Dmitry, known as “Sonnerz1”<\/strong> at the tables, checked his partypoker account from his St. Petersburg home and discovered he had received an $11 and $22 ticket as a gift. Even though tournament poker is not Dmitry\u2019s core game, he put his $11 ticket to good use, and turned it into $180, before using that score to propel himself to the top of the Legend of the Week<\/strong><\/a> leaderboard.<\/p>\n

Dmitry has played poker since 2006 when he jumped into a cash game online at partypoker. He has taken the game more seriously over the past couple of years, and is usually found grinding the NL25 ($0.10\/$0.25) no-limit hold\u2019em cash games<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Surprisingly, the Russian grinder was not aware of the Legend of the Week promotion until he saw his prizes land in his account!<\/p>\n

Mistake Leads To Outright Victory<\/h2>\n

“I did not know about the Legends of the Week promotion, but received an $11 and $22 ticket for free. I usually play cash games but used the tickets because they were free. I won a small amount, around $180, and decided that I would combine tournaments with my cash games. In the first PKO tournament (The Terminator<\/strong><\/a>), I finished seventh, but was very upset because I was the chip leader at one stage and committed ICM suicide against a week player.”<\/p>\n

“That hand bothered me all day, and I decided I needed to pay more attention in the latter stages of MTTs. The next day, I won the same tournament! Two days later, I opened the lobby and saw that I had won the leaderboard. I received a $320 and $530 ticket, which I was very happy with.”<\/p>\n

Dmitry is full of confidence after his impressive results and is looking forward to playing poker<\/a> for much higher stakes than he usually plays.<\/p>\n

“My mood, of course, is good. I will be happy to play against strong opponents and will try to learn something from them. I\u2019m really looking forward to it.”<\/p>\n

Leaderboards Are a Great Motivator<\/h2>\n

Just as “Rezista”<\/strong> eluded to in her interview last week<\/a>, Dmitry says the Legend of the Week leaderboards provide motivation to play more and play better.<\/p>\n

“I think the action with the leaderboards is a good motivator not to make mistakes, and to play more tournaments. For me, the tournaments included in the leaderboards would be part of my daily schedule.”<\/p>\n

Dmitry is still finding his groove in our Daily Legends<\/a> tournament but already has his favourite. Can you guess what it is?<\/p>\n

“I\u2019ve still not familiarised myself with all the tournaments, so I have to say my favourite is the one that I won, the $11 Terminator PKO.”<\/p>\n
