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  Get qualifying for Portugal, folks!

so if flushy was to play an ept they would ask him if they could put in pokerstars player next to his name?

Not necessarily. I would hope Flushy would play an EPT sporting his Blonde Poker patch (available at a good price from Kev, I believe)

No they would hopefully put something far more offensive !

Flushy gets them free ... well when I say free what I mean is he paid for the lot in the first place

Yeh don't think he's aggro enough to win

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.
