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 :)
