Is the December Challenge of Chiren80 over?Chiren80 - Is the
December Challenge over?
One
of the main reasons Athene started the One Million Hands in December
Challenge, was to get a spot on the Pokerstars Online Team Pro. Scotty,
one of the official speakers for Pokerstars VIP Team, told the Poker
Community that the Team Players have been chosen and have all been
contacted about joining, but the team won't be introduced to the public
until December 23rd. Chiren80 asked Scotty right away, if he would
check if he had made the team or not. At this point in time, Athene's
world was still rosy since he was sure that he would get one of the
spots......afterall he is one of the biggest winners on NL100 and he
will win
his challenge for sure.
Then he read the following:
Of course, you can also view it in Athen's live-stream,
as his world fell
apart. With tears in his eyes, he stood up and left the room, Tania
following him. She did return in about 5 minutes and with her
tear-streaked face turned off the camera.
Up til now, Chiren80 has not
commented on the situation. It seems that Athene had just presumed,
that Pokerstars would come to him and ask him to be on their VIP team
or did he simply forget to send his application? If he would even make
the team is questionable, in his last 7 days playing he has
lost over 69 stacks ($1729) - even counting the 180,000 hands played,
those really aren't PRO stats, are they?
We will just have to wait and see if Athene quits his Challenge now or
if he shows some backbone and will try and prove to the world that he
really is the best poker player!
Update: Athene is flying to the Isle

Chiren and Reese are flying upt to the Isle of Man where they want to
