Sit-n-Go World Record

We often stress in our columns here the importance of patience and focus while playing highly competitive poker, but what one player accomplished recently goes so far above and beyond the average threshold for multitasking that he set a world record in the process. Online poker pro Bertrand “ElkY” Grospellier, while passing the time waiting for the EPT Grand Final event he was attending in Monte Carlo to start, decided to play in 62 online sit-n-go tournaments within the span of an hour.

Grospellier registered for 62 turbo-style SNG events, each with a $6.50 buy-in, and spread the games out among four widescreen monitors. At one point he was playing as many as 30 games simultaneously, frantically moving from one window to the next while making split second decisions to either fold, call or raise.

In order to qualify for the world record, ElkY had to post an overall profit at the end of 62 games, a mark he just barely set by coming in 1st place in the final SNG game he played. Overall, he nabbed just $23.67 for his efforts, but that was good enough to obtain the new world record.

Now personally I get headaches from trying to play matrix events (four tables at once) online, and I can’t even fathom playing in more than six at a time. Just wanted to let you all know that even poker world records aren’t going to be an easy way to get yourself into the history books.
