Charder's Amazing Run[ return to main articles page ]
Christian Harder was a relatively unknown player in mid 2007, but that all changed when he took down the Full Tilt Poker $1k Monday for $80,000. He subsequently won a $100 rebuy tournament on PokerStars for another $34,000.
In January of this year, he participated in his very first major live tournament - the 2008 PokerStars Caribbean Adventure. The result was a final table appearance worth $200,000. But Christian's incredible run did not end there... he subsequently final tabled the EPT Dortmund Main Event for another $142,000. In this week's interview, Christian talks about his tournament success and answers listener questions.
Our second guest is Jim Evering of NevadaJacks.net, a leading high-quality poker chip manufacturer. Jim gives advice on how to care for poker chips, describes the difference between ceramic and clay chips, and tells us he's ready to offer special promotional deals to P5'ers interested in making purchases.

@xtremepedro01 I actually think it'll be under 400 & can forsee problems for late comers being blinded off 'cause they changed the format

2013-05-17 22:17:10
@RandALLin @PokerStars ya makes me think I should just take tomorrow off & rest up
KevinMacPhee
2013-05-17 22:16:19
@xtremepedro01 ok so I get some odds that its 400 ? gimme $200 to my $100 and its booked
KevinMacPhee
2013-05-17 22:11:59
@xtremepedro01 sidebets on how many runners it gets? I'll take the under on 500

@SpaceyFCB @PokerStars if I didn't know they changed the format I could have ez showed up late & blinded out of a 3 handed game not ring
KevinMacPhee
2013-05-17 22:04:34
@SpaceyFCB @PokerStars ya that would work... guess I'm just annoyed that I reg'ed for something weeks ago & they change the format

@KevinMacPhee @PokerStars I don't even think it's a 2 day event. Having to play 4 rounds would affect my sleep for Sundays probably too.

2013-05-17 21:59:33
@SpaceyFCB @PokerStars so a mix-max shootout? not a 10 handed shootout as advertised? seems like a good idea for a format tho..

@PakmanMMA the shootout format is the purest format.. no ICM & adapting 9 handed to sh to HU... starting 3-4 handed tbl 1 feels like mix max
KevinMacPhee
2013-05-17 21:45:35
@RandALLin @PokerStars seems that way to me... assuming it gets 300-400 ppl... would be LOL if it gets 200-300 & some tables are HU matches
