Team Pros speak about their best live tournament memory



For many people our most memorable live tournament is the primary one we win. Who can forget those moments when you successful navigate the overall table, while you slip away to somewhere private to jump up and down with a stupid grin in your face (before doing a lap of honour of the casino restroom). Then, as you stride purposefully away, having won the Tuesday night local £20 freeze-out, you concentrate on the one logical next step--to turn pro.

But it is not always the primary win that leaps to mind, as members of Team PokerStars Pro explained through the Billionth Tournament Carnival on PokerStars. Often it means greater than just winning. It's about what it means personally, and the way it might probably function a prelude to something more, something just like the start of a career. Or, sometimes nothing greater than the easy satisfaction of doing all your job well.

Celina Lin is one such player, most keen on the tournament that served as her first step to, what several years later, has proved a highly successful career as a certified poker player.

"For me essentially the most memorable tournament I ever played on PokerStars was the primary time I qualified for a live event via a satellite," said Lin. "I used to play online just about exclusively, and so I'll always remember the day I won a package to visit APPT Macau (back in Season 1). It was so exciting winning the seat plus accommodations and a few spending money, and naturally I had no idea on the time where that trip would ultimately lead for me. It was an actual life-changer, because it turned out!"

That have been the appeal of PokerStars tournaments ever since they were first created--the opportunity to play high stakes poker for all times changing money, all around the world, with travel and accommodation taken care of, leaving you to be aware of playing the sport you're keen on against the most efficient players on the planet. And when you thought that the regular pros get bored of this kind of thing, finding it merely a typical a part of their day job, you would be mistaken.

"My favourite memories all need to do with winning satellites and packages to travel to live events," confessed Christian de Leon. "THEY ARE NOT easy to win, and whenever it happens for me it's so exciting.

"I should get an image of myself the following time I win one. I'm sure my expression can be funny to see, as I'm always so ecstatic whenever that happens."

Then there are the more simple triumphs, the non-public wins that bring a certified a degree of fulfilment that only they are able to understand, something that Leo Margets rates highly.

"Not long after EPT London ended recently I USED TO BE still there and was capable of play the Saturday $215 NLHE Weekly Turbo by which I STOPPED second," said Margets, reflecting at the simple victory in place of anything "That was very satisfying as I only get a couple of chances here and there to play at the main site."

That's one tournament kick-starting a career, one sparking scenes of childlike joy, while another provided some job satisfaction. If you are still in search of your individual favourite tournament memory then you definitely might love to become involved within the Billionth Tournament Carnival, with multiple opportunities to win big and earn yourself a narrative.
