blonde poker forum

The European Poker Tour will visit Campione for the first time ever in Season 8, where the Casino di Campione will host the event. Campione, or Campione d'Italia as it is more widely known, is a small Italian municipality located within Switzerland, 1km from the Italian border. It sits on the edge of Lake Lugano, and has spectacular scenery as well as modern amenities.

It’s also a poker hotspot. Campione has hosted many big tournaments previously, including the stops on the hugely successful Italian Poker Tour, which is now in its third season. The first visit of European Poker Tour takes place March 26-31, 2012

The €5,000 + €300 main event begins on Monday

Good luck to the 3 boys left but it ain't the same without Alex being involved. :(

In Alex's absence, I transfer my run-good vibes to young David Vamplew, who I think is potentially an immense talent, & a very likeable & personable lad, too. Hugely intelligent & sharp, as well. 

Errr yeah coz Rupert is the totally opposite of that :)

Ahh, I missed Rupert's name.

He is officially added to my Good-Vibe Group, for much the same reasons as Mr Vamplew, but more so. Both on the same road, Rupert is further along it.

Either way hopefully one of us will finally get that big break through we have both been looking so hard for :D

I really wanted you to win till you said that :D

Jason has landed me right in it here!

Get it won, Rupert. Or David.

Go Rupert and David. Met them both yesterday, seemed like top lads. Get it won for England boys!

Pretty sure this will be Vampy's main concern tbh

Gl Rupert

Well yes, he may have a bit of Scottish in him.....

Oh sigh, didn't know that.

GO RUPERT! :P

And me!!!!! Don't u like me ?

If you were in the EPT Campione, you'd get my Good Vibes, too, Frankie.

I weren't there but just wanted to know if u still
like me. C ya soon

FYP

all from www.pokerstarsblog.com

Unlucky Rupert, but the very best of British to David.

Vamplew 10th.

Out in 10th or currently 10th

Currently 10th = British
Out in 10th = Scottish

Lol yes

Scottish  :D

Have to admit a fine effort tho

Yes, an 'Andy Murray' as it's called.  Although Vamplew has actually won a grand slam event.

What are the poker grand slam events?

EPT, WPT, WSOP, Super 50 at DTD?

What are the poker grand slam events?
Wankers Wednesday Luton
 10 rebuy student night gala
20 freeze anti only aspers

Didn't you win a Dtd deepstack aswell Boshi..  ::)

Never won a Super 50 :D (never played one)

FACT: Andy Murray British tonight, got Nadal running scared

I expect the British/Scottish thing on the news* is an urban myth.  He is an adopted son of England anyway, he has lived down South for some time.

* The news from London that is.

Scotland still belongs to us as far as I know. We should have kept some of the little African countries and given independence to Scotland instead IMO.

Final table

Seat 1. Olivier Busquet, USA, 3,011,000
Seat 2. Koen De Visscher, Belgium, 1,856,000
Seat 3. Mario Nagel, Germany, 1,210,000
Seat 4. Stefano Puccilli, Italy, 1,450,000
Seat 5. Jannick Wrang, Denmark, 2,882,000
Seat 6. Fabrice Soulier, France, 3,480,000
Seat 7. Balazs Botond, Hungary, 2,080,000
Seat 8. Robin Ylitalo, Sweden, 1,153,000

Is seat 6 the bloke with the rat? What a douche bag

Not it's not.

Just gone 6-handed, excellent line-up, no weak links. Would recommend the live stream on Pokerstars.tv

Hey nofloPs, read on fb that this was one of the strongest final. I have only heard of Olivier and Fabrice, cliffs on the others please

Busquet is sick, him ftw!

There's player profiles on the pokernews update page.

Wow. Great reporting too

Heads up, Busquet vs Wrang ($25/$50 PLO player)

Jannick Wrang has become the third consecutive Danish European Poker Tour champion after besting a star-studded final table at the EPT Campione Main Event. Wrang, who spent just $309 to win his seat to this main event, takes home a massive first place prize of €640,000.

His victory was made all the more sweeter by the fact he defeated one of the best, if not the best, heads-up tournament poker player in the world in the shape of Olivier "livb12" Busquet after a 75-minute heads-up battle at the end of a 13 hour final table.

The EPT next stops at Berlin on April 16

Position   Name   Prize
1   Jannick Wrang   €640,000
2   Olivier Busquet   €430,000
3   Fabrice Soulier   €240,000
4   Balazs Botond   €157,000
