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.

Much love and solidarity to all the UK's communities. Shame so much prejudice and ill-judged rhetoric emerges in response to these outrages.

Buycott - best phone app ever. Scan the bar code of any product and find out if your money is going to the Koch Brothers or GMOS, etc.
