Another Classic moment in Madrid?


We're all heading for dinner here in Madrid and my stomach for one is grumbling with anticipation at the prospect of yet more Casino Gran Madrid cuisine.

I'm wondering whether the 217 remaining players can sit round a table together without a deck of cards... guess I'm about to find out!

One man sitting comfortably on the back of a recent victory in the WPT LA Classic is Andra Koroknai of Hungary. The well-respected card player revealed a few secrets after a decent session so far.

"The table is quite comfortable because I’ve been able to pull off some bluffs," he explained, "I was able to three-bet in position with good effect.

"I didn’t have to go to a single showdown which is really positive because my table image is quite mysterious, but there is one German player I need to keep my eye on.

"He knows me from previous games but he’s on my right so that should be ok. He’s the most dangerous player at the table because the others aren’t as experienced.

"I have a few chips so I’ll keep playing solid poker until the antes come into effect. Then it comes down to good bet sizing, raising more often pre-flop and trying to make sure I take down those raised pots."

Solid advice indeed, but will we see a repeat of his WPT success this weekend?
