Weekly RankingHero Highlights

In the past week we've been celebrating our shared love for the game of poker and have been thinking about why we play! From adrenaline and addiction, to self-knowledge and 'hunger for rewards' the reasons we've shared are very different but one thing is certain: it's much MoreThanMoney :) 

Visit the discussion page to see the answers by the French and English-speaking members of the community and by some of the top pros interviewed by Pedro Canali! Thank you,@Despé fraiche, @Christian Grenier, @Nicolas Esslinger @floyde @ShiShiFed @Alessio Bianchi and everyone else who posted!    

In live tournament poker, @Phil Ivey recorded another amazing achievement for his poker resume - his third win in the Aussie Millions 250K Boutique Challenge! Does this herald an end to the super high-roller domination of @Daniel Colman?..Remains to be seen :)

The EPT Deauville was in the focus of attention during the week, not least with the controversy that broke out after 22 male players entered the Ladies Event and a man won the first-place prize!

In other news, we introduced you to a four-member family from Birmingham, UK, all of whom play poker for a living - Meet the Sheils :)

Tickets are now on sale for the glamorous awards ceremony of The British Poker Awards, presented by @Bluff Europe, which is  to take place on Feb. 23rd at @The Hippodrome Casino London!  

Special welcome to @Benjamin Costa Miranda @Aurelie Quelain @Michael Christiansen   @Christophe "karl la carpe"Julien @Florian Ribouchon  and all of our new members!

From Deauville to Macau, through Melbourne, Los Angeles, and London - so many of you cashed in live events across the world! Congrats to @Sergio Aido Espina, @Casey Greggain @Pasquale Grimaldi @Hideki Takafuji @Ellie Biessek @Charles Calfelis and the many, many others!

Good luck at the tables and check back tomorrow for clues about our next great WeeklyHero :)
