Sandra Barbour

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

With the news that the Power Path is now a permanent addition to PokerStars, and that players can receive a $0.50 Step 1 Power Path ticket every single day as part of the new PokerStars Rewards program, there's never been a better time to have a look at how the Power Path can reward you and where it can take you.

Both live and online events have featured in the Power Path since its launch last summer, with Special Edition Gold Passes sending lucky players to the NAPT and Las Vegas Grand Prix last December.

This month, we look at the various Passes on offer, including both Gold and Silver Passes for the NAPT festival in Las Vegas, the Women's Winter Festival and the European Poker Tour stop in Prague.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Nikita Kuznetsov opened to 3,000 from the cutoff, and was faced with a three-bet to 11,500 by Timur Muxamedaminov in the small blind. Kuznetsov called.

On the A♦Q♣3♠ flop, Muxamedaminov continued with a bet of 6,000, and Kuznetsov stuck around for the turn, which came the 9♠ and was checked through.

On the 8♥ river, Muxamedaminov checked once more. Kuznetsov fired out a bet of 37,000, almost pot, and his opponent, who had about 65,000 left behind, went deep into the tank.

After about two minutes, he tapped the table and mucked his cards, sending a decent pot to Kuznetsov.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

It was an all-too-familiar coinflip which saw Mazerolle take the lead on the A♠2♣6♥ flop. No ten arrived on the 7♠5♥ runout, and Mazerolle earned himself a double-up.
