What’s up?
As you may have noticed, we moved the blog from blogger.com to here, our official “High Stakes Poker Report”- site, www.highstakesreport.com. This move helps us really much and will make it easier for everyone to read what has been posted. Now it’s a lot of easier to find blog entries, articles, interviews, tournaments etc.
The content on this site will increase seriously, as we start to do regular interviews and get some professional players to do us a few articles. We will start the freerolls & other tournaments soon too. Oh, there will be some interesting poker videos also, we’re planning something great for them and if it works, the readers are having a great time.
Well the bottom line is that you’ll surely hear from these new features in future. Now back to the meaning of this site – High Stakes Poker Reports.

WSOP has been literally killing the action. Prima is the only one who tries to hand in there, oh and Ram Vaswani too of course.
Prima NL $100/$200 biocid ($10,000) vs. Laaur2 ($30,000).
Laaur2 raised for $300
biocid called for $200
the Flop(7c 4h 2d )
biocid checked
Laaur2 bet for $584
biocid raised for $1,444
Laaur2 called for $860
the turn(Ad )
biocid checked
Laaur2 bet for $2,000
biocid called for $2,000
the river(Ac )
biocid checked
Laaur2 bet for $6,547
biocid went all-in for $5,820.42
Extra chips returned to Laaur2, $726.58
biocid shows Two Pair, Aces over Sevens (Ad Ac 7c 7h 5c )
Laaur2 shows a Full House, Fours full of Aces (4h 4d 4s Ad Ac )
Laaur2 wins $19,327.84 with a Full House, Fours full of Aces
After that biocid reloads for $20,000, but;
Laaur2> brb smoke
biocid> lol
biocid> u gonna play or not lauur?
biocid> ok bye then
So that was it, we had a little game and it was taken away! The interesting part in this game was that I’m going to interview both of them. Actually, biocid’s interview is done already, and Laaur2 has agreed to do it.

Ram Vaswani was -again- playing $1000/$2000 Limit Omaha Hi/Lo, and -again- with Luigi66369. When I got there Ram had $150,000 and Luigi had $20,000. Well Ram cleared those $20k and Luigi reloads. This was a good move, because he got most of his cash back, leaving Ram with only $114,000 (Ram started with $100,000) and that’s basically nothing for them.
—————————-
Expect biocid’s interview tomorrow, he plays usually $50/$100 or $100/$200 NL on Prima, pretty interesting read. And hopefully we could see some Prima $200/$400 action tomorrow, so I can have the perfect hand-histories.
…Later.

Good thing we can now comment without registering and give you some info on high stakes games you’ve missed.There was one last week where K_B had 200k on Prima(not the one you had blogged) against somebody i already forgot.Keep doing the blog,thumbs up.
Lovely idea for a blog / site! I immediately bookmarked it.
I thought I should chip in with the answer to a question you had in an earlier posting: who’s the high-stakes online player behind the nick “NotSoFunNow”? That’s rather well known to be Tore Lagerborg, a high-stakes Limit Texas Hold’em player from Norway. Reportedly a good friend of Norwegian high-stakes *No-Limit* player Johnny Lodden (aka bad_ip, 410, Lars-Magne), BTW.
I believe you can search up this information a the forums of the 2+2 publishing house.
An interesting recent story about Lagerborg: he was in Las Vegas for the WSoP, but after dropping ~$500k on online poker and live side games in Vegas before the Main Event started, he decided to get out of town and take a flight back to Norway instead. He had already paid the $10k entrance free to the Main Event, but his seat was empty, and he was just blinded out, according to reports on a Norwegian poker blog run by Expekt.com affiliates.
