Panella86 on pokerstars 100/200

[whiskeytown]

as most of us would guess, the guy that won the WCOOP main event is now sitting on 100/200 Pokerstars - looking for an opponent -

as far as I know, he's 18 and prone to drinking - anyone looking to pluck chickens should reload immediately - esp. you 100/200 players - /images/graemlins/grin.gif

[MicroBob]

Except I thought that this guy was playing on his friend's account and was going to transfer all the money to himself.

maybe he's still playing on his "friend's account" or something.


If I had the roll I would be happy to take him on heads-up.
He's obviously a decent player with his back-to-back final tables in the WCOOP...but I have my doubts as to whether he's really THAT freaking good.
Very little chance that he's nearly as good as he THINKS he is.

[whiskeytown]

he didn't have back to back finishes - unless you mean over the course of 15 days...or else he played them under a different account....

in fact, the poker database only shows one other tourney on PS he's played in - this win was his only one..

[Clayton]

His name is Jordan Berkowitz. He used his mom's account to make the final table last year in 7th (PagonaB for Pagona Berkowitz). This year he used a friend's account, Panella86, and won this year.

[Circle5823]

How much was the first place prize this year?

[Quicksilvre]

Before the chop, it was north of $800,000, but panella took down about $570,000, if I recall correctly.

Or maybe he has seven accounts like every other goddamn internet player.

[whiskeytown]

+ the 50K that was left on the table to play for - I remember when they did the chop it was like 52, 55, and 57K and whoever won would be the one that won the most - the deal was pretty close to even cause everyone was very close in chip counts -

the tard said he was only gonna take the deal initially if the money could be transferred to another account - when they said they couldn't, he went with it anyways...

[dibbs]

There's a big difference between a solid tourney player and high stakes cash game player.

Rumor has it his shots at big cash games before didn't, uh, work out so well.

[rooney]

I would definately take on him if I were bankrolled for 5k$ HU .. right now hes making a good shot at blowing trough his $$ at two 100/200 short handed games and one 5k$ HU match ... that just can't be positive EV for him!

[DeadMoneyOC]

[ QUOTE ]

Have you played against him before? Do have any idea what it actually takes to beat those games? I know I sure dont, and I am not making judgements. I think others should do the same!

[/ QUOTE ]
When I was watching him it was the other way around, plus he was dropping money all over the place on the two 100/200 tables he was on

[rooney]

example.. if you play some of the best on stars in 4 5k$ HU matches you 4-TABLE HU against the best! each of them 1-table against you.. how can you beat them? and im a high stakes player.. just not that high lol

conclusion: 4 tabling head up with 20k$ on stake at a time = stupid (has to be?)

Most eyes were on a man named Curt. He only had $600 in chips and the antes were eating him alive. I stepped away for two seconds. When I returned, Curt had his final $200 in chips in the middle. The button put in a raise, and to many people's surprise, both blinds called. The flop came out Q88. The blinds checked to the button, who, again to everybody's surprise, bet out. The small blind bailed out, but the big blind called. The turn came as a seven. This time the surpise came from the big blind, Jordan Berkowitz, who bet out. Now, the button came over the top all in. Berkowitz thought for a few moments before calling all in. The hands...

Curt: KK (Kings up)
Berkowitz: 77 (sevens full of eights)
Button: QQ (queens full of eights)

There are plenty of players with "skills" who are complete douchebags. The fact they have skills does not negate their overall douchebaggery.

The guy has had some short-term success in one or more MTT's. Bravo. He also:

1) Dropped out of high school (smart move!)
2) Is spending his money on jewellery, cars and clothes as quickly as he's making it.
3) Believes that he needs to walk around the house to find a "lucky room" before he can play.
4) Lives at home with his mom.
5) Wears fur coats with shorts.
6) Sounds like a retard every time he opens his mouth.

Sounds like a douchebag to me.

[slickpoppa]

Word on the street is that he also ran up some pretty big debt under his mom's name before his recent success.

[g3rkshz]

based on Hopey's points, i now also declare him a major blowhard/douchenozzle

This guy will be interviewed in the next 10-30 minutes on sportsradio 610 WIP in Philadelphia - you can listen live on 610wip.com or by (hopefully) this link (http://tuner1.dc1.sonixtream.com/solon/media/tuner/Tuner?aff=610wip&useSame=true&type=IE) - a warning, the morning show (6-10am) is absolutely brutal so you'll have to suffer through it to listen - i'll update the thread when the interview's over so you dont have to listen to any more than you need to

[CCx]

interview will start after this commercial break (they already had hugh douglas talking to him about his cars... he's got a little ben roethlisberger "i talk like i was raised in the hood now that ive got money" in him)

Interview over... I think the best part was when he told Hugh Douglas (who made more money in one roster bonus than this kid will ever make in his whole life)

"I like your watch, I got the same one but it's got diamonds in it.." to which Hugh replied "man.... I've already been there and done that"

He also said he was a virgin... a good sound bite for sure!
