European Poker Tour Grand Finals – Day 1A – Archives |
Welcome to Monte Carlo, where the street scene of luxury cars and extravagant women determined. It is where the Geldadel Europe in order to wallow in decadence. The fact that the rich of the rich take notes at the latest one if you get a cheeseburger and wants to buy this very deep into the pockets must – as much as € 20 cost of a Burger Lord in the state. But not only the rich of this world meet in Monaco, Monaco at the moment is the meeting place for the best poker players in the world, which is under the EPT Grand Finale in Monte Carlo Bay Hotel and Resort to take the best of the best value. The buy-in for the biggest tournament outside the U.S. (besides the WSOP) is € 10,000 and the prize pool is certainly a level of 6.5 million euros, rumors say that the winner of the EPT with a prize money of at least 1 , 8 million will receive. The official pay-outs will be sometime on the day will be announced 1B
The participants of the Grand Final Championships was divided into 2 parts. On day 1 A. 329 players. In order for the tournament can proceed as planned, the tournament director Thomas Kremser decided that on the day 1A, and 1B on the day of 7 chip level to be played. The tournament started as planned, then clock at 14.00 (local time) and found his end until about 3:30 clock in the night. At the end of day 1A remained 159 very tired players who now have 1 days time to rest and to prepare for Day 2. The player with the largest chip stack at the end of Day 1A was Chris Ulsrud of Norwegians with 133,875 chips, while Josh Arieh and Greg Raymer among the top ten is not created.
The players started with a chip stack in the amount of 15,000 chips. The opening was "Also sprach Zarathustra" and the title music from Stanley Kubrick's film 2001: A Space Odyssey played. The room was filled with fog and on the TV table was the audience and the first crystal of the EPT Grand Final trophy presentation.
At this event was attended by some of the top European players, such as Katja Thater, Jan von Halle, George Danzer, Dave Colclough, John Shipley, Jani Sointula, Jan Boubli, Max Pescatori, Barny Boatman, Fabrice Soullier, Carlos Mortensen, Rob Hollink, Ben Grundy, Johnny Capelin, Noah Boeken, Markus Golser, Roland de Wolfe, Harry Demetriou and Thomas Wahlroos.
Victor Ramdin, Chris Moneymaker, Greg Raymer, Carl Olson, Humberto Brenes, Barry Greenstein, Josh Arieh, and Pete Giordano also played on Day 1A. Some of the Internet were also well-known player on the day such as 1A Gobboboy, Action Jeff, Annette_15 and AgentVixen, unfortunately, it has none of these players managed to qualify for Day 2.
The second-placed at the Aussie Millions Jimmy "Gobboboy" Fricke retired quite early from the tournament. The 19-year-old Internet wunderkind had to against a Vierling (6666) and beaten in Level 6 was allowed to go home.
In the actual play area was very relaxed. There was no crowd at the barriers, because it is at this EPT championship no barriers existed. The tournament area was not cordoned off, so everyone could be sent directly to the gaming tables and watch the tournament first hand. Some of the players had brought their girlfriends and settled during the game, the neck massage, while other players were friends or family with the game table.
.
As the evening approached, many players were already eliminated, including Max Pescatori, Rob Hollink, Barny Boatman and Ben Grundy.
The breaks are of course great for a bit with the players to chat and learn about interesting hands or chip-counts to maintain. Usually, you can use almost anywhere in Europe rushing, but not in the playing area of the Monte Carlo Bay Casino. If one of the players wanted to smoke, he had to go on the veranda. Thus was the veranda of course the best place if you are one of the players wanted to entertain, I usually secure a good seat and go for me a few minutes before the break begins on the veranda. Chris Moneymaker came up to me and just shook his head when he was a Marlboro Light lights. He said not a word, his body language said more than any word.
During a break, the casino halls filled with the chatter of players who can compete with other players or friends and family members entertained. Some report on your successes, others talk about Bad Beats, which during the last few laps had to plug it. When one hears EPT conversations in various languages. There you can hear bad beat stories in Swedish, Danish, Spanish, French, German, English, Japanese and Italian. But no matter what languages are spoken, a Bad Beat is always painful, whether you are from Copenhagen, Tokyo, Las Vegas, Paris or Milan come.
At the end of day 1A were 159 players left, to "Survive" included: Greg Raymer, Barry Greenstein, Josh Arieh, Victor Ramdin, Johnny Capelin, Jani Sointula, Harry Demetriou, Carlos Mortensen, Mark Vos Theo Jorgensen, Pete Giordano , Noah Boeken, Mark Gregorich, Jan Boubli, Terry Cook, Carl Olson, Chris Moneymaker, Katja Thater, Fabrice Soulier, Dave Colclough, John Shipley.

Greg "Fosilman" Raymer's account with PokerStars chopped; deposits saved! |
An enterprising, but not too clever hacker Poker on Sunday had to learn his lesson: The account of a world famous poker player certainly has the money come from a lot to offer, but if you playing around with the account, will very quickly be discovered.
The 2004 WSOP Main Event champion Greg Raymer was the victim of a hacker, what Raymer Poker Stars account using a brute force attack and was attacked on Sunday was successful and gained access to the account. Then he opened some tables Sit'n'go with high buy-in and thus began to realize the stakes to a player with the screen name "Ikeyrson 'to lose, but he certainly was not aware that the game usually always Raymer by dozens of players observed.
Of course some of the observers noticed the bizarre chip dumping, wondered about this very strange behavior and notify the security department of Poker Stars. The security department immediately contacted to Raymer and informed him about the operations. Raymer, who to this day some actually promotional tournaments at Poker Stars played was just a few golf exercises employed, as he posts on the various incidents had been informed. Among others, he received calls from his wife and his father, which is already covered by PokerStars the incidents have been informed.
Due to the very effective public appearance of the hackers, it was possible to the PokerStars account of the player "Ikeyrson" frozen and the money to the account by transferring back Raymer (but only after his account of these re-secured and a new, not so easy "hack" was equivalent password). The hackers had not been able to transfer the amount to the account of a third player to transfer if he would have succeeded, this circumstance would have caused significant problems in returning the money to the account of Raymer may lead .
On demand in a popular poker forum, Raymer has admitted that he had no great difficulty in the selection of the password would have done well and he had chosen a password, which is relatively easy to crack was. He also said that because of the PokerStars European laws regarding privacy on the Internet was not able to submit the name of the person notified, but that does not mean that PokerStars is not the hacker through other channels will be accountable for. One of the forum members asked why the hacker because the money directly to another account would be transferred, although in this case is a direct theft would have been had this procedure in any case prevents the chip-dumping by curious spectators were observed and thus caused the entire action ultimately fails.
It may be that this incident leads to PokerStars to think about advanced security measures in relation to the application and will make will ensure that a brute-force attacks on spying the login passwords will no longer be possible. If these changes in the security arrangements in the coming period should be implemented, you can be sure that this attack was the catalyst for this. Thus the hacker attack would at least ensure that the safety precautions PokerStars were improved, which is considered positive for all players at this online Pokerroom can be.

Switzerland: control is better than prohibition |
A ban can not protect against its abuse – this is one of the findings of the President of the Swiss Federal Gaming Board (ESBK) in Switzerland and finds that the repeal of the online gambling ban should be examined.
Benno Schneider, president of the ESBK, wants the Federal Council by the end of 2008 a report on the online gambling ban present. This is the current situation together and reflect. Because the quality of foreign sites, illegal gambling and its consequences can only think sufficiently examined and followed, if the ban is lifted.
Compared with the "Tages-Anzeiger" says Schneider, that a lifting of the ban was worth examination. And that could be whether Swiss licenses for Internet casinos should be granted. Foreign suppliers will continue in his view should be prohibited. Through licensing, the company tested and monitored – as Schneider continues. Only then can quality be assured and would be a meaningful player protection. The requirements would have on the online vendor as much as for the real casinos in Switzerland.
In addition to the administrative control would be through online gambling as a lucrative tax revenue for Switzerland offer.
Technically, would be the blocking of foreign internet gambling sites no problem. But the effort that would be relatively high. Whether expenses are proportionate and meaningful, it must also be examined.
Another possibility would be a process such as the UIGEA in the U.S. – ie Payments to casinos abroad and credits would be prohibited. But here, too, must be checked whether the end justifies the means.
In any case, the casinos of Switzerland also good opportunities on the Internet to find its clientele, the question is only the opinion of the Bundesrat represents and whether it is lifting a ban.
