Nikita Bodiakovsky has often been victorious in the world’s most prestigious poker events. Two years and four years after the first victory, on August 16, 2022, the €100,000 Super High Roller tournament at EPT Barcelona was won. Find out how a Belarusian ended up with a check for €1,979,220 here.

Global Top 10

While there aren’t many opportunities to participate in high-stakes poker tournaments, the world’s most prominent players can always be found at the tables of online and live high roller events. That’s why consistent success requires not only a passing interest in the game, but also an understanding of the tactics involved.

Everybody even somewhat interested in poker in Belarus has heard of one of them since he is universally recognized as the finest player in the country. This player upped his game today:

Late in the night of August 16, 2022, Nikita Bodiakovsky won the EPT Super High Roller in Barcelona, earning himself the largest sum of money he has seen so far that year. The winner received €1,979,220 for their efforts.

Nikita has already won twice in this competition, which is rather interesting. In 2018, he was defeated for the first time by a €100,000 bet from a Spanish high roller.

With $37,681,580 in total deposits throughout the course of his career, Bodiakovsky has achieved the 10th spot on the global list of the finest tournament poker players after winning three high-stakes live events in 2022.

Closing tally

On the final day, Nikita stood in seventh position with a 20NTB stack out of a total of 52 players. Within the first thirty minutes, Bodiakowski had eliminated even shorter Nick Pertangelo (QQ-AJ) and was only two hands behind Mike Watson (KT-84, AQ-JJ).

The Belarusian didn’t slow down after being promoted to chipliner and recorded two more outs.

Heads-up

Bodyakovsky vs. Seidel, Nikita vs. Erik

Nikita’s opponent in one-on-one matches was the 62-year-old legendary player Erik Seidel. The World Series of Poker (WSOP) online high roller bracelet he won last year was his eighth overall.

Once again, the American began heads-up play with almost twice as many chips as his opponent and battled for more than three hours to claim victory.

After posting 66-A9, Eric doubled up, and then on board A5547, he won a huge pot with 53 over A7 to take over the lead. Nikita had a four-to-one chip advantage at one point.

The Belarussian regained the chip lead after a series of fortunate draws that resulted in no showdowns, including one with 33-A5 preflop.

After the break for lunch, one of the first hands played was the winning one. Nikita Bodiakovsky’s ace on the flip with QQ-A4 determined first place.

We wish the Belarusian poker player continued success at the high stakes tables and congratulate him on his recent victory.

Nikita Bodiakovsky won $1.1 million in a high roller game of GGpokerok.

Bodiakovsky, Nikita

The amount of action in poker rooms spikes in early November, compared to the slower summer months. In this post, we’ll go over the traffic quirks that RedStar Poker players, both during peak hours and off-peak times, need to be aware of.

RedStar Poker: the most popular poker site in the world

Typical Traits

We investigated the rise of the iPoker network and attempted to identify its causes at the start of this year. Now that traffic numbers are at their peak, it’s a good opportunity to learn the ins and outs of local traffic patterns that will benefit gamers year-round. This includes learning how its skins disperse nighttime gaming activity.

Regular 6-max Hold’em tables provide about 75% of the play on RedStar Poker. The best time to catch them is between 22:00 and 24:00 MSK.

Our analysis of Friday lobby activity shows that there are more tables with three or more players engaged there than on any other day.

We’ll analyze the presentation forms used in this space, including the tables and their constraints.

Holdem

Although full-ring games with fixed-limit and pot-limit betting structures are technically available via the RedStar client, in practice, the number of active tables seldom exceeds two.

At peak times, the following traits characterize 6-max NLH play:

The percentage of hands played at NL10 vs NL50 restrictions is within a range of 25%.

As compared to the bigger stakes games, the micro-limits are not very well attended.

The allure of NL100 is often no more than two times that of NL4. In other roums, the gap often does not decrease below this barrier but rather maintains a degree of superiority that is three to four times that of the cheapest limit.

The three NL200-600 limits get almost the same amount of action.

Short length and a wide variation in the number of active tables with the same stakes over a short time period define play at NL1K and the new higher limits.

Omaha

A little more than 20% of the players in the room play Omaha poker, and Omaha is more popular than Hold’em at all stake levels up to and including PLO200.

Yet, even in November, more than 10 tables on each of them are seldom assembled, so Omaha players at RedStar Poker have to either mix and match limits or multiroute throughout the seasonal traffic fall.

In the autumn, PLO50 is the limit that sees the most action.

Several others.

Three other poker variants have some data gathered.

Rapid Poker (Speed). By 10pm, only NL5 is playable, attracting 40-50 players. The brand-new NL20–100 range has no restrictions set.

Shortdeck. There are always three or four tables that solely play NL4 all night long. There may be as many as ten NL20-50 tables open towards midnight.

“Tables with Heads Up” Often, there are 4-5 active tables “spread out” among 5 limits, ranging from NL20 to NL600.

In the warmer months, competition in these areas essentially disappears.

All-in Cash-Out insurance is standard at the best online poker venues, allowing players to fold without feeling emotionally invested in the outcome. iPoker Network Skins is the latest poker site to provide All-in Cash Out.

In RedStar Poker, what does “All-in Cash Out” mean?

In what ways may I activate the protection plan?

One of the major contributors to player tilt is the presence of variation in poker. Thus, roums employ the insurance option, which allows the player to take away part of the pot according to the equity of his hand regardless of the result of the hand, in order to preserve a “good experience” at their tables.

From February 27th, 2023, all iPoker roulette room users have had access to All-in Cash Out.

This preference is found in the “Table” section of the client’s configuration:

Following that, a dialogue window will pop up with some background on the feature and two toggle switches, “Never” and “By Hand,” for turning it on or off.

This function is exclusive to the Hold’em cash tables, which are denoted by a distinctive emblem in the lobby.

When a player joins an All-in Cash Out table, the following window will appear:

What is the procedure?

In RedStar Poker, if there are just two players in a show, starting on the flop, you may choose All-in Cash Out. The combination of the player who took the insurance may have any odds of winning, which is not the case in other rooms.

Those who have chosen to participate in this feature will be presented with an insurance window if a circumstance arises at the table that qualifies for it.

Following that, the further outcomes are feasible:

When a player makes the decision to cash out, his stack is instantly credited with the sum provided by the room.

To the “Cashout Fund,” or the Room if he wins the hand.

The remaining equity pot is transferred to his opponent if he loses the hand.

If both players choose for insurance, the hand ends when the payoff is distributed.

If neither player cashes out, the agreement continues as before.

Using All-in Cashout will incur a 1% higher commission.

Is it wise to cash out “all-in”?

The answer is a resounding “no,” at least from a purely numerical perspective. Rake will be much more than it would be without insurance. Only someone with Daniel Negreanu’s name would benefit from having more rake.

However there is a case when insurance might be a good idea in the near term.

If you tend to tilt after making a move, you may utilize this function to lessen the emotional impact of variance increases in hands when your hand has a lot of equity (60-70%).

If you have any queries concerning our network rooms, feel free to contact our management.

Chico’s American Network management has taken considerable pains to restructure one of its perks aimed at recreational gamers. By losing with a full house, players at all stakes may now participate in Bad Beat Jackpot 2.0. Read our post to find out more about the new jackpot and all its features.

How much is the Chico Network’s version of the Bad Beat Jackpot?

The new winning pot.

On the Chico Network skins, the Bad Beat Jackpot has been played at normal tables starting with NL$100 for years. Two years ago, a separate Quick Poker Jackpot was introduced to it, however it is only played at NL$10. The original terms have been drastically altered.

The updated Bad Beat Jackpot 2.0 is playable at Tigergaming, BetOnline, and SportsBetting as of March 1, 2023.

The key characteristics are:

Free-of-charge and open-to-all There are normal and Boost Hold’em cash tables available.

Each monetary cap has its own reward pool.

When a complete house of AAA22 results in a loss (previously it was from a four of twos).

At the very least, you’ll need four people to play.

Players must utilize both of their pocket cards in any combination.

In other words, the jackpot will now fall considerably more often, and players of all stakes may participate.

Raffles for money

Each limit is subject to a set deduction from a certain percentage of the total pot. The cap places restrictions on how big it can go.

If the total amount in the pot is less than the jackpot amount, no money will be taken out.

In order to make the given information reflect the actual size of the pot, it is rounded down. Hence, if there is a $47 pot on NL100, for instance, $0.80 will be deducted in order to pay out Bad Beat Jackpot 2.0 awards.

Compensation Disbursement.

The prizes at the top of the deal are awarded as follows if any of the tables have completed the necessary play.

The deal’s loser gets 20% of any proceeds.

The successful party receives a 10% bonus.

10 percent to the other people at the table.

All players at BBJ-limit tables will get a 20% bonus.

To the next jackpot: 35%.

Room tax is 5% of the total.

You may ask our management anything you want to know about playing in these rooms.

The 2022 Global Poker Awards took place on the first Friday of March at the PokerGO studio in Las Vegas, and it was attended by several of the industry’s most prominent figures. In this piece, we will discuss the 27 nominees who we felt were the most fascinating.

The 2022 World Series of Poker (WSOPC) Final Table

Most Valuable Player

As opposed to previous year, no one was able to take home three awards at once (two could take Ethan “Rampage” Yau: as the best vlogger and “Poker Personality of the Year”).

Among the initial nominees for “GPI Poker Player of the Year” were several relatively unknown Eastern hemisphere players who, according to The Hendon Mob, had the greatest outcomes in live events based on a predetermined set of criteria.

Stephen Song triumphed despite intense rivalry; ten other players were in the running for the position until the conclusion of the year. The young American won 43 times that year, for a total of $2,282,059. In December, he won the $1,100 WPT Premier Championship, beating out 5,430 competitors to take home $712,650.

In 2022, Cherish Andrews took in $758,513, more than double her previous career’s earnings. The majority of the sum came from three diprana totaling $78,045, $131,912, and $259,200. As for the most recent one, it was a WPT tournament for $10,000.

The Biggest Fail of the Year

Players who made their way into the top tier of the GPI Player of the Year rankings this year but who had not been eligible to do so in the previous three years were placed in this new category. Phil Ivey, the great poker player, won three times while playing in the highest stakes games and was the owner of this chip.

In Cyprus, a $75K Short Deck tournament at Triton Poker netted $1.2M.

Six hundred and forty thousand dollars for the $50,000 PGT Super High Roller Series Europe.

The $30K Short Deck tournament at the Triton Poker Club in Cyprus brought in $387K.

Top Card

Robbie Jade-Lew and Garrett Adelstein played a scandalous hand in which Jade-Lew called with jack high and won $130,000.

In the immediate aftermath of the hand, both poker players were accused of cheating and collaboration, which the Hustler Casino Live organizers investigated but could never establish.

The most formidable adversary.

Stephen Chidwick deservedly won the player vote and took home the trophy. The Englishman has switched to playing primarily in high-stakes events, and in 2022 he won the PokerGO Tour Player of the Year title. His opponents there felt his relentless might.

Throughout the previous 12 months, he has finished in the money at 42 separate events. He won about $3 million in two of the Triton Poker Series in Madrid.

Top Performance at the Final Table

In the final table of the $50,000 Poker Players Championship, one of the most prestigious mix events of the World Series, you must play flawlessly across many poker games. It’s quite unlikely that you could succeed twice in a row.

But, the winner of this category, Daniel Cates, was successful in doing just that.

Film of the Year

Hayley Hochstetler is the photographer for this. When Matt Glantz selected the envelope containing the largest prize from the $1K Million Dollar Bounty at the WSOP, Justin Lett was there to film the moment.

The million-dollar envelope, ironically, was stored in the first treasure box.
