]]> 0 Sam Holden Joins the Poker Millionaire Club
352a10c276da0307d3c00eaba6036496.jpg?v=134700

Sam's total live tournament winnings now add up to  $1,098,326 - making him a Poker Millionaire and a part of an elite group of players that made consecutive deep runs in the World Series of Poker Main Event. Sam Holden outlasted at total of 13,398 players in back-to-back years 2011/2012- an amazing demonstration of skill and mental stamina.

Sam's final hand of the tournament was a brutal bad beat, as he was all-in holding pair of eights versus a pair of fives, with the pair of fives hitting a set on the flop. That's poker, and variance place a huge part in the game, making Sam's achievements even more impressive.


We congratulate Sam on his amazing performance - GG and WP M888!

]]> 0 Meet Jesse Sylvia - Live Cash Grinder Who Saved his RunGood

da48e19a30cf0f9e8524b2aecec9e206.jpg?v=134700
Jesse, 26, originally from Martha's Vineyard island US-MA, has been living in Vegas for two years now and is a fulltime high-stakes player, a regular in the $10-$20 NL games found in various Vegas casinos.

Primarily a cash game player, Jesse's run in this year's WSOP was largely resultless... up until now - but as his friends put it, he has been saving up his RunGood for the Main Event.  The RunGood is strong with Jesse, and he is now sitting with over 4.2 Million in chips in front of him and is one of the remaining 62 players in the world's biggest, most important and prestigious poker tournament.

Good Luck M888!
