Carter Phillips was mightily impressive in Barcelona when he had chips and went on to win. He has a huge lead here - 195,000 to the nearest 130,000 (Antony Lellouche) - and he could, just could, become the first player ever to win two EPTs.

Title: Re: EPT Warsaw thread Post by: SuffolkPunch on October 23, 2009, 09:27:34 AM whats the difference between pokerstars quailfer and pokerstars player? A qualifier is an online qualifier A PokerStars player is an identified Stars player who is happy to be associated as such - like Shaun Deeb who is also a PokerStars Passport winner (and who had a cracking day 2 yesterday). http://www.pokerstars.com/poker/promotions/passport/ My thought yesterday about Carter Phillips being a good bet for being the first double EPT winner still looks good, by the way! And I noted the comment earlier about the lack of UK players doing well - 55 left and not one from the UK ;carlocitrone; Get qualifying for Portugal, folks!

You might have thought that this season's EPT was all about poker's kids running the schoolyard. But just as anyone older than about 22 might have considered packing up and going home, the French player Christophe Benzimra won the Main Event of EPT Warsaw, halting a run of three whipper-snapper champions at the beginning of this term. At 47, Benzimra was the oldest player at today's final table, the second oldest player to feature at any final table so far this season, and the oldest since his countryman Jan Boubli won in Barcelona on season two. But having only taken up poker three years ago, Benzimra has learned the trade among the wild youths of the EPT. For five days in Poland, he was at least the equal of all the three-bet, c-bet crowd - and takes the Polish equivalent of €358,644 after dishing out that clip round the ear. |
