PokerStars Revamps Power Path With New $530 Bronze Pass

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
PokerStars Power Path
PokerStars Power Path

PokerStars has rolled out a major update to its Power Path qualification system, introducing a brand-new $530 Bronze Power Pass as part of a restructure designed to smooth out progression between buy-in levels.

The changes, which came into effect on April 27, leave the upper echelons of Power Path unchanged with the $10,300 Gold Pass and $2,500 Silver Pass both remaining in place, while the main adjustments come further down the ladder, where PokerStars has reshaped its Bronze tier and added a new entry point for lower-stakes players.

Ladies Not Enough for Laihinen

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Scott Wellenbach: AA All in
Pasi Laihinen: QQ

Wellenbach improved his aces to top set on the A river, doubling up in style.

Mustafov Falls for Trap

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Fahredin Mustafov
Fahredin Mustafov

In a pot worth 6,500, Almira Skripchenko checked the K86 flop from under the gun to Fahredin Mustafov in the next seat over. Mustafov flicked in a bet of 2,400, which Skripchenko raised to 6,400.

Mustafov called to the 3 turn, where Skripchenko reverted to checking. Mustafov inquired about Skripchenko's remaining chips before he put her all-in for 12,000. Skripchenko wasted no time and snap-called.

Almira Skripchenko: A7 All in
Fahredin Mustafov: AJ

Mustafov was drawing dead against the nut flush of Skripchenko, and she was awarded her double-up when the inconsequential Q river completed the board.

Jeremie Zouari: 1010 All in
Dominykas Karmazinas : AA

Sacchi Nearing Double Start

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Seeing the complete board of 5J698, Daniele Sacchi fired a pot-sized bet of 17,500 from middle position. Julien Vecchioli went deep into the tank on the button, eventually electing to call off.

Sacchi showed 97 for a rivered straight. Vecchioli shook his head as he saw the majority of his stack shipped to his opponent, being left with just under four big blinds.

Parmar Keeps Adding to Massive Stack

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Taran Parmar
Taran Parmar

Taran Parmar limped in under the gun. It folded to Abdullah Turan in the small blind, who upped it to 1,400. Fabiano Cappelli called in the big blind, and Parmar tossed in calling chips as well.

Turan then fired a bet of 3,300 on the 1036 flop. Cappelli quickly folded, but Parmar called to stick around. Turan's bet of 5,200 on the 7 turn did not shake Parmar either, as the latter called to see the 8 river.

Turan completed his triple barrel with a bet of 5,400. Parmar quickly made the minimum raise to 10,800, and Turan called to showdown.

Parmar tabled 109 for a rivered straight, and Turan sent his cards into the muck in defeat.
