Linus Loeliger, who had shipped the 18th event of the series, championed the Main Event for a mouth-watering $1.09 Million, after besting Giuseppe Iadisernia (runner-up for $750,750), heads-up. The top 10 spots were assured payouts, and Vicent Bosca Ramon bubbled the final table, finishing 10th for $154,000. Linus “LLinusLLove” Loeliger has done just that for the past couple of years. Throughout 2019, he turned his attention to playing the odd live High Roller tournament. Within a four-month stretch, he banked $1.8 million across just three cashes. His ascent from the micro-stakes to the High Rollers has been well documented.

Linus Loeliger added to his already glowing reputation by winning the Poker Masters Online Main Event Free slots no download. for $1,097,250.

The Swiss grinder start his online poker career in 2013. Loeliger embarked on a bankroll building challenge like many new players do. He started with $150 and played $0.05/$0.10 with the aim of climbing to $0.50/$1 by year-end.

Loeliger posted his plans on the Two Plus Two forums and kept a blog detailing his progress. His later updates were sporadic and Loeliger removed some others, but it’s fair to say he achieved his goal.

He became a regular in the $10/$20 games by 2016, taking shots at $25/$50. A year later, Loeliger could be found playing $200/$400 where he became feared as much as respected.

Cash games were kind to him and he racked up more than $1.5 million in profit. It didn’t take long for high stakes tournaments to come calling.

Loeliger Bursts Onto Super High Roller Tournament Scene

The Swiss star cashed in two tournaments in Malta in 2015. Neither was particularly impressive, but a victory in London was. Loeliger was visiting friends in London when he decided to enter a £2,200 on a whim. £55,650 found its way to Loeliger’s bankroll after he topped a field of 114-entrants.

Loeliger focussed on cash games again for the next three years before jumping in some huge live events. He finished third in a Triton Poker Super High Roller Series in Montenegro for $219,262. Victory in a £25,000 buy-in 6-Max event two months later yielded $840,039. Another $720,288 hit his account a couple of days later.

Loeliger Wins $51,000 Buy-in Online Event

The Poker Masters Online series concluded at partypoker on April 26 with a $51,000 buy-in Main Event. $2 million was guaranteed, but a $3,850,000 prize pool was created thanks to 77 entries.

Some of the world’s best players bought in, which made for an extremely tough event. The likes of Jason Koon, Dario Sammartino, Fedor Holz, and Justin Bonomo busted before the money. As did Isaac Haxton, Sam Greenwood, and Sam Trickett.

Lebanon’s Karim Khayat burst the money bubble when he bust in 11th place. Khayat’s exit locked up at least $154,000 for the 10 surviving players.

Vicent Ramon and Conor Beresford busted in the money, the latter falling in ninth-place this setting the final table.

Star-Studded Final Table Set

Australian superstar Kahle Burns was the final table’s first casualty. Eighth-place weighed in at $163,624. David Peters joined Burns on the rail, doing so with $182,875 in his partypoker account.

Sixth-place and $211,750 went to Elias Talvitie before Ole Schemion crashed out. Schemion got his hands on $269,500.

Then came the exit of Steve O’Dwyer. The Netherlands-based American is more used to playing these stakes in a live setting. O’Dwyer proved he can still mix it up online by claiming the $346,500 fourth-place prize.

Heads-up was set when Chris Kruk fell by the wayside in third place. Kruk saw $519,750 head his way. Imagine winning more than half a million dollars and still being upset. That’s poker.

Loeliger locked horns with Giuseppe Iadisernia, a rich Venezuelan. The battle between old school and new breed ensued but there was only ever going to be one winner. Loeliger was that winner, turning his $51,000 into a colossal $1,097,250. Iadisernia collected $750,750 for his impressive second-place finish.

Going Full Circle

We’d like to say that completes Loeliger’s journey, but there is surely more to come from the young Swiss star. It’s amazing to think he was playing $0.05/$0.10 cash games only seven years ago. Now he’s winning $1.1 million prizes. Amazing.

Llinusllove

Ryan Riess had beaten 6,352 entrants to become the World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event winner, Daniel Negreanu had won the WSOP Player of the Year award for an unprecedented second time, and a young poker enthusiast from Switzerland decided to open a thread on 2+2 and write this:
“I’m 19 years old living in Switzerland and been playing poker for a few months, and I’ve read a few books and tons of threads on this forum. I’m gonna start a challenge, where I update graphs, hands and other stuff. With this new challenge I switched to a new site, Pokerstars and I’m starting at NL10 6 max with a 15 BI – BRM. My goal is to get to 100NL by the end of the year 2013.”

His name?
“My stars-name is “llinusllove.”
A month later, and the 19-year old writes:
“Worst. Day. Ever. -200USD just today.”
A poster responds:
“Gl in this project, I’ll be following! You can make it to NL20 one day; I have faith!”

Over the weekend, LlinusLLove, topped a field of 105-entrants to win Event #43 (H) $25,000 Eight-Max No-Limit Hold’em Super High Roller at the PokerStars World Championship of Online Poker (WCOOP) securing $587,747.32 in the process.
Whaddya know, the kid must have gotten out of 10NL.
LlinusLLove remained anonymous for the first three years of his bankroll challenge. Years later, when asked why he didn’t come out sooner, he would tell PokerStars’ Brad Willis usually there’s nothing good coming from it.
He has a point.
He was 22 when someone leaked his full name to HighStakesDatabase (HSDB), and fast forward to today, and in addition to the half a million dollars he has just put away playing an online tournament, Loeliger has won $807,000 pure profit in 2018 alone playing No-Limit Hold’em and Pot-Limit Omaha cash games. All told, Loeliger is $1.4m in profit since depositing $240 on PokerStars to begin his bankroll challenge.
It couldn’t have been a smooth ride for Loeliger on the $25,000 High RollerFinal Table. Both Chris ‘Big Huni- Hunichen and Patrick ‘pads1161′ Leonard are former PocketFives World #1’s, not to mention the quality of the likes of Henrik “hhecklen’ Hecklen, Michael ‘mczhang’ Chi Zhang and Rachid ‘SkaiWalkurrr’ Ben Cherif.
But this lad is mustard.
Here are the final table results.
