Friday night was party night at the Sochi Casino and Resort as the PokerStars and Playboy Player's Party.
The evening's entertainment kicked off at 9 p.m. with a drinks reception and a Casino Lottery where free prizes were handed out to a few lucky players.
At 10 p.m. the Playboy Bunnies came out in force to pose for photographs with dozens of admirers who were soon bragging to their friends on social media. The bunnies smiled for the cameras for over an hour and then mingled at the party, dancing and even taking to the decks to bang out a few club classics.
At 11 p.m Alekseev performed a 45-minnute set to his many admiring female fans who were hanging on his every word and singing along to his hits. He may not be a famous in the west but Alekseev is a a huge star in Russia where his song, “Drunken Sun” topped the charts and has over 30 million views on YouTube.
The drinking and dancing continued into the small hours of Saturday morning for what was definitely the most lavish and one of the more memorable PokerStars player’s parties for a long time.

Level 18
: 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Vladimir Troyanovskiy has been moved to another table so his battle with Andrey Kotelnikov has been brought to a halt for now, but he has lost a ton of chips recently and if he wants to do battle again he has some rebuilding to do.
Armen “Three Cards” Atanesyan on the other hand is hanging in there after his scare on the bubble, no doubt meticulously ensuring he has just the two cards for a Hold ‘Em hand.
