Peter Shaw<\/strong> loves the Legend of the Week<\/strong><\/a> promotion because it gives him added incentives to stay focus during the daily grind. That focus recently paid off because Peter won Leaderboard 4 and won $1,510 worth of Daily Legends<\/strong><\/a> tickets despite grinding $22 buy-in tournaments.<\/p>\n

Peter is a 34-year-old from Manchester, United Kingdom, who now lives in Macclesfield. He is one of many partypoker players who juggles the hustle-bustle of a day job with grinding online poker tournaments<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI used to live in Pau in Southern France and played poker to pay the bills there. At the moment, I work part-time in events in addition to studying and playing poker full time. I\u2019m trying to become a professional poker player with the aim of travelling the world playing the biggest events.\u201d<\/p>\n

Starting Life as a SNG Grinder<\/h2>\n

Sit & Go tournaments<\/strong> is where Peter cut his teeth in the poker world. It is extremely common for multi-table tournament stars to start their careers playing SNG. They are, after all, essentially final tables on demand. Sit & Go tournaments are quite methodical, with similar situations cropping up continually. It is for that reason Peter switched to MTTs.<\/p>\n

\u201cI used to play micro sit & go tournaments but changed to micro-to-low MTTs because there are so many more interesting spots.\u201d<\/p>\n

Peter won Leaderboard 4 of the Legend of the Week promotion, which meant he needed to shine in the $22 buy-in Predator<\/strong><\/a> and\/or The Clasico<\/strong><\/a>. It was the latter where Peter excelled.<\/p>\n

\u201cI chopped The Clasico when heads-up as the chip leader to help win Leaderboard 4. It is the second time I\u2019ve won the leaderboard this year, and The Clasico was my favourite tournament the first time too. I really like the structure.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Clasico Is Peter\u2019s Favourite Daily Legends Tournament<\/h2>\n

The Clasico shuffles up and deals every day at 18:05 BST and costs $22 to enter. Your $22 buys you 100,000 chips, and you play to a 10-minute clock where blinds start at 500\/1,000\/130a. Late registration is only open for 12-levels, and only one re-entry is permitted, which massively levels the playing field.<\/p>\n

Peter\u2019s performances in The Predator and The Clasico saw him come away with $1,510 worth of Daily Legends tickets and gave him a shot at a massive payday.<\/p>\n
