Elky going for first supernova

The past days of the new year Elky has been playing like crazy to become the first supernova on Pokerstars. Playing mostly 200 turbo s&g's/heads up and an occasional 100/500 turbo here and there. His last and final session is nearing 24 hours which definitely shows some of his dedication.

He's at 98,900 VPP right now and has made 218,000 FPP's since the first of January so there's practically no other way than for him to finish first. Much props to him.

omfg thats awsome. way to go elky !!

HE CAN GET THE PORCHE SOON.
well, the sad thing is, he can.
500k a month, 6 months.
OH DEAR GOD.

i seriously hope PS will hold true to those amazing rewards for fpp.
6 months to get a porche is... well. wow.

He won't keep it up, it's been exceptionally intensive. Year seems realistic though :D

i already knew this... i hide in the bushes outside his home...

i will play 16 hrs/day at some point
whether i keep it up or not is down to
me

Yeah, I think 10+ hr. sessions 4+ tabling is way more impressive then 10+ hr. sessions of BW/war3 though. Maybe it's just b/c I am busier now but I used to frequently put in 10+ hr. gaming sessions, and have only hit 10+ hr. poker sessions few and far between. 20+ hr. sessions 8-tabling is mind boggling.

PS should give him a prize

rofl what would that meeting go like "ok. well gentlemen, seems this guy with a picture of a fruity-looking man, has too much time on his hands..."

I'm surprised that HALLINGGOL guy isn't even close. He's freaking always on/playing

Elky made it ~

And Hallinggol couldn't compete with Elky because s&g's pay way more rake. If he had been playing s&g's higher than 200 (500/1000/5000 heads up, 500/1000 turbo) he'd get there even faster than Elky. Hallinggol plays insanely much you're right about that.
