Where he could be seen playing the lowest limit live games in his home country just over a year ago, he’s now playing in the largest tournaments in the continent, currently cashing in 100% of the big-buyin tournaments he’s entered, something that’s obviously going to get him mentioned on the interweb.

The Mad World of Poker believes in Jonathan Abdellatif and have decided to keep track of his performance in the circuit with special attention. Keep your eyes on the blog for more Jonathan Abdellatif-updates soon — and we hope to have an interview with him available for you soon as well.

Fingers crossed, and may all of Jonathan Abdellatif’s hands be winners!

This time a didnt play the poker online game in a Online Casino or Casino en Ligne as they would say in the French part of Canada but he played in the live Kasino.

Daniel Negreanu has had alot of succes when playing poker. When he play poker online it’s normally for some small stakes and he doesnt really like it. Negeanu is always known for his skill to read opponents and thats alot harder to do when your playing in a casino online.

The beste casino online is that in the real casino Negreanu can really read his opponents and have a egde on his opponents.

The native Canadian did very wel in the River Rock Casino in Richmond. He became first out of 689 players who went for the final in this great poker tournament.

Normally Casinos en Ligne have much less cost then normal Casinos and so the prize money can be alot higher then because the online Casino takes less rake then the normal Casino. For online Poker players this is a great advantage. But we dont think Negeanu will complain because he won $371.000 with his first place victory.

If you want to find out about the beste online casino and the best online bonus poker you can allweays ask Daniel Negreanu about his opinion.

The KK wasn’t that strong by the river (and yes, he probably should have protected his hand on the turn, but oh well…) so the call is excellent…

Way to go Phil — nice hand!

P.S. In the middle of the hand Phil Hellmuth stupidly starts talking about himself… SO SICK lol. :D Hellmuth thought he had it. :D

Luckily, I finally managed to turn the tide a little with a pretty solid Two-table sit&go win. It’s only 18 players, but it got me back most of my losses of the last ten days, which is obviously good news.

I plan on not playing too much today and Thursday – and move on to a big Pot Limit Omaha tournament session on Friday. I’m trying to master the game, and I feel like I can best do that in tournaments, as the swings in the cash games are pretty huge…

Wish me luck! :)
