Elky's money isn't gone he probably has made a lot more than 7 million actually.


Didnt he recently won a bracelet for some 100 k ?

yes, he won his first bracelet at this years WSOP
If you think it's too hard there are solutions other than asking for a nerf, getting better is the first that comes to mind.

In the United States you can play on Carbon, which is part of the Merge network, but I wouldn't risk depositing anywhere if I were you. They do have some freerolls if you wanna start from scratch though. After all of the stuff on black friday, I wouldnt consider any online money safe as an American. :/ It kinda sucks.


I've played some on Pokerstars here in Sweden and I see players labelled USA from time to time. How does this work if you can't play there?

We won't see Kiwikaki on the featured tables tonight, unless there is change of plans.

1st and 2nd tables are already decided. Those are Negreanus table and Chipleader Manoj Viswanathan's table.

Yes, of course he can be moved or they can change plans later on. :-)

Its legality here in the states is debatable. You can't technically gamble in states where it isn't legal to, but then again, the Pokerstars servers are located outside of the united states, so do they fall under US jurisdiction? It's hard to say.

Well, i'd say he rather wants to stay where he is right know, than move to the two featured tables.

If you get good at one thing by trying and practicing really hard, then it means you will be good at another thing if you try and practice hard too!


not as much as a connection of skill sets as much as it is the desire to succeed and the ability to critically analyze.
We talkin about PRACTICE

You can't just pick what tables to play :p Loads of people move around during the day, rather stay off the featured table tbh, much easier to chip up elsewhere!

a lot of pro players say that the skill sets (of decision making and strategy) transfer from SC to Poker pretty well considering that they're completely different games.

Have you been following the poker scene at all lately? Because if you have been, then you'd know that Pokerstars and Full Tilt Poker (as well as Absolute poker etc) closed their doors to US players awhile ago, so even while its legality is debatable, you should not be finding US players on those sites. This came after the FBI began their investigation into the heads of pokerstars and full tilt poker (in fact, FTP is now not operating at the moment, I believe).
