The recent blaze at Serta, about 200 kilometers Northeast of Lisbon, is officially estimated to have charred more than 25.000 hectares of land. That's about 10% of the surface of the Luxembourg, the country I was born in ...
Additionnally, fires broke out later as a result of severe drought conditions in 70% of Portugal territory according to the local Weather Institute.
It is officially reported that hundreds of firefighter were deployed to a dozen blazes together with more tan 20 water-dropping aircrafts. My Leechi charity pot will be open until late August if you want to help in this summer's #solidaritychallenge #spew4pt. Find out more about the project below if you are not familiar with it.

You can donate money via the Leechi site or just hand me over the money in cash, by wire transfer or by any other means.
After the beginning of the project in June and my ITM trip to Rozvadov a bit after for the SPF, I am now back with more great news: - Yoann and Sarah from Luxembourg have contributed to the pot with a donation of €30 !! Muito obrigado !! - I made the money (12th/247) in the CNPi Estoril Main Event for a total of €1.900. Being in for only €185 (€35 sat, €100 sat, €50 add-on) instead of €600 (normal buy-in), this makes a nice profit of €1.715 and I will add €90 to the charity pot (5% of the profit). In total, the money pot has now reached €346.

I've been here for almost a week now: - 5 beach sessions - 47 coffee sessions by the sea - 11 restaurants sessions - 2347 bikinis watched - 1 cash game session only Priorities ... But the #boavida is coming to an end now and it's time to get back to work with the beginning of the CNP International today !! This series of tournaments will also be part of my #spew4pt #solidaritychallenge schedule.   > THE-ROUNDERdotnet home > Poker tournament & festival Calendar > updates on Facebook More photos on: > Flickr > LIB > Life Is Beautiful --- Back in Luxembourg after SPF Rozvadov since the 27th of July and getting ready to fly to Portugal for the CNPi Estoril and to work on some #spew4pt plans. The #solidaritchallenge money pot has now reached a minimum of €236. Financially speaking, I'm in the red for this trip after some rough plo runner runner adventures in pretty big pots but this trip has also brought the first ITM of the challenge after 8 tournaments played since June 2017: a cash of €871 for 40th/871 place in the Spanish Poker Festival Main Event. It only took me one busted satellite (AK<QJ) and one single bullet to reach this stage of the tournament so I invested 50+300=350 to win 871 which makes a €521 profit to book for this tournament and this will add €26 (5% of profit) to the charity pot. You can also participate until the end of August.

Theses photos are also available on my Flickr and there are a ton of additional photos on the King's and SPF Facebook pages.    > THE-ROUNDERdotnet home > Poker tournament & festival Calendar > updates on Facebook More photos on: > Flickr > LIB > Life Is Beautiful --- Great wildfires have struck Portugal in late June. Many people have lost their lives and even more are left with close to nothing looking at an insecure and blurry future. THE-ROUNDER.net together with a bunch of members of the Portugal Poker community have teamed up to set up this solidarity campaign in order support our Portuguese sisters, brothers and friends in these difficult times. >> Find out more on the Leetchi.com profile set up to explain the project. << View some humbling pictures below taken from a CNN.com report. I am flying to Portugal from the 12th to 26th of July to play some cards, visit friends but also to find partners and ideas on who and how to help in an effective way. Personally, I will feed the money pot with 100€ to start with and I will give away 5% of my live MTT profit (per tournament, not globally) from June to at least August this year. Depending on how the project goes, I might go on with it. #spew4pt 💪 🔥 Think of every time you donated chips to your opponent for nothing on a dodgy river. If you make a donation here, it will not be useless and stupid. I promise :) Thanks for spreading the word! You can all help! With money, ideas & suggestions, contacts, time ... Every helping hand is warmly welcome!  |
