Home victory for Marky_Crash
Right from Scotland he set off in the direction of London – to the WTCC race track Brands Hatch. Not to win the high-powered touring Car series but to win the Poker Race Trophy.
It was the 4th Round of the Poker Race Trophy, near London - although no bad weather, just poker and racing enthusiasm all round. The chance to play poker in front of running cameras with the winner to play in the $500,000 prize pool final end of November this year. These are the facts.
Marky_Crash has qualified for a Poker Race Trophy weekend for an amazing third successive time. In Spanish Valencia he was sent to the rail after a bad coinflip against the winner DoggyP75. In Brno his Pocket 4’s were not good enough against Puggy82 (the winner of the third round). He made the third place in the Czech Republic...
But this time – at his home turf in the UK – Marky was standing in the flashlights of the cameras in the winner pose. At Brands Hatch his AT Pocket Cards took him to the final against his opponent's KJ. Balthazar73 called 700 up to the Big Blind, Marky pushed all-in and the Bulgarian player called again. Without any help from the board Marky jumped up more than happy after winning with his Ace-high. He has now banked a minimum of $10,000 in the big Final on November 29th in Vienna, Austria.
Marky Superstar
The 32-year-old Scotsman is well known in the PokerRoom Pokah Community. Lots of fans and friends followed his performance till late at night and were celebrating his great victory.
10 to 15 hours of pure online poker playing per day – this is the daily average of this Poker player. Through his favourite game Omaha he has qualified for the WSOP 2007 as a member of Team PokerRoom. In Vegas he was facing poker superstars like Johnny Chan and Marcel Luske.
Together with 4erkess (Latvia), DoggyP75 (Finland), and Puggy82 (UK), Marky takes seat number four at the final table. It's just getting serious as there are only two seats left in the final.
The 60 minute Race Trophy magazine with the pictures from the race track and of the TV-table in Brands Hatch can be watched on Eurosport on Friday, August 1. (repeat: August 3 and 4).
