Peter Gelencser winning the last PartyPoker European challenge

Peter Gelencser, a young rising star in the world of poker. This 20 year old poker player took home first place with over 160,000 Euro in the European challenge held by Party Poker.

I was especially impressed by Gelencser’s quiet style, as opposed to his 2007 performance. While in the 2007 games he stood up throughout all the games but failed to reach the top, this year he was not even noticed till the few last rounds and ended up taking first place.

Big Disappointment for the WPT held in Slovakia

Big Disappointment for the WPT, (World poker tour) which took place in Slovakia. The event didn’t attract as many people as the organizer expected. Local participants say that there were only 100 players so far.

The winner of the first stage was the Hungarian poker player – Richard Toth. It’s not really a big surprise since Toth is an experienced poker player and has already won the forth position in the WPT that was held in the Bellagio.

Poker beginners? Start with free poker games

It is very tempting to immediately start playing with real money when you enter an online casino site. The bonuses are attracting and you start feeling lucky and suddenly you find your self with an open account and your money invested in it. The thing is beginners should never put them selves in a position where they gamble for money and are not sure about how to play. This is exactly why the free online poker games were created, to let beginners practice and start gambling with real money only after they have gained experience and confidence.
