Wretchy's Pwnage moves to FullTilt

Seemingly tired of winning the $100 rebuy tournaments on Pokerstars, Dan "Wretchy" Martin moved over to FullTiltPoker to win the $22 rebuy last night. The tournament field consisted of 404 players and Wretchy won $5,870.00 for taking down first place.

It has been an impressive week on the virtual felt for The Wretched One who is currently ranked as the 19th best online tournament player in the world at pocketfives.com. A win in an FTOPS event would be a great addition, as would a victory in another triple crown event would be a great way to cap an awesome week.

Great job sir and continued success!

Pokerstars needs to run more $100 rebuys says Wretchy

May 3, 2009 saw Wretchy dominate some of the largest no limit hold em tournaments on the web, the $100 rebuy tournaments on PokerStars. In the first $109r, $300,000 guaranteed, Wretchy finished second after getting heads up for the title. There has been a lot of discussion in the poker forums about the chop talk after Wretchy and Mogilni were the final two. There is a lot of dispute regarding the Stars chop procedure and whether chat chop talk is binding without support present and whether the faillure to sit out voids any agreement to chop. Wretchy earned bringing in $52986.15 for finishing 2nd out of 1089 entrants. If you would like to read more about the controversy, you can read more at pocketfives.com and twoplustwo.com. Also, here is a thread by Wretchy explaining his point of view at P5s.

Wretchy bounced back from the set back to win the late PokerStars $109+R NL Hold'em tournament, $150,000 guaranteed, on 05-03-2009. Wretchy won $36518.00 for beating 539 other entrants.

Congrats Wretchy. Great play sir!

Congrats to Chaz
