Me ka emi iho o ka mahina a hiki i ka hoʻomaka 'ana o ka European Poker Tour (EPT) o keia makahiki ma Palika, PokerNews kamailio me Cedric Billot, Luna Hoomalu o Live Events Operations ma PokerStars, e kūkākūkā mea pâʻani pôpeku no PokerStars Live Events a me ka EPT ma 2024. .
Ua nīnau pū mākou iā ia e pili ana i kahi huakaʻi hou, nā manaʻolana o nā mea pāʻani no ka papa hana like ma 2023 a me nā hoʻomaikaʻi e hana ʻia i ka wā e hoʻi ai ka huakaʻi i Paris ma hope o ke kala ʻana no kahi "ʻike maikaʻi ʻole" i ka hanana hoʻomaka.
Ma hope o 2004-2005, ua kipa ka EPT i Barcelona, London, Monte Carlo a me Copenhagen - ʻehā wale nō o nā pae ʻehiku o ka manawa mua.
Akā hiki iā ia ke komo iā Paris.Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Billo ua makemake ʻo PokerStars e hoʻokipa i ka EPT ma Palika mai ka manawa hoʻokahi, akā ua pale nā lula.ʻO ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, he moʻolelo koʻikoʻi ka poker ma Palisa, akā paʻakikī kēia moʻolelo e ke komo ʻana o ke aupuni a me nā mākaʻi.
Ma hope mai, ua pau loa ka poker ma ke kapikala Farani: i ka makahiki 2010, ua pani nā "cercles" kaulana a i ʻole nā hui pāʻani e like me Air France Club a me Clichy Montmartre i ko lākou mau puka.Eia nō naʻe, ma 2022, ua hoʻolaha ka EPT e hoʻopaʻa i kāna hanana mua ma 2023 ma ka Hyatt Regency Etoile ma Palisa.
Ua lilo ʻo Paris i 13th European capital e hoʻokipa i ka European Poker Tour.ʻEhia hiki iā ʻoe ke inoa?Aia ka pane ma lalo o ka ʻatikala!
ʻOiai ʻo Bilot ka pelekikena o ka FPS ma 2014 i ka manawa i hoʻoholo ʻia e kāpae ʻia ka hanana, ma 2023 ʻo ia ke alakaʻi i ka ʻaha EPT holoʻokoʻa a ʻōlelo ʻo ia he mea nui nā mea pāʻani Farani i ka EPT holoʻokoʻa.
"I ka manawa i loaʻa ai ka manawa kūpono, hele mākou i Paris," i haʻi aku ai ʻo ia iā PokerNews."I kēlā me kēia hanana EPT, ʻo nā mea pāʻani Farani ko mākou helu hoʻokahi.Mai Prague a hiki i Barcelona a me Lākana, ʻoi aku ka nui o nā mea pāʻani Farani ma mua o nā mea pāʻani Pelekane!
ʻO ka hanana hoʻomaka ʻo EPT Paris ʻaʻole me kāna mau drawbacks, me ka nui o nā mea pāʻani e alakaʻi ana i kahi hemahema o nā wahi a me kahi ʻōnaehana hoʻopaʻa inoa paʻakikī e hoʻopiʻi hou i nā mea.No ka hoʻoponopono ʻana i kēia mau pilikia, ua alakaʻi ʻo PokerStars i kahi loiloi kūpono a me ka nānā ʻana o ka wahi a ua hana pū me Club Barriere e hana i kekahi mau hoʻonā.
"Ua ʻike mākou i nā helu nui i ka makahiki i hala a he hopena ia," wahi a Bilott."Akā ʻo ka pilikia ʻaʻole wale ka helu o nā mea pāʻani.ʻO ke komo ʻana a me ke komo ʻana i ka pūnaewele ma hope o ka hale he moeʻuhane weliweli.
"I ka makahiki i hala aku nei he mau hoʻoponopono pōkole a ma hope o ka pule ʻelua ua hoʻomaikaʻi mākou i ke kaʻina hana a ua maʻalahi.Akā ʻike maopopo mākou pono mākou e hana i nā loli [ma 2024].
ʻO ka hopena, ua neʻe ka ʻahaʻaina i kahi wahi hou loa - ʻo ka Palais des Congrès, kahi kikowaena hālāwai kūkā hou i ke kikowaena o ke kūlanakauhale.Hiki i kahi lumi nui ke hoʻokomo i nā papaʻaina hou aʻe a me nā wahi maʻamau, a e hōʻoia i ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana a me ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana i ka wikiwiki.
Eia naʻe, ke hoʻopukapuka nei ʻo PokerStars ma mua o ka wahi EPT hou.Me ka hoʻonui nui ʻana i ka pono pāʻani, ua hoʻonui ʻo PokerStars i kāna hoʻopukapuka i ka palekana o kāna mau pāʻani.Ua hoʻokomo ʻia nā kiʻi kiʻi CCTV hou e nānā i ka hana ma kēlā me kēia papaʻaina (ʻo ia wale nō ka mea hoʻohana i ke kahawai ola e hana pēlā), me ka manaʻo e hana i ka hanana me ka palekana.
"Haʻaheo mākou iā mākou iho i ka palekana kino a me ka pololei o nā pāʻani ma ko mākou mau wahi āpau," wahi a Bilott.“ʻO ia ke kumu i kūʻai ai mākou i nā kāmeʻa kiʻi hou e kōkua iā mākou e mālama i kēia pae palekana.Loaʻa i kēlā me kēia pākaukau EPT kāna kāmela CCTV ponoʻī.
"Ua ʻike mākou i kā mākou mea pāʻani e hoʻolilo i ka pāʻani palekana, a ʻike pū mākou e hana ikaika ʻo PokerStars Live e hōʻoia i ka palekana o kā mākou pāʻani.No ka mālama ʻana i kēia hilinaʻi ma waena o nā mea pāʻani a me nā mea hoʻokele, pono mākou e hoʻomau i ka hoʻomaikaʻi a me ka hoʻopukapuka.He pilikia hoʻopukapuka koʻikoʻi kēia..
"Hiki iā mākou ke nānā i kēlā me kēia lima, kēlā me kēia pāʻani, kēlā me kēia pāʻani chip.ʻO ka mea mua, loaʻa iā ia nā hiʻohiʻona palekana, akā maikaʻi ka maikaʻi o nā mea hana i ka wā e hiki mai ana e hiki iā mākou ke hoʻolaha mai kēia mau kāmera.
Ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia ka papa hana 2024 EPT i Nowemapa a loaʻa nā kūlana ʻelima e like me ka papa hana 2023.Ua haʻi aku ʻo Billot iā PokerNews he maʻalahi ke kumu o ka papa hana hou, akā ua ʻae ʻo ia ua wehe ʻo ia i ka manaʻo e hoʻohui i nā pūnaewele hou aku i nā makahiki e hiki mai ana.
"Inā ʻaʻole i haki kekahi mea, no ke aha ʻoe e hoʻololi ai?"- wahi āna."Inā hiki iā mākou ke hoʻomaikaʻi a hāʻawi i kahi mea ʻē aʻe no kā mākou mea pāʻani, e hana mākou."
Eia nō naʻe, ʻōlelo ʻo Bilott he "palū" nā wahi āpau ma ka papa EPT o kēia makahiki a no nā kumu like ʻole.
"ʻIke loa ua ikaika loa ʻo Paris i ka makahiki i hala a ke kakali nei mākou e hoʻi mai.He wahi ikaika loa ʻo Monte Carlo no nā kumu like ʻole: he kiʻekiʻe o ka glitz a me ka nani ʻaʻole hiki iā mākou ke loaʻa ma kahi ʻē aʻe.
"Barcelona - ʻaʻole pono e wehewehe.Hāʻawi ʻia i ka hanana nui hoʻopaʻa moʻolelo ʻo Estrelas, e pupule mākou ʻaʻole e hoʻi i Barcelona.ʻO ka hanana nui ma Prague a me Eureka hoʻi i hoʻopaʻa i nā hanana haʻihaʻi a hauʻoli nā mea a pau i ka hoʻomaha 12 o ka mahina.
ʻAʻole ʻo Paris wale nō ka pani no ka 2023 EPT hoʻomaka.Ua kaulana loa ʻo Cyprus ma waena o nā mea pāʻani.
"ʻO kēia kekahi o nā manaʻo pāʻani maikaʻi loa i loaʻa iā mākou," wahi a Bilott."Aloha nui nā mea pāʻani iā Cyprus!Ua loaʻa iā mākou nā hopena kupaianaha ma nā hoʻokūkū kūʻai haʻahaʻa, kūʻai nui a me Main Event a loaʻa iā mākou ka ʻike maikaʻi loa.No laila ua maʻalahi ka hoʻoholo e hoʻi mai. "
No laila, e mau ana nā pani i ka makahiki 2023, akā ua wehe ʻia ka puka no nā wahi hou e hoʻohui ʻia i ka papa kuhikuhi no 2025 a ma waho.
“E nānā i nā haʻuki ʻē aʻe.Aia kekahi mau pani ma ka ATP Tennis Tour ʻaʻole e loli, aʻo kekahi e hele mai a hele.Hele ka Formula 1 i nā wahi hou, e like me ia ma Las Vegas i ka makahiki i hala, akā aia nā pāʻani e like mau.
“ʻAʻohe mea i kau ʻia ma ka pōhaku.Ke ʻimi mau nei mākou i nā wahi hou a mākou e manaʻo ai he kaulana.Ua nānā mākou iā Kelemānia a me Netherlands a hoʻi hou i Ladana i kekahi lā.ʻO ia kahi mea a mākou e nānā nei i ka makahiki aʻe.
Hāʻawi ʻo PokerStars i nā hoʻokūkū ola i manaʻo ʻia e nā poʻe he ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka ʻoihana, ʻaʻole wale ma ke ʻano o ke koho ʻana i nā hanana, nā kūʻai-in a me nā wahi e hele ai, akā ma ke ʻano o ka ʻike mea pāʻani i hāʻawi ʻia i ka wā o ka hanana.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Billot ma muli o ka "perfectionist mentality" a ke hoʻomaikaʻi mau nei ʻo PokerStars.Mai ka hoʻomaka ʻana o Power Path a hiki i ka hoʻoholo hou e ʻae i nā mea pāʻani e loaʻa nā wahi i nā hanana kūloko.
"Me kahi hui nui o nā hoa hana akamai, hiki iā mākou ke hoʻoikaika no ka maikaʻi.Makemake mākou e ʻālohilohi ka EPT.
"Makemake mākou e ʻoi aku ka makemake nui me kā mākou mau hanana a manaʻo mākou e hoʻonui iā lākou a hāʻawi i kahi ʻike ola maikaʻi."
"ʻO ia ke kumu he mea nui ka loaʻa ʻana o ke kaulike a me ke kaulike, manaʻo wau he 4-6 mau hoʻokūkū hoʻokūkū i ka makahiki.ʻO nā hoʻokūkū hou aʻe he kuhi hewa a e hakakā mākou me nā hoʻokūkū ʻē aʻe.ʻO ka mea nui ʻo ia ka manawa kūpono e kūkulu ai a loaʻa ka ʻike..”Hoʻolaha i kēlā me kēia o kā mākou hanana ola.
"ʻO kahi mea e wehewehe ai i kā mākou hoʻolālā a me kā mākou ʻike ʻo ia ka nānā ʻana i ka maikaʻi ma mua o ka nui.Makemake mākou e ʻoi aku ka manaʻo nui me kā mākou mau hanana a manaʻo e hoʻonui iā lākou a hāʻawi i kahi ʻike maikaʻi aʻe ma ka honua.ʻOi aku ka manawa e hoʻokō ai, ʻoi aku ka manawa e hoʻolaha i ka hanana a ʻoi aku ka manawa e hana maoli i kahi buzz a puni ia.
ʻOiai ʻo ka maʻi maʻi coronavirus i lawe i ka hiʻohiʻona, ua ʻae ʻo Billo ua kōkua ia i ka hoʻololi ʻana i nā ʻano o ka poʻe a, ma muli o ka hopena, ua kōkua maoli i ka poker ola holoʻokoʻa.ʻO ka hopena, ua ulu nui ka poker ola i 2023 a ke manaʻo ʻia e hoʻomau i kona hoʻihoʻi ʻana i 2024 a ma waho.
"Ua paʻa ka honua i ʻelua mau makahiki, paʻa i nā kelepona a me nā televise.Manaʻo wau ua kōkua i ka poʻe e mahalo a hauʻoli i nā mea a pau i hana ʻia ma ke kino no ka mea aia kekahi pae o ka pilina a me ka launa pū ʻana.A ua pōmaikaʻi nui ka poker ola iā lākou.
Ua uhaʻi pū ka poker ʻEulopa i nā moʻolelo he nui, me ka moʻolelo no ka hoʻokūkū ola PokerStars nui loa i ka wā i lanakila ai ʻo Lucien Cohen i ka Estrellas Barcelona Main Event no €676,230.ʻAʻole kēia ʻo ka hoʻokūkū kūloko wale nō i wāwahi i nā moʻolelo: ua haki ʻelua ka moʻolelo FPS no ka hanana nui loa, a ua hoʻopau ka Eureka Prague Main Event i ka makahiki me kahi moʻolelo ʻē aʻe.
*Ua haki ʻo FPS Paris i ka moʻolelo FPS a Monte-Carlo i ka makahiki 2022. Ua haki hou ʻo FPS Monte-Carlo i ka moʻolelo ma hope o ʻelua mahina
Ua hoʻokomo pū ka EPT Main Event i nā helu hele nui, me Prague e hoʻonohonoho ana i ka helu kiʻekiʻe o ka EPT Main Event kiʻekiʻe, ʻo Paris ka mea nui loa o ka EPT Main Event ma waho o Barcelona, a ʻo Barcelona e hoʻomau ana i kona noho aliʻi ʻana me ke kūlana kiʻekiʻe ʻelua o ka EPT Main Event.
Ua kapa ʻo Billott i ka manaʻo o kahi boom poker ola hou "naive" akā ua ʻae ʻo ia e ulu nui.
"Ua ʻoi aku ka kiʻekiʻe o ka hoihoi i ka poker ola i kēia manawa ma mua o ka maʻi maʻi.ʻAʻole wau e ʻōlelo ua piʻi mākou, akā ʻaʻole mākou e pāpālua i kā mākou helu mai ka makahiki i hala.Manaʻo ʻo PokerStars e hoʻomau i ka noho ma luna..”E piʻi aʻe kēia helu, akā inā mākou e hana i kā mākou hana.
“Makemake ka lehulehu i ka poker ola – ʻo ia ka ʻike maikaʻi loa e nānā ai no ka mea ma laila e loaʻa ai ke kālā nui.No ka lanakila ʻana i $1 miliona ma ka pūnaewele, loaʻa iā ʻoe nā manawa he nui i kēlā me kēia makahiki.No ka ho'āʻo e lanakila i $1 miliona ola, loaʻa iā ʻoe he 20 mau manawa hou aʻe.
"I kēia makahiki kamepiula kahi e hoʻonui ai mākou i ka manawa ma nā polokalamu kelepona a me nā pale, manaʻo wau e palekana ka poker ola no ka manawa lōʻihi."
