The next blog tournament will be hosted by New Zealand Red Pro Simon Watt.
The tournament is No Limit Holdem $1 +.10 buy-in and we will add $100 to the prize pool.
There is an FTP t-shirt bounty on our Red Pro. Congrats to ‘Cashlinks’ for knocking out James Akenhead last week.
Tournament ID#234247387
Starts at 8am ET Tuesday June 7th
The password will be on Simon’s Facebook Page the day of the tournament.
Some trivia about this week’s host Simon Watt:
Hometown & country: Auckland, New Zealand
Personal interests: Travelling and seeing new places, eating out at nice restaurants, drinking good beer and wine.
Favourite TV show or film: High Stakes Poker
Favourite music: It depends on my mood, when I’m playing poker I mainly listen to classical music.
Favourite type of poker: No Limit Texas Hold’em cash games – particularly Rush Poker. I’ve been playing a little No Limit 2-7 Single Draw lately too which I’m still pretty bad at but it’s fun.
Favourite casino: Crown Casino, Melbourne.
Best moment in your poker career so far: Winning a WSOP bracelet in 2010 for 615k, made even better because it was against Durrrr when we got down to heads up. He had a lot of bracelet side bets, so the event got more interest than it otherwise would have.
If you could give one piece of advice to people starting out in poker what would it be: Find people who are better at poker than you and talk to them non stop about hands and poker theory.
Most interesting thing you did in the last week: Finished converting part of my garage into a home office, so I now have somewhere quiet to play online poker.
Finish the sentence “if I wasn’t playing poker I would be…” pretty bored a lot of the time, and probably spending most of my time grinding out a career in software development which isn’t nearly as fun as poker!

Welcome back to another week of Red Pro News in which we bring you all the news from the world of the Full tilt Pros.
Full Tilt Pros Pony up 100k in inaugural WPT Super High Roller Tournament
29 players ponied up $100,000 to play in the first ever World Poker Tour Super High roller event. After day one 17 players remain, Vivek Rajkumar leading the Full Tilt representatives with 1,628,000 chips putting him in second place. Kicking at his heels is Erick Lindgren who sits with just 21,000 less in third place. A shortstacked Erik Seidel brings up the chip count rear but it would be foolish to discount the unofficial 2011 High Roller Master from yet another title this year.
First place will take home $1,092,780 for their efforts, play continues today. Follow updates on the World Poker Tour website.
Andrew “luckychewy” Lichtenberger edges out Brian “Stinger885” Hastings in €5,000 Headsup at EPT Grand Final
Andrew Lichtenberger surged through a star studded field in the €5,000 No Limit Hold’em Headsup Championship at the EPT Grand Final in Madrid, Spain. Of the four spots paid Full Tilt Pros took 3 with James Akenhead losing to Brian Hastings in the Semi Finals earning €19,500.
Brian Hastings blogged about his trip over at CardRunners;
“It was on to the finals, where I faced off against Andrew Lichtenberger aka luckychewy. Andrew was the one player in the field whom I really didn’t want to face, as he has way more HUNL experience than me especially in the recent past. He beat me up pretty good in match 1, but I returned the favor in match 2. Match 3 went back and forth for a while before he took control and won it, and in match 4 I got grinded down before getting my last 4500 or so in with 99 vs AQ and losing. Andrew outplayed me and deserved to win, although he was the real fish because the next day he was supposed to go to El Bulli but slept in and missed his flight and couldn’t get there. What a beat! Anyway, I was very happy with my second place finish.”
