Weekly RankingHero Highlights

This week we cheered for several RankingHero members who did great at #BPTDeauville Main Event, finishing 4th - @Nicolas Villemin, 3rd - @Brian Benhamou and 2nd - @Laurent HADOT. Laurent treated us to an excellent account of his first BPT at Deauville, which you can read in French on his blog page: Mon 1er BPT à Deauville, un week-end rempli d'émotions !

We tested our poker face reading skills with the test developed by psychologist Paul Ekland and published by BBC Science: Spot the Fake Smile and we imagined a possible final table for The Big One for One Drop - the $1,000,000 buy-in tournament that makes even the Poker Big Ones dream.

This week's VegasHero ambassador, @Benjamin Pollak was on RankingHero last night for a Q&A session. He shared he could hardly expect to find another occupation that would give him such freedom and enjoyment yet has been considering options for 'life after poker' for at least two years now.

Featured festivals and tournaments: BPT Deauville.

Ranking of the week: the all-time Bulgaria earnings ranking has seen @Atanas Gueorguiev move up to second place, just $16,000 ahead of the 2013 WSOP bracelet winner @Simeon Naydenov.

Warm welcome to @Ruth Hall - a WiPHoF induction nominee dedicated to bringing more women into poker; Ruth recently collected a number of helpful WSOP tips for women. We are happy that the RankingHero community has grown with hundreds of new accounts created in the past week, among whom @Philippe Culot @Leandro Gaone @Benjamin Brami and many, many others :)

Special thanks to Poitiers Poker Club and to everyone posting and sharing links, articles, photos, hand histories, and - last but not least - funny gifs and jokes so that we all have useful & fun content to come back to on RankingHero!

We will be happy to see you on Facebook as well and count on you to spread the word and help our community grow :)

Yours truly,
