"andremylov" Wins The Weekender Final Day for $14,846 in Total Prizes

The Weekender Final Day is now over, and "andremylov" bested the field of 146 to put $14,846 in the bank in total. That field size didn't quite hit the guarantee, so they were playing for the $100,000 guarantee.

"andremylov" led for much of the final table, and didn't really see any danger spots. "Wizavo" took the second place spot for $8,278 in total prizes.

Formula 1 Driver Daniel Ricciardo Knows When to Pit

partypoker Partners with McLaren Racing to Help Players "Know When to Pit"

McLaren Racing driver Daniel Ricciardo knows what it's like to operate at peak performance. Both he and his car need to operate at the outer limits of their ability on race day to stand a chance of winning, or even making it to the end of the race. But he also understands that being at your peak means being in control.

At the poker tables, players don't need to worry about spinning off the track into the wall from a momentary lapse of concentration, or a tire blowout at 200 kph because they didn't pull into the pits. But every poker player has experienced some proverbial version of those when they lose control and don't know when to take a break to fix the machinery.

"Only when we're in control are we in charge of our own race," Ricciardo said in a recent video. "It's sometimes important to hold back, take a break and take stock. It's important to know when it's time to pit."

Gambling and Auto-racing have a lot in common as McLaren Driver Ricciardo explains
