The Period III, which is currently underway at the Online Poker World Championship, has become the most challenging phase in the history of the whole competition with several records broken in the meantime.
“Ellie91” an anonymous poker player from the United Kingdom who just joined the race, has totally smashed the previous individual mark of 326 units set during Period I by Claudiu A.K.A “4Soul”. The talented European rounder has written his name with golden letters, accompanied with a massive 435 points record, on top of the world poker ranking.
Until this period “4Soul” was untouchable, but it seems like every day, more and more sharks are approaching to get a piece of the amazing money prizes and the adrenaline only the OPWC has to offer. Five online poker players have already crossed the 200 point bar and there’s still 28 days to build a score at the OPWC’s Accepted Poker Rooms.
Any candidate who tries to reach the Top 10 during the running period will have to collect at least 133 units. This is also a new record given that during the previous phases the elite positions required fewer points to be owned (Period I 107, Period II 120). This clearly shows the increasing quality of the competitors and the progressively tougher field any OPWC Team wannabe has to face as the Online Poker World Championship moves forward.
Despite the dramatic changes in quality and strength seen during the current chapter, Europe is still the dominator of the whole ranking with 6 players on Top 10 and owning the first three spots completely. Will the grinders from other lands be able to defeat the massive power of the leaders? The good news are that there’s still plenty of time to achieve that goal and given the fair conditions of the international poker competition, even the lowest-level Sit n’ Go players have a chance to prove their mettle and win their seats at the OPWC Main Event.
The coverage for United States-friendly poker rooms has been suspended for technical reasons beyond the OPWC’s control; nonetheless, we are working hard to re-establish it and find alternative ways to avoid further complications. PKR and Lotos Poker are working normally with 99.9% coverage of the results obtained by the players. The OPWC might accept more poker rooms in the coming days and will keep an active search in order to provide a solution for USA participants.
There’s no better place to add such great value to your regular Sit n’ Go sessions at the online tables, besides the thrilling sensation to be in the race for the online poker World Title and one of the sponsorship deals worth $10.000 given each season after the Main Event is finished. The OPWC is your chance to boost your online poker career, start making serious money from your game and earn the respect and fame a shark like you deserves through a site with more than 15 thousand sign-ups and a Facebook fan page with daily updates and almost thirty thousand followers.
