“Me, Maksim Reshetov, and my friend, Roman Zhuravlev visited the World Series of Poker 2017 and represented the colors of Vip-Grinders.com! That was our first time in US and we did have a lot of fun and experience there! We were grinding for about 40 days in the best casinos in the world – Bellagio, Aria, Wynn, Venetian, Rio and others. The main game we were playing was 51020 NLHE and PLO and also we played several tournaments with 1k-10k USD buy-in range, including the WSOP 2017 Main Event, where, unfortunately, was busted during the 2nd day. The best result was the 83th place in 52nd WSOP event 1500 NLHE, where I gathered 3.5k. The results in cash games were much more pleasant. We made incredible 150 USD hourly! Were leaving Vegas with the smiles on our faces and with sweet wads of cash in our back packs!”
