The Summer of Champions: Team Pokercode Dominate

Adam Johnson
Community Success Manager

It’s been a long summer in the poker world with the spotlight constantly moving from player to player. At Pokercode, that’s the usual trend as we have so many talented players making their way through the ranks. Since May, our community has been dominating the online and live felt and we want to share their successes with you. Without further ado, meet our Summer of Champions: 

June ☀️

Fabian Niederreiter - First WSOP Deep Run of the Series 

The prestigious WSOP Series was already a few weeks in and Pokercode was represented in big numbers across the pond. One of those was Fabian Niederreiter, Grindhouse 3 participant and member of s00n. He just fell short of the final table in the $3k 6-Max, collecting $74k for his efforts. It’s just a matter of time before a big title falls Fabi’s way. 

July 😍

Stefan & Seb - Just Fall Short of WSOP Main Event Final Table 

We all remember the incredible runs from our Pokercode members in the WSOP Main Event. We had numerous players in the money and hoped to make history by reaching the final table of the Main Event, but sadly Stefan Nemetz and Sebastian Schulze fell just short. Finishing 23rd and 21st for $360k a piece, it was a monumental effort from the guys to run that deep and they played incredibly well for seven days to reach that point. 

Sadly, it wasn’t meant to be this time around for the past Grindhouse participants, but they gave everyone at Pokercode something to cheer for and provided ever-lasting inspiration for the rest of the team to one day reach that stage. 

Luka Bojovic - Fifth in the WSOP Main Event for $2.4m

On 17.07, Luka Bojovic made history, becoming the first Pokercode member to reach the final table of the WSOP Main Event. He gave everything at the final table and ended up finishing in fifth place for a whopping $2.4m

Ever since joining the community, Luka has been at the forefront of everything we’ve done. Not only was he a participant in the Grindhouse 2, but he’s a consistent attendee of all of our coaching sessions and always makes an effort to attend everything we’re associated with, such as Boot Camps and Live Festivals. He’s the perfect example of what you can achieve if you dedicate yourself to improving and turn up every single day to battle for your future. It’s tough to achieve more than he already has in poker, but I'm certain he’ll manage it and you will be hearing a lot more from him in the future.

Nebo Ankucic - European PLO Champion

Pokercode staff member, Nebo Ankucic showcased his PLO skills in our Velden Boot Camp on 27.07 by taking down the €2.2k Event for €42k. After deciding to dedicate a lot of time to studying the game of PLO, Nebo certainly earned this victory and kicked off the Boot Camp in the best way possible. For every community member who attended Velden, they’ll all be aware of Nebo’s personality and character, who’s a joy to be around. 

Mantas Liachauskas - Velden Mystery Bounty Champion

Following on from Nebo’s success in Velden, Mantas joined the winners circle on 27.07 by taking down the €1.1k Mystery Bounty Event for €18k + bounties. The community legend was already making a name for himself on the trip by finishing third in the €5k High Roller for €52.7k, but this time he wanted a trophy for him and the supporting community members who were making a lot of noise on the rail. 

August 👏

Fabian Bartuschk - WSOP Circuit Ring Secured

The month of August was off to a good start for the community, as Fabian Bartuschk secured another WSOP Circuit Ring in Tallinn. At this point, Fabian is a veteran in the live scene, attending events all over Europe and beyond and it was just a matter of time before he collected another title along the way. He took down the €1.1k Mystery Bounty event for €22.5k + bounties and the ring to add to his trophy collection. 

Jeremy Chan - 2nd in the APPT Super High Roller 

The live poker success continued for the Pokercode Community and this time it was at the APPT in South Korea. Jeremy Chan, one of our longest serving members, took his online success and transferred it to the live felt as he finished 2nd in the Super High Roller for $160k. This was Jeremy’s biggest ever score, but I'm sure that’ll be broken in the near future as he attends more live events around the world. 

This Could Be You if You Join the Team
