Le Barrière Poker Tour fait le plein de joueurs et de surprises

Le #Barrière Poker Tour de Montreux a réalisé une performance au moins aussi surprenante que celle de son vainqueur en attirant plus de 417 participants (et une quarantaine de re-entries) dans le Main Event de son édition suisse. @Nathan Keck (avec 48'000 euros) s'impose en local de l'étape à la surprise générale. Nathan ne s'est décidé que quelques heures avant le début du tournoi pour s'engager, et on peut espérer que son nouveau bankroll (une fois déduite la part de son investisseur avisé) le fera revenir sur les tapis à l'avenir.

Son dauphin et autre surprise locale @Patrick Lienard devance l'expérimenté @Claude Metais qui confirme néanmoins son statut d'habitué des podiums du BPT. Le succès rencontré auprès de la communauté poker suisse - mal pourvue en tournois de qualité - se confirme avec 14 Helvètes dans les 20 premiers!

 La qualité de l'organisation a été tout au long du weekend saluée par l'ensemble des participants, sans doute aidée par le cadre majestueux et la raclette qui vous feraient oublier même les pires busts. Prochaine étape du BPT: Bordeaux du 7 au 9 mars!

The New Poker Role Models - Danielle Andersen

I am fairly certain I’m the only high stakes poker player in the world who has simultaneously: multi-tabled high stakes, cooked dinner, and read a book to my three-year-old! Seriously.

A young mother from Minnesota is the latest @Ultimate Poker pro team addition.  Danielle Andersen is certainly not just another lovely face with a sponsorship deal in the world of poker. She is famous in the poker community as one of the three players featured in the 2013 documentary Bet, Raise, Fold about online poker before & after #BlackFriday. And before she did the film she was well-known under the online screen name Dmoongirl and as one of the top female earners of online poker.

“It’s not just a game, it’s my livelihood,” Danielle Andersen says on the Bet, Fold, Raise documentary, and it’s been that way ever since the day she left her job at a local shoe store and dropped out of college to pursue poker full-time. “Eventually, to set a good example for my son, and have a backup plan should the sky fall on poker (spoiler: it did), I went back to school and graduated with a nursing degree in 2010.” The fact that she did is further evidence of her realistic, responsible, hard-working, and very likeable self.

#BlackFriday 2011 was a hard blow to Danielle and as she would neither move abroad or leave poker, she ended up at the live tables and has since preferred to play cash games. In 2013 @FullTilt Poker  sponsored her for the @WSOP Main Event and most recently she won a longer-term sponsorship deal with @Ultimate Poker.

“Proud to be where I’ve ended up,” says Danielle and we can only share her sincere delight. Danielle’s life experience and inner strength, her friendly personality and All-American, down-to-earth charm are certain to strike the right chord with the public and she will make a great ambassador for the game of poker at a time when it needs every little help it can get to regain its credibility and popularity in U.S.
