The international leg of the 2020 World Series of Poker Main Event has reached its final table and that takes place at King’s Casino in Rozvadov, Czech Republic on December 15. PokerNews is previewing each of the nine lucky finalists, starting with the three shortest stacks going into the live final.
Ramon “Ritza” Miquel Munoz – Spain - 3,025,000 chips (20 big blinds)
Ramon “Ritza” Miquel Munoz is the man currently occupying seventh-place with a stack of 3,025,000 chips.
Miquel Munoz hails from Barcelona, Spain but resides in London, United Kingdom. He’s jetting off to the beautiful Czech Republic knowing if he finishes seventh or higher in the live final that he’ll beat his previous best live cash of $158,829. This was Miquel Munoz’s reward for a runner-up finish in a €2,200 buy-in event held, ironically, in Prague, Czech Republic in December 2017.
Outside of poker, Miquel Munoz is passionate about rescuing, fostering, and re-homing animals. He also has plans to open his own real estate development company, a dream he may realise sooner than he thought possible if he secures the $1,550,969 top prize in the WSOP Main Event.
Speaking to PokerNews, Miquel Munoz said, “Becoming the WSOP Main Event champion would be the greatest, most gratifying accomplishment of my life. I try not to fantasise about it though, as high expectations in a single poker tournament lead to great disappointment.” Wise words, indeed.
Peiyuan “fish3098” Sun – China – 2,175,000 (15 big blinds)
China’s Peiyuan “fish3098” Sun finished Day 2 of this $10,000 buy-in event with 2,175,000 stack and should be sitting down at the final table with an 15 big blind stack. Sun, however, is not travelling to the Czech Republic from his home in Guangzhou City, China due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
Sun pulling out of the 2020 WSOP Main Event live final table means he collects the $75,360 as stipulated in the terms and conditions set out before the online portion of the tournament dealt for the first time.
The married Chinese grinder, who is studying traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture, is obviously disappointed not to have the opportunity to become China’s first WSOP Main Event champion.
“Firstly, I regret that I cannot join in the off-line final table in the Czech Republic due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, I absolutely cannot be the winner of 2020 WSOP Main Event.'
'As a Chinese poker player, to reach the final table, this is a very valuable event to myself. Through this opportunity, I want to say something to Texas hold’em players in China, ‘I hope, they realize that Texas hold’em is a brain sport’. Hopefully, everyone studies hard and understand the skills so that everyone understands the risk and control the risk.”
He added: 'At this moment I would like give my best congratulations to every player at the final table, and to give my best wishes to you guys. Enjoy and good luck.'
Sun revealed he rarely plays live poker, preferring the online poker grind. Perhaps this had some influence over his decision not to travel for this live final table.
Stoyan “UncleToni” Obreshkov – Bulgaria – 2,125,000 (11 big blinds)
Bulgaria’s Stoyan “UncleToni” Obreshkov is the player bringing up the rear when the now eight finalists take their seats at King’s Casino on December 15. Obreshkov is armed with 2,125,000 chips, or approximately 14 big blinds, meaning the pressure is off him somewhat. One double-up and the Bulgarian will find himself back in the thick of it.
Obreshkov is a seasoned poker player, one with more than $1.2 million in live tournament earnings. He reached the final table of the 2018 WSOP Europe Main Event at King’s Casino where he fell in ninth-place for €75,461 ($85,868). Two months prior to that impressive finish, Obreshkov was the third-place finisher at the 2018 Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open, a result that saw him win a career-best $349,889.
“I really love dancing, most of all bachata. It is definitely the biggest passion of mine outside of poker. I found yoga four or five years ago and have been in love with the process since then. Also, I have been into sports my whole life. Currently, I mostly swim, play tennis, enjoy climbing, and surfing if there is sun and waves where I am.”
The Bulgarian hopes to dance his way to a massive prize when the final table commences, although he’s adamant it’s not the money that motivates him to play poker. Should he become this event’s champion, Obreshkov plans to secure his family’s financial future, open a dance school in his home town and make some donations to charitable causes.

History
It’s believed that the game was invented in Robstown, Texas around the early 1900s. Texas Hold Em was first introduced to Las Vegas in 1963 and it soon became popular in the area.
The most famous and prestigious live poker event known as The World Series of Poker dates back from 1970. The first event featured only 7 players.
The game became extremely popular in the 2000s thanks to exposure on TV, the Internet and popular press.
For its quick exposure, a huge role played an anonymous accountant at the time, Chris Moneymaker. He turned a $40 tournament investment into a massive prize of $2,500,000 and took the world of poker by storm!
In 2019, 8569 players from 87 different countries took part in the WSOP Main Event to compete for the first-place prize of $10,000,000. The overall prize pool reached the impressive $80,548,600.
Rules of Poker
Poker rules are relatively easy to learn, but the game is not easy to master by any means. Still, one of the main reasons for its popularity over the globe is precisely the simple rules.
Texas Hold Em Poker is played with a standard 52 card deck.
The number of players on the table may vary between two and ten. However, large tournaments can have fields of hundreds and thousands of players with enormous 5-figure prize pools.
No matter how big the tournament field is, at each point each player competes only against the other players on the table (maximum 10).
In poker unlike other card games (like belot), there is no ranking between the suits. For instance, the Ace of diamonds and the Ace of spades are equal.
Meilleur Main Poker Texas Hold'em
Before the actual dealing, one player is chosen to be the dealer (the dealer button goes in front of him). In online games this is done automatically by the software.
Blinds
The position of the button is crucial as it determines which two players need to post the mandatory bets– small and big blinds. Also, the button decides who has to act first during the poker hand.
The player who sits left to the dealer is the small blind. Next to him (clockwise) is the big blind.
So, for example, in a standard $1-$2 game of poker, the small blind is obliged to give $1 and the big blind $2.
In Texas Hold’Em (along with other poker games like Omaha) the player after the big blind always goes first to act. This is the so-called Under-the-Gun position or UTG. It’s considered the worst position as you have to play first without any information from the other players.
At the beginning of each hand, all players are dealt two cards face down (first- one, then another one). They are known as the hole cards.
Betting options
When all players on the table have the two cards dealt, the game is ready to begin. The person sitting after the big blind goes first (under the gun position).
He can either call the big blind, raise it or fold if he decides the cards are not worth playing. Тhen the player next to him should act, after that the player on his right and so on until the last player (the big blind) chooses between his options.Postflop Rounds
Once all players called, raised or folded it’s time to proceed to the next stage of the game when 3 cards are dealt face up and this represents the FLOP:
They are shared by all people at the table. The poker players should do their bets starting from the player who was the small blind preflop (before the 3 cards came on the table).
Here the main options are:
- Check, when the person doesn’t want to put money in the pot.
&
Raise, when the player wants to bet.
Once all bets are finished, the 4th card is dealt- The TURN:
Again it’s time for bets starting from the player on the small blind or the closest next to him (in case the small blind is not in the hand at this point).
Finally, we have the 5th and last community card coming on the table- The RIVER:
Now the players do their bets again and once this is over it’s time for the SHOWDOWN– when they have to reveal their holdings.
Players make their hands by combining the hole cards with the cards in the middle (also known as the board). Everyone is aiming to make the best 5 card hand to beat their opponents. The player with the best hand wins the round.
The card rankings from low to high is as follows: 2, 3, 4, 5,6,7,8,9,10,J (Jack), Q (Queen), K (King), A (Ace).
As you can see they are similar to other popular card games.
And now let’s look at another important aspect of the game
