    In only 13 days Elky accumulated 100,000 VPP points and well over 200,000 FPP. He is the first on ps. HE just finished his insane last marathon session to complete the job. Amazing effort!!

    I'm curious if PS has an extra award for the first one :) ..

    This schedule of play is 2 porsches a year haha.

    All I have to say is WOW!!!

    Congrats to him, that is insane! A real accomplishment! Now, I wonder what he was playing to rack up so many FPPs o.o

    100-150 200$ turbo's a day including a lot of 200$ HU to fill the gaps in his screen. Mixed in some 500$ sng's as well and shorthanded ring when it was less crowded.

    Last session consisted of 27 hours straight 8 turbo's at a time.

    sounds like multiple players on his acct.

    I do hope stars doesnt think of that as cheating the VPP/FPP system.

    Im not implying that I would go out and bring it to stars attention

    I was watching the $215 turbos for a couple days and it seemed like he was in every one of them. And he seemed to be doing well. Who is this guy? Is he someone we all know (ZeeJustin maybe?) and playing under a secret account name?

    Dunno if it was sarcasm but ElkY is ElkY, the ex-StarCraft pro, Bertrand Grospellier or something like that... I surely butchered the shit out of his name, but I remember him from when I used to play SC a lot.

    How would that be "cheating" the system? stars is getting thousands and thousands in rake from him. They WANT him to play as much as possible to give them money.

    Its all a bunch of crap...these starcraft sickos should be disqualified from the promotion. Rainkhan, Elky,,,all of these guys.....they all have 3 hands, 18 fingers, and can play with their feet as well.

    thats uh... pretty impressive

    ive been 6-8 tabling the 100-200 turbos for probably 3-4 hrs a day or so and i only have 15k vpp

    seems like every game i played, he was in it. im curious how much hes up... he was playing really poorly for a while yesterday though he's normally one of the stronger turbo players. i probably wouldve gone insane too had i been 8 tabling for 20 hrs straight

    and its not like playing a ton is something stars would be pissed about, even if multiple people were playing the account. they are stilling getting 60%+ of the rake he pays even with supernova status. he's paid them over $15k in the past 2 weeks........

    Ok I did some math and this is fockin sick. To make Supernova you have to get 100k in VIP points which equals to 20k in rake. Lets say he only plays the $210+$15 turbos. He would have to play 1334 SnGs to reach Supernova. If he had a 5% ROI through those sngs he would make $15k in 13 days.

    It WOULDNT be cheating anyway because when the el capitano situation occured pokerstars clearly stated that they had no way of knowing about multiple users on one account nor was it agaiinst their policy.
