Barry Greenstein hasn’t had the best of it by the looks of it as his chips are now stacked in single chip piles. He still has a few T5000 chips so he’s not in the danger zone just yet had we watched him take down a couple of pots by raising and continuation betting in late position. SOm erepair work to do though.
The Skrill Last Longer competition has been being held at each stop on this season’s EPT, of which they’re an official sponsor. The promotion is simple – players sign up for the promotion either online (preregistration is available) or at the Skrill booth (which will be present at each stop); don a Skrill patch; and then aim to be the last man or woman standing. The last player remaining will then receive their buy-in back via their Skrill account.
It's the last stop of Season 10, and that means it's the last Skill Last Longer competition of the season. Yesterday, 214 players took their shot at poker glory on Day 1a, and of them 31 players participated in the contest, which was 14% of the field. Day 1b has attracted even more players, and they have the chance to sign up through the dinner break. Once registration is closed, we'll be sure to let you know how many "Skrillees" are competing.
While Skrill upped the ante for Season 10 with a bigger branding initiative, it wasn't their first appearance on the EPT; as a matter of fact, they were a sponsor of Season 8 and have held previous “Last Longer” promotions.
