3: Barrels – partypoker Grand Prix news; satty news, and award news

3: Barrels of a partypoker flavour including the results of the partypoker Grand Prix Canada; a change in online satellite rules, and a trio of ambassadors seeking Spirit of Poker awards.

A finance student, who plays cash games in his spare time, has won the partypoker Grand Prix Canada for CAD$200,000 ($157,338). The CAD$200 buy-in event attracted a whopping 3,746 entrants, but that wasn’t enough for the event to match its CAD$1m guarantee, falling short by CAD$31,200.

It’s because of the overlay that Raphael Duval entered the tournament, and it turned out to be a smart decision. Duval was a dominant force at the final table, gathering chips like limp-dicked old men gather viagra, entering the heads-up phase against Debra Ann Holman with a 6:1 chip advantage.

The victory also earned Duval an additional $1,000 entry to an online event with a $10,000 partypoker Caribbean Poker Party (CPP) package in the offing, courtesy of wearing a CPP patch, and winning the last longer promotion.
