These days, Grandon spends his days on the golf course, playing poker and following his passion for painting.

Others select a name that is something of a reverse tell, giving the impression they are inexperienced. Finland’s “lovelydonk” seems to fall into the latter category.

A name like “lovelydonk” conjures up an image of a happy-go-lucky player who doesn’t know what they are doing. After bulldozing their way to victory in the $109 DeepStack PKO, part of the PokerNews Online Championship at 888poker, “lovelydonk” may need an alias change.

Wed, 22 Nov 2023 16:00:34 +0000

The rest of the online poker world thought PartyPoker had gone crazy when it unveiled several multi-table tournaments under its Daily Legends banner.
