CelebPoker.com Player wins €102,723 Bad Beat Jackpot

At 2.12 AM on 26 February, 2009 the CelebPoker.com Bad Beat Jackpot was hit for €293,495 on a €0.25/€.50 Bad Beat cash table where nine players were seated. The poker player with the screenname "oFFshore*" held pocket jacks, while his opponent square19 held "the bullets" (pocket Aces).

* The flop was dealt: Ace, Jack, Jack
- giving player "square19" a full house (Aces over Jacks) and giving offShore* quad Jacks.

* The turncard was the deuce of diamonds.

* The river was dealt: Ace of hearts
This rivercard gave the underdog "square19" four of a kind Aces, meaning a sick beat for "square9".

Usually one would scream at the monitor or utter something in disgust after such a sick beat - however because this was a bad beat jackpot table, both players were elated.

As you would expect with two players holding such premium hands, both players were all in. square19 won the €109 pot by hitting his quad Aces on the river, but oFFShore* with Quad Jacks won the CelebPoker Bad Beat Jackpot.

Payouts were:

oFFShore* - €102,723
square19 - €51,261
The other 7 players dealt into the hand each received €7,337.

Gaining buy-in Advantage in a Poker Tournament - CelebPoker.com

You don't get this opportunity often, but sometimes you can make a financial advantage just by registrating for a Multi Table Poker Tournament (MTT)!

“How is this possible?” you think? The answer is within the "overlays" given by guaranteed prizepools offered for some MTTs.

An example: On Sunday the 02/11/2008 the €250.000 Guaranteed Poker Tournament at CelebPoker had a €320 Buy-In. 613 players registered for this tournament. Now the calculation fun begins!

First you have to divide the offered Prizemoney with the number of players who registered. In this example: €250,000 / 613 (players) = €407.

This means that your ticket is worth than €407. As your ticket costs €320, you are automatically gaining the equivilent of an extra €87 to pay for your entry (€407-€320 = €87). Ok, you don't get the cash in the bank, but you do get it as an advantage for the buy-in as you have less poker players to compete for the prizepool with.

You can easily calculate the number of players that turns a guaranteed tournament +-0 in added value if you divide the sum of guaranteed prizemoney with the Buy-In amount. In our example above it would be like this: 250.000 (€) / 320 (€) = 781.

That shows that when the number of players is equal or higher than 781 there is no added money in the prizepool. Therefore you dont get this extra value (overlay) for your registration. When you keep this kind of calculation in mind you can make use this overlay to your advantage by paying attention to the CelebPoker-MTT-Lobby.

Take these chances when you find these Overlays to pimp your bankroll! Good Luck CelebPoker.com

CelebPoker.com Unearths New Poker Talent…

Last month http://www.celebpoker.com/ began its worldwide search for poker players to represent them at major European poker events, with an innovative promotion entitled Team CelebPoker. What they could not have foreseen was just how popular this event was going to be…

From day one, Team CelebPoker has seen a flurry of activity on the site with thousands of online poker players heading straight for the tables. Players from all over the globe have joined in the competition, eager to win a place in the Team and demonstrate their ability at a live EPT event.

CelebPoker are looking for players to form part of two teams and represent the sponsored Team CelebPoker at different events across Europe. They are hoping that the increased activity will help unearth the next superstars of poker…

Poker Room Manager, Linda Donovan, said that she has been delighted with the popularity of this competition:

“Team CelebPoker has been totally embraced by our players; it goes to show that online poker players are hungrier than ever to play in live events. We have had entrants from all over the world, which is fantastic, and the standard of play has been really high.”

The success of CelebPoker’s most recent venture, certainly proves that there’s nothing quite like the thrill of testing your poker skills against other players in a live tournament. Indeed during recent years, a number of online poker players have made the transition and proved themselves worthy winners at many high profile live events.

This is something Donovan is all too aware of:
“I am really excited about Team CelebPoker. We know that there is a great chance that we will unearth some of the best poker players in the world, and provide them with the opportunity to compete in some of the world’s top live events and become true poker celebrities”.

The search for Team CelebPoker is still in its infancy, and with the qualifying period running until late August, the competition is still wide open and the team is far from decided.

With more and more participants joining every day, CelebPoker are hoping they become the breeding ground for poker talent, as the search for the next star of poker ‘hots up’.

"I am confident that our Team CelebPoker will be a force to be reckoned with,” said Donovan.
