A full round-up of the live tournament action from the World Series of Poker Circuit in Rozvadov, the Irish Poker Open, the WPTDeepStacks in Johannesburg and the Super High Roller Bowl.
Some people are waking up in a factory packing crab sticks. A banker. A painter. What do you call yourself if you work in a crab stick packing factory? A crab stick packer? A factory worker? Think how shocked they would be to learn that somewhere in the world men and women sit down to play cards for a living. They call themselves professional poker players, and they don’t smell of fish, well, not all of them.
A bunch of these ‘pros’ have been mixing it up with the amateurs over at King’s Casino Rozvadov on the Czech/German border. The World Series of Poker Circuit (WSOPC) has been in town since March 1 – 19, and Amar Begovic has taken down the Main Event.
The Bosnian outlived 796 entrants in the €1,650 Main Event. For his efforts, the WSOP awarded him with €220,000, a smidgen more than his previous personal best of €10,910.
