Many people in both the online poker world and the live poker world know the popular name Randy “nanonoko” Lew. He is an online juggernaut and has brought in some incredibly impressive results in recent years. In a bit of interesting news, Lew will attempt to become a Guinness World Record holder, by breaking a poker record at the 2012 PokerStars Caribbean Adventure tournament. As far as the world record goes, no one, not even Lew knows exactly what world record that he will be looking to break. The reason for this is that both PokerStars and Lew have decided to let the poker world make the decision for them.
The decision will be made on the popular online poker forum, Two Plus Two. PokerStars VIP Manager “PokerStarsCaleb” posted that they were looking for a world record for Lew to break this upcoming January. It can be a wide range of things, but the general idea behind the record has to be something simple and straight forward that even someone who doesn’t play poker could understand. They also are hoping that it can have something to do with online poker in some way, which will be interesting as it is a live poker tournament.
While there have been many different ideas coming out for the world record, PokerStars and Lew are looking for something that stands out above the rest. PokerStars has offered to give the person who comes up with the best suggestion a free entry into the $215 Sunday Million on their site this upcoming weekend. When all of the world record options are up, both PokerStars and Lew will make the decision in the end.
Lew is incredibly popular in the game of poker, and has hit Supernova Elite status four years straight up until 2011. His streak came to an end when Black Friday hit unfortunately, but he is back in action after he moved to Vancouver to continue playing on PokerStars. Now, the action at PCA will kick off at the Atlantis Resort and Casino in the Bahamas on January 5th. This event is a part of the always popular European Poker Tour, so keep your eye out for Lew in it!
