EPT heist news. Eight-year-olds winning poker touranments news? And WPT final table news. There’s a lot of news in today’s PTP Hit and Run.
A little bit of news out of last week’s EPT Berlin heist. A suspect was arrested, then released. Read more here.
Eight-year-olds are winning poker tournaments online? Yikes, if this story is true. A kid from India is allegedly a poker whiz, and may have won $500,000 in a poker tournament. But whatever poker site he won it at is not paying. If the story is true, that is. We’ll have more, obviously, if more details and facts come out.
A winner was crowned in the World Poker Tour’s Bay 101 Shooting Star main event. And it wasn’t Phil Hellmuth, who was at his fourth WPT final table, but is still in search of his first win. The Poker Brat went out in sixth, and apparently crawled into the fetal position after losing, instead of throwing a tantrum. We guess that’s better? Tony G blogged about it here. Mclean Karr won the event and the first prize of nearly $900K.
A cool little story from the PokerStars blog here. It tells the story of a player who got into the Sunday Million with 25 frequent player points, then went on to win $2,000 by finishing in the top 100. He had only $50 in his account beforehand.
Joe Cada is still riding the wave of his World Series of Poker main event win. The latest? He signed on with apparel company Showdown Couture.
We can probably stick a fork in the durrrr Challenge, even though there are 17,000 hands still to be played. Tom Dwan leads Patrik Antonius by almost $2 million dollars now.
