2009 WSOP Heads-up Recap

Posted on 11/10/2009 by giorgio

The Internet kid from Michigan takes down the 2009 World Series of Poker with 99, the same hand Phil rocked it with in 1999.

From all angles it looked like online poker player Joe Cada was in over his head today. All the time from the booth, Phil Hellmuth was announcing the kid’s plays before they were even made.

Phil Hellmuth would jokingly say “Cada raises 2.5 million from the button” before the cards were even dealt – and then Cada true to form would raise the bet, from the button.

His play might have made sense had it shown results. But usually he’d bet, Moon would call, on the flop Moon would bet out and Cada would fold. We saw this again and again. And again.

And then, before we really know what hit us, Cada woke up and flipped the script.

Cada makes a raise, Moon raised right back into him. Pretty much another obvious slap in the face from the lumberjack.
Cada shoves all of his chips into the middle.

2009 World Series of Poker Runner Up Darwin Moon The burly logger sits back, he asks for a count, and does something you don’t see every day in a poker tournament. He rubs his belly. Almost in anticipation of a juicy treat to come.

Moon stands up, which is a huge indication of an impending call. Phil Laak said during a commentary provided by Bluff Magazine that it improved Moon’s odds of calling by 8%. Then, he laid it down.

It was amazing really. The entire poker world was on edge, sure he was going to call. This was it!

And he folds?!

One has to think for a moment, what in the world did Darwin Moon lay down here? Did he realize a bit too late that he was beat, or did he miss his shot at the WSOP bracelet in this single hand?

About 10 hands later, Cada makes a bet, Moon re-raises – this has been his natural reaction all night long, and rightfully so. The board shows 10c 5d 9h.

Moon is forcing Cada all in.
Cada makes the call.

Another 10 is dealt on the turn, and Cada bets big into Moon, who immediately shoves all of his chips into the pot. Cada gives serious thought to his next move, after being pushed, and shoved, and punked all night long, Cada decides this IS his spot, and he calls for all of his chips.

Moon shows up with an open ender, no pair. Cada is ahead at this point with a wired pair of nines. Moon needs a jack or six, to end it right here.

Cada needs to avoid Moon’s two straight cards to double up. Good news is he’s holding one of Moon’s jacks. The river is no help to Moon and Cada in this one puts Joey Cada back into the game.

2009 WSOP Finals Winning Hand

2009 World Series of Poker Winner Joe Cada

18 hands later, in the 88th hand of the night, Moon re-raises into a bet made by Cada.

Cada having no more of Moon’s bullying shoves his chips in.
Moon calls without hesitation!

Cada has a pair of nines, and he’s facing Moon’s… Suited Overs!

All Joe Cada has to do here to become the World Series of Poker Main event winner of 2009 is avoid queens, jacks, and a diamond flush. The board shows 8c2c7s. While Joseph Cada was a slight favourite to win the hand pre-flop, he knows his chances have now improved dramatically to almost 80% in his favour. All Darwin Moon can do now is to hope for a Queen or a Jack or possibly a card that gives him an option for a straight on the river (a 9, which would improve Cada’s chances, or a T) – the diamond flush is no longer an option.

On the Turn we see the King of Hearts. This card helps no one but it definitely hurts Darwin Moon. This means there are only 6 outs left for him. If the River brings a Queen or a Jack he will win, but any other card will crown Joe Cada the WSOP Champion of 2009…

Everyone holds his breath. The River is being dealt. The card is turned. It is … a seven of clubs! Joe Cada’s cards hold up, and 21 year old Joseph Cada is the 2009 WSOP Champion! Darwin Moon’s run has been spectacular but ends right at the final table. Knowing him he will take the positive out of this experience. Especially since his father suggested he better take the buy-in for the WSOP which he won in a qualifier and cash it out. His decision turned out to pay off despite ending up short at the final Heads-Up.

WSOP November Nine

Posted on 10/01/2009 by giorgio

The November Nine Get Ready for the 2009 WSOP Final Event!

When the World Series of Poker 2009 began, there were nearly 6,500 participants in competition for the title and the bracelet. Over a 12 day period, these players were eliminated from the competition leaving only a final 9 who were triumphant and are now ready to compete in the November 7th finals for 2009’s Word Series of Poker!

The grand prize for this year’s WSOP Championship is a mouth-watering $8 Million, and the final players, coined the November Nine will make sure that the competition heats up!

A Mix of Pros and Amateurs at the Final Table

The final WSOP Table will boast and interesting combination of players with varying levels of experience. Despite the large number of professional poker players who were among the initial participants, a few amateurs are leading the way in chip totals from the earlier games. Among the November Nine are 4 players who are new to the series, and in many cases, the offline world of Poker in general.

In fact, the chip leader, Darvin Moon is a logger by trade and was surprised to snag a seat to play in the WSOP at all, but now finds himself in a precarious place in the final table with 58,930,000 chips to his name going into the final stretch of the competition. Also amongst the amateur rankings of the November Nine are Steven Begleiter, a financial businessman; 21 year-old Joseph Cada, the youngest in the competition; and Antoine Saout from France who has had no previous experience playing in the live Poker game.

Phil Ivey WSOP 2009 Mixed in amongst the amateurs are professionals that could certainly step up the competition, which could lead to a disappointment for those rooting for the amateurs. The November Nine also consists of Phil Ivey, a name that’s well known in the Poker world for his past winnings of 7 World Series of Poker Championships where he took home the bracelets and approximately $10 million in winnings total.

Also playing are James Akenhead, a popular professional player from the UK; Kevin Schaffel, with his 51 years of age the oldest player with a history of wins; Jeff Shulman, player and editor of Card Player Magazine; and Eric Buchman, a younger player with a small fortune in Poker winnings.

Max Poker Bonus Top 20

Posted on 08/24/2009 by giorgio

In this blog post I am going to point out the top 20 things you can find on, or because of Max Poker Bonus. This goes from features on our own site, special offers up to the best poker strategy tips. You can see it as a summary of all things you can get through Max Poker Bonus and a reference to use our website.

Max Poker Bonus Features (1-8)

Online Poker Rooms – A list of our recommended online poker rooms. We have the policy to never promote more than 10 poker rooms at the same time. Because of this “quality over quantity policy” we are able to provide an up to date portal at all times. All poker rooms in this list are rooms where we would play at ourselves. We have selected these online poker rooms because of their quality, reliability, bonuses and promotions. If you click further to a poker room, you will be presented with a comprehensive review that includes screenshots, traffic (fetched live), the next 10 tournaments, payment options, features and more.
Poker Bonus Offers – This page lists all our poker bonuses and their bonus codes where applicable. You can clearly see which of our poker bonuses are better than the ones advertised by online poker rooms themselves. From the list you can click to a specific poker bonus page to see the details, such as restrictions and clearance requirements.
Max Poker Bonus Calculator – Here you can submit the exact amount of money you plan to use when making a first deposit. You’ll be presented with the available bonuses for your deposit, how much bonus you will receive, how much time you will have to clear them, how many player points you will get for playing cash games and per dollar buy-in fee for tournaments. You can click through to the bonus details page as well. A demo of our bonus calculator can be seen in our YouTube channel.
Deposit Methods – The table displayed on this page shows the five most common deposit methods used by poker players. You will see which poker room offers a specific deposit method. In the column on the right you customize the table and deselect and select (by checking the check boxes next to a payment option) another deposit method which will then automatically appear in the table. From here you can as well follow a link to a payment option review. On a payment option review page you can see all the details regarding a payment option, such as how to create an account, information about transfers and fees, and the minimum and maximum deposit limits per online poker room. By clicking withdrawal methods, you will basically see a similar page as deposit methods. The only difference is that you will now see which poker rooms offer a specific withdrawal method, instead of deposit methods.
Online Poker Tournaments – All upcoming tournaments by the poker rooms listed on Max Poker Bonus. We have created an automated script that fetches data from online poker rooms every hour for 24 hours in advance. You’ll be presented an up-to-date poker tournament schedule with tournaments that have buy-ins starting from $10. The list can be completely sorted, as well as filtered (right side column) on buy-in from, buy-in to, poker room and game type. By clicking on info you will see the tournament details and the time it takes before a tournament starts.
Poker Odds Calculator – Use our own poker odds calculator to recalculate your chances before or after a hand. Very handy for evaluation purposes and fine tuning your personal poker strategy.
Dan Harrington’s M-Calculator – This tool helps you to determine your M (everybody who has read Dan Harrington’s tournament strategy books knows what I’m talking about) and adjust your tournament strategy according to the different zones. Besides a precisely calculated M, you will also see a calculation of your effective M and the exact zone you’re in.
Max Poker Blog – An interesting poker blog with several new poker related articles per week. These articles may contain the latest news from online poker rooms recommended by Max Poker Bonus, including bonus updates and the latest poker promotions, as well as general articles about our website, our poker team and poker industry related items. Furthermore you can read Max his poker strategy articles for beginners and somewhat advanced players, pro poker players and information about poker tournaments and events, either online or land based.

Best Offers on Max Poker Bonus (9-12)

bet365 Poker Bonus – Because of the fact that we only list a maximum of 10 online poker rooms, we can concentrate on getting better poker bonuses for our visitors. We offer an enhanced bonus from bet365 Poker which isn’t only higher as advertised by themselves, but is also 50% higher as advertised by most other poker related portals. Signing-up at bet365 Poker through Max Poker Bonus gets you a first deposit bonus of 200% up to $1,000, instead of 50% up to $200 (or 100% up to $500).
888 Poker Bonus – Another improved poker bonus is the one that we offer for 888 Poker. Instead of their own advertised bonus of $400, we offer a bonus of $600 (bonus code 600MAX). We have seen quite an amount of big players sign-up for this bonus offer specifically, and would highly recommend it to any player playing at least medium stakes cash games starting from $2/$4. Beginning poker players are advised to go for the $8 free bonus, which can be seen as a very fine bonus as well, without any risks.
Titan Poker Calculator – Another very cool (and profitable) offer, next to the bonus offer from Titan Poker we have just mentioned, is the free Titan Poker Calculator. This tool (prized $89,95) is given free to all players signing-up through the Max Poker Bonus website or using poker bonus code MPB150 and is really useful for poker players relatively new to the game who want to learn about odds and probabilities. (Offer has expired.)
partypoker Bonus – Last but not least, the new bonus offer from partypoker. This bonus is not better than advertised on other poker portals, but is recently improved to 100% up to $500 (from 100% up to $100) and very much worth while mentioning. It’s an incremental bonus and gives you a very good reason to sign-up at partypoker, in the rare circumstance that you haven’t got an account at one of the biggests online poker rooms in the world yet.

Top 5 Poker Websites Besides Max Poker Bonus (16-20)

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poker – Internet’s largest encyclopaedia is the place where to find everything there’s to know about the game of poker and all its variations.
pokerforfree.org – Since Max Poker Bonus is a site dedicated to the best poker bonuses, we don’t offer anything for free. Our sister site, PokerForFree.org, is the one you should visit if you’re interested in free poker bonus offers and free poker bankrolls.
pokernewsreport.com – Another great site is PokerNewsReport.com. They offer the latest news from the poker industry. Several articles are published daily and their RSS is a must read for every poker enthusiast. The articles vary from news about poker players, promotions and strategies.
playwinningpoker.com – Steve Badger’s site may not look the prettiest, but it is one of the most complete strategy resources that I’ve ever seen. PlayWinningPoker.com has helped me to develop my game over the years and become a better poker player. I am positive that it’s a extremely valuable resource to anyone into poker.
pokerbonuscodeonline.net – Additionally to the information offered on Max Poker Bonus we can recommend our friend’s site PokerBonusCodeOnline.net. They provide the best source when it comes to PKR Poker, including a comprehensive review about PKR and the software, a bonus guide, Club PKR, as well as an introduction to the PKR affiliate programme.

Recent Poker Software Updates

Posted on 08/17/2009 by giorgio

Some of our recommended online poker rooms have recently released new versions of their poker room software. bwin Poker for instance, they’ve released a complete new version, while partypoker just released some updates and extensions, but worthwhile mentioning very much.

New bwin Poker Client

As bwin Poker introduced their new poker room about a month ago, and they are the rightful owner of the Ongame Network, it means that other poker rooms on the network, such as BestPoker, will also benefit from it. This includes the possibility to download and install a Mac client.

bwin Poker Lobby The biggest change to the software is that the new poker software has an improved lobby. Besides a Quick-Seat option, you can filter the games and tourneys in stakes and types, as well as hide empty and/or full tables and hide running and/or finished tournaments.

Another very nice new feature is the table/tournament lobby – mini mode. You don’t have to activate the game or table to see what’s going on, as you can already see all the data just by selecting it. For cash games it means that you can see the players, their stack and position at a glance, and for tournaments it means that you can see all information related to the tournament you have selected. This is inclusive the time it takes before the tourney starts, how many players are registered, game type, starting stack, prize pool, etc. etc. From the lobby – mini mode you can activate the tournament lobby with extra information, such as levels, prizes and a player list. The days that you had to find all these details in a browser are finally gone – a much welcome improvement!

Still one of the biggest cons for bwin Poker’s client that I can think of – and one that still isn’t fixed to date – is the cashier, which is only accessible in a browser. It would be much better if this was integrated into the poker client.

partypoker Client Upgrade

partypoker came with a completely new version of their renowned online poker room about a year ago. With that specific release they’ve introduced a great piece of poker software, one that can compete with any other online poker room in the world. There have been numerous of upgrades between the first release and the last. Each and every time they try to improve their poker room and come up with innovative ideas – and so, also this time…

First and foremost, as Max Poker Bonus is a site about online poker bonuses afterall, partypoker changed their bonus system. You are now able to stack bonuses and prioritize them as you wish. For instance, if you are playing to release your partypoker bonus once a new bonus becomes available, you can choose to put the first bonus on hold (without loosing it, as long as its not expired) and work on the new one.

Further new features in partypoker’s software include: Hand histories up to the last 100 hands on a table (this should be unlimited IMO), 9-Handed Single Table Tournaments (STTs) and Omaha Tables, and Super Speed Games where you only have 9 seconds to act when its your turn.

Other Poker Room Updates

New software releases happen all the time. Only a few days ago, Titan Poker introduced a Flash Client, which finally enables Mac and Linux users to play poker on the iPoker Network too.

Everest Poker has changed (and improved) their VIP Summit Club, with more rewards for all players at all levels. They have also introduced live support for players who have reached up to Camp II (third level), so you can contact them instantly when you have something on your mind. All levels give you different options for freerolls, starting at $1,000 weekly up to $25,000 monthly, and much more…

Finally! Big Meets Big!

Posted on 08/05/2009 by giorgio

PokerStars First Deposit Bonus Whether it’s the recession, whether it’s the competition – there must be a reason but no matter what the reason is… it’s about time!

PokerStars has finally introduced a new first deposit bonus!

The new bonus of 100% up to $600 can finally compete with bonuses offered by other online poker, and because of this we expect to see PokerStars to grow even bigger.

If you haven’t played at PokerStars yet, then now is the time. If you have played at PokerStars, make sure to keep on reading, as they’ve also announced the biggest reload bonus ever. More about that below.

So, with a poker bonus that matches 100% of your first deposit up to a stunning $600 and numerous promotions, PokerStars has become one of most attractive online poker rooms for new players. Most important, the new incremental bonus is very easy to clear compared to the majority of bonuses! You only need to earn 17 Frequent Player Points per bonus dollar, thus 170 FPPs to clear one instalment of $10.

WCOOP Extreme Satellites

Besides the new first deposit bonus, there are many more reasons to play at PokerStars. One of them is the World Championship of Online Poker (WCOOP). This year’s WCOOP series consists of 45 different poker tournaments over a 18 day period, with a combined prize pool of $40,000,000 guaranteed!

During the month of August, until the 16th to be precise, PokerStars runs a promotion named the WCOOP Extreme Satellites, with two tournaments per day and more than $1,000,000 added value. Buy-ins for these satellites start as low as $7.50 all the way up to $215. Imagine yourself winning a diamond bracelet and a nice pile of cash for only $7.50. It can certainly be done!

PokerStars Reload Bonus, Bigger than Ever!

In case you are already active on PokerStars (which would not be strange for a poker room like theirs) you can now enjoy a reload bonus of 50% up to $300 max. Best of all, you can make up to 3 deposits (for example: 3x$100) as long as these deposits are made within 90 days after the first qualified deposit.

You have a total of six months to clear your entire bonus and any player that plays a little more than occasional should not have a problem with that.

Make sure to use PokerStars reload bonus code WCOOP to be eligible for PokerStars’ biggest reload bonus to date.
