Unibet Open Glasgow Over, Long Live UO Cannes!

A new hero of #BGPoker has emerged -  @Daniel Chutrov qualified online for €250, finished Day 1a as chip leader and then kept up his good run, leading throughout the tournament and finally besting a field of 211 for the @Unibet Open title and $65,762!

After the legendary Celtic Park, next stop in the Unibet Open is glamorous Cannes and the @Casino Barrière de Cannes Croisette, September 17-20! The latest champion, Daniel Chutrov is sure to be there and hopefully we'll have many RankingHeroes to root for, as well :)

The final hand:

Would YOU have made that call?

 

Our own qualifier @B165L1Ck75 had an unfortunate short run but a long weekend of fun (apparently even meeting up with some of the @Ace-High Poker Group)  in Glasgow and we hope to hear more about it from him! In fact, his KK  running into AQ and a flopped flush in a major tournament certainly qualifies for the ongoing 'spectacular hand mission'.

Meanwhile, you may notice two other members of RankingHero in the Unibet Open Glasgow paid places - @Quentin Lecomte (24th) and our Last Longer winner from Unibet Open London, @Paulo Rodrigues, who finished 22nd :)

True Hero of Amateur Poker: Meet Unibet Open Finalist & RankingHero Last Longer Winner Paulo Rodrigues - Ranking HeroPoker media and fans sometimes get so engrossed in the big winners and stars of the game that we tend to forget the ranks and file of live tournament poker - the amateurs with real day jobs who have to save up vacation days and money to play half a dozen tournaments each year; who are struggling to overcome more or less vocal family disapproval; who have to juggle relationships, work,  and the all-consuming passion for poker...www.rankinghero.com

Quentin and Paulo are Unibet Open regulars and maybe we'll have the chance to see them again in UO Cannes in September? And who knows, there might be another fun competition on RankingHero and a second chance for @B165L1Ck75 :)

Weekly RankingHero Highlights

Please welcome to RankingHero a member of the up-and-rising  #BGPoker community - @Rumen Nanev! The Number 5 on the BG all-time money list came into the spotlight last year in Vienna, when he was one of two Bulgarians to make it to the EPT Main Event final table. This year Vienna again proved lucky for Bulgaria during the 2015 partypoker WPT Main Event - Rumen finished 9th and the winner was his fellow countryman, based in Austria - @Vladimir Krastev!

Welcome, Rumen, and please remember that all of your poker friends are RankingHero's friends, too :) We hope all the other BGpoker heroes will soon join you here! 

Meanwhile, congrats on the latest cash in IPT Malta to Rumen and fellow Bulgarians, the winner of the $330 buy-in IPT Malta Cup@Dimitar Bashov and @Kaloyan Chernikov (12th)! Keep them coming :)

And if you're in Malta for the EPT, you'll appreciate the insider tips and advice from some famous resident pros:

When in Malta, Eat as the Maltese Do: Tips from the Poker Pros - Ranking HeroWith its poker-friendly legal and tax framework, not to mention the great climate and scenery, Malta is a favorite relocation destination for operators and players alike. As the @European Poker Tour takes over St.Julians for ten action-packed days, all live poker roads will be leading to the @Casino at Portomaso and though it is reputed to have an excellent and affordable brasserie, there will be a lot of poker souls to feed. www.rankinghero.com

Best of luck at the tables and looking forward to your updates!

Today @Antoan Katsarov was crowned champion of Pokerlistings Battle of Malta, prevailing over a field of 1,447 entries for $153,185! As runner-up, Malta's @Alan James Brincat starts his live tournament poker resume with a cash of $133,842. French pro and RankingHero member @Hugo Lemaire finished fifth. GG to the finalists and the organizers of the biggest tournament in Maltese history!

Bulgarian @Antoan Katsarov only has two recorded live tournament cashes. BOTH are wins. On June 1, Katsarov took down the inaugural Microgaming Poker Network Poker Tour (MPNPT) at @Aspers Casino - Westfield Stratford City, London.

Last night the remaining 12 players were given the choice of playing down to the final nine and continuing the battle the next day or playing until 5 am and deciding the winner by chip counts. They all opted for the latter and in the early morning hours the battlefield was down to Brincat and Katsarov.

At 5 am this morning the @Casino at Portomaso stopped the clock and the chip leader was awarded the Battle of Malta trophy:

Bulgarians arrived in Barcelona by the dozens and in high spirits. With numerous ITM finishes so far, one victory, one runner-up, and two survivors on Day 4 of the #EPT100 it looks like #BGPoker is thriving and that must be good news for the numerous fans of the game, as well as for the recently launched first legal poker website in the country - PokerStars.bg
