Team Pokerstars Pro Tuesdays :

PokerStars has made it even easier for its patrons to watch, chat, and compete with their lineup of professional players with the addition of Team Pro Tuesdays. The weekly promotion will feature two “Outlast the Pro” tournaments at 13:00 and 20:00 ET wherein the site promises to offer up $1,000 in bonuses.

Team PokerStars pros will be competing in each $11 buy-in tournament for the regular share of the prize pool. Once all Team Pros have been eliminated, the remaining players will then equally divide the $1,000 in bonus cash.

For example, if there are 100 players remaining when the last PokerStars pro is eliminated, then everyone will earn an additional $10. If someone is good enough to beat a Team PokerStars Pro member heads up, then he or she will pocket the full $1,000 for themselves.

Daniel Negreanu summed it up best in his blog: “That makes for some interesting side rooting! If you are one of the big stacks, you are obviously hoping that the Pros stay alive as long as possible so that you get a bigger piece of the pie. If you are a short stack, then you want to see the Pros go broke!”

Finding Negreanu and others on the site is as easy as clicking on the “Team Pro” button at the bottom of the main lobby window.

1): Chris Moneymaker vs. Sammy Farha - The Bluff Heard Around the World

Heads-up at the 2003 WSOP Main Event Chris Moneymaker proved that he had what it takes to defeat a great player like Sammy Farha.

Moneymaker semi-bluffs the turn and bluff-shoves his broken draw on the river, getting Farha to lay down the best hand.

This hand was a pivotal point in both the heads-up match and the evolution of the poker world.
