 with Q♠Q♥. Hellmuth, in the small blind, then made it $10,000 with A♣K♣ and Livschitz folded.

White and the 17-time World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet winner would go heads up in a race for a $9,410 pot. They agreed to run the board just one time, and it came out 2♣2♠9♥3♥3♠, giving the NASCAR truck driver all the chips.

“Nice hand, J-White, nice hand,” Hellmuth said after losing the pot.

“Why would you go all in?” White asked. “You didn’t even have a pair. I thought you were the best in the world?”

Of course, J-White was just playfully taunting Hellmuth and meant no harm by it. The ribbing of the Poker Brat was all in good fun. There’s a slim chance they’ll switch roles one day and compete against each other in a NASCAR race, especially given Hellmuth’s “track” record in that arena.

Hellmuth, along with fellow poker legend Dewey Tomko, is a part owner of Champions Club in Houston, which opened a brand-new location in April. He’s done his part to promote the room, and showing up for the second time to play on the live-stream, given his stature within the poker community, sure doesn’t hurt.

In May, he competed in some much bigger games on the stream against some high-profile players such as Shaun Deeb and Dan “Jungleman” Cates.

Hellmuth ended up winning a whole $10 on the Thursday stream. That won’t even buy him dinner. But the $9,240 he won at Champions the night before certainly will.
