Jan 23, 2020 Doug Polk and his popular poker coaching site Upswing Poker may be in some trouble. A thread erupted on the Two Plus Two Forum’s famous News, Views, and Gossip topic. In it, users are debating whether or not Linus “LLinusLLove” Loeliger should sue Upswing for using his name, image and hand histories in their promotionial and commercial material.
If you’ve tuned into the Super High Roller Bowl Online (SHRBO) coverage, there’s a hangover coming.
It’s over.
Well, nearly.
The preliminary rounds are over, and going into the final day, it came down to a battle between a Swede and Russian for the $102,000 SHRBO seat.
Going into the final triumvirate of tournaments, Viktor Blom led the way, with Artur Martirosian in second place. If Blom could put in a better performance than Martirosian, then nothing the Russian could do would prevent the online legend from finishing on top of the podium.
It didn’t happen.
Blom failed to cash in any of the last three events.
In contrast, Martirosian put in another sterling performance, finishing runner-up to Linus Loeliger in the $25,500 No Limit Hold ’em event, and third and tenth in the final $10,300 No Limit Hold ’em events to generate an additional 351-points, sailing to the top of the leaderboard.
The Russian is one of the newest high rollers on the block, and it’s been quite the entrance, adding the $1.8m earned in the SHRBO preliminaries to the $1.3m accumulated during the Poker Masters Online Series a few weeks ago.
Martirosian will be one of the favourites competing in the $102,000 SHRBO, but who will join him?
Samuel Vousden crushed the 103-entrant field in Event #25: $10,300 No Limit Hold ’em. Vousden toppled the two-time SHRB winner, Timothy Adams, heads-up, to earn $252,350 – will he invest it in an SHRBO seat?
Linus Loeliger was the biggest earner of the Poker Masters Online Series ($1.5m), and he hasn’t done too poorly in this one. The Swiss star ended the series with $833,532 in gross profit, with $520,000 earned after he defeated Martirosian in the heads-up phase of Event #26: $25,500 No Limit Hold ’em – will he invest it in an SHRBO seat?
Finally, Michael Addamo overcame the 88-entrant field in Event #27: $10,300 No Limit Hold ’em to secure the $228,800 first prize after beating Mikita Badziakouski in heads-up action – will he invest it in an SHRBO seat?
