The PartyPoker Million VI final begins 1pm local time on Thursday By Simon Young People who know far more about statistics than I do assure me that 20% of starters for the PartyPoker Million VI were from Germany. It’s no huge surprise, therefore, to find two of them almost neck-and-neck for the chip lead – and a third, day two chip leader Johannes Strassmann, joining them on the...PPM VI Day 3: Bubble bursts and we’...
By Simon Young When the tournament bubble approaches, it normally takes time to burst as many players try and steer themselves to a money-paying position. We started with 33 players this afternoon, all hoping at least to make it to the prized 24th spot. There was no pussy-footing around, however, as again everyone went at each others’ throats, and within two one-hour levels the...PPM VI Day 3: Chips ahoy!...
By Simon Young Welcome to day three of the PartyPoker Million VI on board MSC Poesia, currently docked in Izmir in Turkey. Play resumes at 4pm local time today, with just 33 of our 171 starters remaining. All hope to get their hands on the $358,280 first prize when the final table plays out on Thursday. Germany’s Johaness Strassmann is currently well ahead of the chasing pack. Here...PPM VI Day 2: Strassmann takes command o...
By Simon Young I don’t know what the players had for dinner, but when the 60 of them returned there was a burst of bloodthirsty aggression that scared the hell out of me. So bad was it, that by the time play ended for the night, just three hours later, the PartyPoker Million VI field had nearly halved to 33. Things can turn in an instant, of course, but for now one man who can...PPM VI Day 2: Jorbeck works up his appet...
By Simon Young Swede Andreas Jorbeck, who won the recent PartyPoker.com Late Night Poker 2008 event for $125,000, raced into the chip lead here on the last hand before the dinner break. He found himself getting the chips in on a flop that had two kings – he had 7-7, his opponent 10-10 and a 7 on the turn filled up his boat on, er, the boat. That monster puts Jorbeck on over...PPM VI Day 2: Lidviksson runs aground...
By Simon Young The crystal-clear seas outside may be calm, but in Le Moulin Rouge room, at the back of the seventh deck of the huge MSC Poesia, there are stormy waters for some as numbers remaining in the PartyPoker Million VI falls to 93 from the 123 day two starters. One of those who is struggling in the swell is the most surprising – overnight chip leader Ludvig Lidviksson is...PPM VI Day 2: Overnight chip leaders...
By Simon Young Welcome to day two of the PartyPoker Million VI tournament on board the MSC Poesia. We’re just pulling out of Katakolon in Greece, where many of our players stepped ashore to do the tourist thing. Next stop is Izmir in Turkey. The tournament, with a prize pool of $1,326,960, kicks off again in an hour or so, and leading the charge of the 123 survivors is Ludvik...PPM VI Day 1: Ludvik takes chip lead on ...
By Simon Young As the PartyPoker Million VI cruise sails overnight towards Greece, a group of players with healthy chip stacks will sleep easily in their beds. Although the official chips counts are not yet in, it looks like Icelandic Ludvik Lidviksson is our Day One chip leader with 45,000, well up from the 10,000 starting point. Big stack: Ludvik Lidviksson We had five one-hour...
