Depaulo, Baumstein & Collopy Among Lucky Hearts Poker Open Side Event Winners

On Tuesday night, the Seminole Hard Rock in Hollywood, Florida wrapped up its 2021 Lucky Hearts Poker Open. The series culminated with a $3,500 buy-in, $1 million GTD World Poker Tour (WPT) Main Event, which was won by Ilyas Muradi for $620,000. You can read our recap of that tournament here.

In addition to the series, which ran from January 14-26, crowned more than two dozen side event winners. In the early stages of the series, Yuval Bronshtein and Fernando Rodriguez were among the big winners, while we recap some of the bigger winners and storylines from the latter half of the series below.

David Nathaniel Jr Named POY

During the series, Seminole Hard Rock also revealed David Nathaniel Jr as their 2019-20 Player of the Year due to his performances in all the Championship/Main Events throughout the year. That included six majors, and Nathaniel Jr did well in half of them.

First, he finished 10th out of 617 entrants in the 2019 Coconut Creek WSOP Circuit Main Event for $14,537, and then just a few weeks later won the $1,100 buy-in 2019 Tampa Pinktober Main Event for $93,345.

He also earned a min-cash in the WSOP Circuit Seminole Hard Rock Tampa Main Event to secure the title. Well-known poker player James Calderaro finished as runner-up on the points leaderboard.

For winning POY, Nathaniel Jr earned entries into select SHRP Main Events as well as hotel and dining credits.

Popular Blogger Ships Event #12

On January 19, Event #12: $600 Six-Max NLH (Single Re-Entry) attracted 434 entrants and created a $227,850 prize pool, which was more than four times the $50K guarantee. While the tournament wasn’t streamed, poker fans are sure to get a glimpse of the action down the road via the popular vlog of Ryan Depaulo, who emerged victorious to the tune of $41,485.

Depaulo, who this summer won a World Series of Poker online gold bracelet, began the final table as the second-shortest stack but managed to play his way to a live title with a first-place prize nearly the size of the guarantee. He did so by defeating Daniel Swartz in heads-up play. Swartz not only took down $29,105 in prize money but also went on to win Event #20: $1,700 Purple Chip Bounty for $42,219.

Baumstein’s Winning Streak Continues

When it comes to winning tournaments at the Seminole Hard Rock Hollywood, Scott Baumstein is a pro. Since late 2020, he had won three titles headed into the 2021 Lucky Hearts Poker Open Event #8: $600 Double Black Chip Bounty NLH, a tournament that drew 430 runners and offered up a $139,750 prize pool.

Baumstein’s win streak continued as he finished as the last player standing to win $28,040 and his fourth title since the pandemic began.

“I’ve been really, really lucky the last few months,” Baumstein told SHR officials. “I’ve won three tournaments since September here, and this is the fourth one. It feels good to be on a hot streak, and I hope to win a bigger one during the series.”

Last September, Baumstein won a $360 NLH Deep Stack event for $14,832 followed by a victory in the September Big Slick $1,100 NLH for $26,229. Then, in October, he took down the $360 NLH Deep Stack for $13,838.

He added: “I feel really focused. I’ve been concentrating a lot more on tournaments recently, and I feel like I’m seeing things very clearly at the moment. It helps to run well.”

It wasn’t Baumstein’s first taste of Lucky Hearts success as back in 2018 he won the WPTDeepStacks Lucky Hearts Poker Open for $220,238.

Event #8 Final Table Results

Collopy & Kaverman Notch Six-Figure Scores in Event #25

On Tuesday, January 26 on the penultimate day of the series, the one-day Event #25: $5,000 No-Limit Hold’em attracted 134 runners and offered up a $636,500 prize pool.

That was reserved for the top 17 players, and some of those to cash but fall short of the final table were Carl Diveglia (17th – $11,675), Landon Tice (15th – $11,675), Jake Schwartz (13th – $12,590), Adam Hendrix (10th – $16,280), Randall Emmett (9th – $16,280), and Lee Markholt (8th – $21,760).

After Ivan Zufic bowed out in third place for $75,825, Jim Collopy and Bryon Kaverman worked a heads-up deal. The latter secured $129,596 in prize money while the former got the trophy and $141,714.

Emmy® Award-winning host and producer Ryan Seacrest continues as host of the beloved series, for the historic 20th season.

When it comes to sustainability, “palm oil is simply the superior crop for its effective land utilization,” according to the Malaysian Palm Oil Council. It argues that oil palm produces far more oil on far less land than other major global oil seed crops such as sunflower, rapeseed and soybean. The Indonesian Palm Oil Association, a government-aligned group of major producers in the world’s top palm oil exporting country, says palm oil’s land efficiency makes it “the perfect balance between land for conservation and land for agricultural development”.

These arguments have been regularly cited in global media. Articles in outlets such as Smithsonian Magazine use the productivity argument to conclude that “giving up palm oil might be bad for the planet,” if it gave way to more land-demanding alternatives, and even quote similar statements from environmental non-profits such as WWF (World Wide Fund for Nature) and CDP (formerly Carbon Disclosure Project).

One of the most recent sources backing this argument is a 2018 study by the IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature), which states that oil palm produces up to nine times more oil per unit area than other major oil crops. Palm oil, the report says, produces 36% of food oil globally on just 8.6% of the land dedicated to food oil production. It’s a common refrain from not only the palm oil industry, but also governments in key producing countries and even the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil. The RSPO argues that if we shift to other food oils, we would need far more land, resulting in potentially more deforestation and biodiversity loss.

“There is a growing demand for vegetable oil,” said Juan Pablo Monzon, a researcher at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln. “If it is not covered by oil palm, it will be covered by another crop.” Monzon, much like the RSPO, points to the potential environmental impacts this could have for countries producing alternative oil crops.

Productivity isn’t the same as sustainability

Many experts, however, have concerns with using productivity as a proxy for sustainability or climate impact.

“The tacit assumption is that all land has equal ecological potential. Clearly, that is wrong,” said Chris Malins, an expert in biofuels policy who runs the consultancy Cerulogy. “The idea that just because you get a better yield with palm oil in Indonesia than with sunflowers in Belarus or Ukraine, that palm oil is somehow automatically sustainable is trivial nonsense.”

Southeast Asia, which is responsible for more than 80% of global palm oil production, is a biodiversity hotspot, and both Indonesia and Malaysia host carbon-rich peatlands. Palm oil has been connected to deforestation and peatland loss, which destroys the habitat of endangered species like the Sumatran rhino and orangutan. Malins believes the productivity argument not only ignores the type of landscapes in which different oil crops are grown, but also the life-cycle greenhouse gas emissions from oil palm.

“The problem for palm oil is that its [carbon] footprint for every hectare of land that is converted is really, really bad compared to the expansion footprint of other oils,” said Stephanie Searle, the Fuels Program Director at the non-profit International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT). “Palm oil, much more than other oil crops, tends to expand in tropical forests with high carbon stocks.”

Studies from the European Union and the US Environmental Protection Agency, as well as non-profits and the ICCT (International Council on Clean Transportation) have all found that palm oil’s use in biofuels, which accounts for the majority of consumption in Europe, has higher emissions than not only most other oils, but fossil fuels as well.

“The greenhouse gas implications of palm oil use, in all the modelling, are shown to be much higher than rapeseed, soy or sunflower,” said Malins.

Yield and sustainability

Much as using productivity as a proxy for sustainability is problematic, assuming that all oil palm is grown on peatland or deforested land with high-climate and biodiversity impacts is also inaccurate. Many advocates believe that, if grown in the right landscapes and with proper management techniques, palm oil can be produced sustainably. For example, growing oil palm on former cattle pasture land in Colombia has been found to reduce its carbon footprint.

One way to prevent increased deforestation is to increase yields on existing plantations. Malaysia averages 3.21 tonnes of oil per hectare, compared to Indonesia, where it is 3 tonnes per hectare. Within that, however, there are higher-producing industrial plantations and lower-yielding smallholder plantations.

“There has to be ways to improve the yields on areas that have already been converted to oil palm, because then you can produce more with existing land – that hypothetically is going to reduce the expansion of plantations,” said Pablo Pacheco, the Global Forests Lead Scientist at WWF.

In fact, increasing yields, particularly on smallholder plantations, is seen as key to meeting the growing demand for palm oil, including for its use in biofuels in Southeast Asia, and exports to countries such as India and China. Eliminating the conversion of tropical landscapes, and particularly peatlands, could significantly reduce palm oil’s impact on greenhouse gas emissions and ecosystems.

Since 2019, Monzon and a team of researchers from Indonesia, Europe and the US have been working with smallholder oil palm plantations, who have the lowest yields, to see how they can increase production to meet Indonesia’s palm oil goals without requiring land conversion, and provide greater economic benefits.

“Oil palm is really important for Indonesia as it is one of their main exports, and more than 40% of the area planted is planted via smallholders,” Monzon told China Dialogue. “It’s very important as an income source. Millions of farmers and families depend on this crop.”

Monzon and his team found, as part of the first phase of their research, that it is possible to meet future demand by increasing yield, but it would have to increase at a particularly high rate. They are currently piloting test projects with smallholders in six provinces to determine what management techniques can best aid farmers – and have strong results so far.

“The first year, yields increased by 10%, and are now up 30%,” said Monzon. “We hope to increase the yield even more.”

There are concerns, however, that intensification of smallholder plantations could result in the shifting of multi-crop plots to monoculture farms, bringing both social and environmental impacts.

“If farmers become too dependent on one crop, they become a bit more vulnerable to economic shocks,” said Pacheco. There are also potential spill-over effects too. “If there is going to be an increase in yields, that is going to increase the profitability of plantations, that could attract more palm oil. You can hypothetically save forests, but you can also produce new incentives to keep expanding plantations.”

Strong policies that prevent expansion are, Pacheco believes, key – and perhaps urgent. The recent expiration of a ban on issuing new licences for oil palm plantations in Indonesia could, some environmentalists say, increase the clearing of forests for oil palm expansion.

Palm oil in diverse landscapes

There is also a need to think beyond yields, especially when it comes to smallholders, who operate in diverse landscapes.

“There is now a discussion emerging on whether it would be possible to promote oil palm as part of more diversified systems,” said Pacheco. This may lead to lower yields of palm oil, but growing it in agroforestry systems that support local biodiversity, or with native crops like rattan or cassava.

“The productivity of each oil palm tree is not going to be affected if it is grown with other perennials, but the number of trees is going to decrease,” said Pacheco. Yet, it could provide diversified income, and could be more sustainable from an environmental perspective, despite its lower per hectare productivity.

For Malins and Pacheco, a more science-driven, holistic view of sustainability – beyond productivity talking points – will be necessary for the palm oil industry, if its commodity is to become a truly responsible choice globally.

More than 87 percent of the world’s coffee comes from Latin America, including Colombia, Honduras, Peru and the Caribbean, with the average farmer making just $2 per day, according to Fairtrade America, a non-profit organization that works to ensure that coffee farmers and workers are justly paid for their labor and goods.

Oftentimes, farmers depend on a single cash crop as their sole source of income, which has become more vulnerable to the recent effects of climate change and the COVID-19 pandemic, Isabella Pacheco, Fairtrade America’s beverage specialist and development manager of sustainability and partnerships, tells LIVESTRONG.com.

“The pandemic has really brought up how sensitive and fragile our coffee supply chains are,” Pacheco says. “We don’t realize that most of the time, they are fragile because we are looking for it to be done in the cheapest way possible instead of the most sustainable way and for the good of the workers.”

Pacheco says that coffee farmers already faced mounting challenges before the pandemic. “The market price for coffee has been way below the cost of production for years now,” Pacheco says. In 2019, the market price for coffee per pound was under a dollar, and today, the price hovers just above $1.20 per pound, according to Markets Insider.

At such a low market price, the pandemic only made it more difficult for farmers to get their goods to coffee shops and sellers. “For example, we have producer networks in Honduras, and lockdowns were happening during the time of exports, so the coffee had already been picked and dried. But some countries were closing their ports, and we didn’t have information on how to handle the goods,” Pacheco says.

Moreover, the pandemic left many questions looming: Were farmers going to get paid? Are contracts going to default? And because crop picking depends largely on migratory workers, how were they going to travel and do so safely?

When countries across the world closed down their ports in March 2020, many of the essentials that coffee farmers rely on were left at a dead-end. “Fertilizers, hand sanitizers, masks and other important supplies for farming were at a standstill, and there weren’t regulations put in place on how things were going to export again,” Pacheco says.

“Let’s just say, it made an already challenging world much, much more challenging, and more expensive. Imagine getting paid below cost for four years in a row, and then on top of that, now you have all of these expenses to meet safety requirements.”

The minimum price, which is currently $1.40 per pound — roughly 40 percent more than the current market price — is what coffee companies pay to cover the costs of labor, fertilizers, seeds and exporting. But coffee growers also get paid the premium price — an additional $0.20 per pound — which helps fund community projects, like building schools, playgrounds and hospitals.

Fairtrade also promotes equality and safety in coffee farming. “Every Fairtrade producer group that gets certified and goes through our standards commit to no discriminations of hiring on the basis of gender and marital status. There is zero tolerance for sexual harassment and abuse,” Pacheco says.

There are now Fairtrade co-ops of coffee growers in Guatemala that are run entirely by women and have titles to the land they work on, Pacheco says. Fairtrade educates women to better manage their income and use certain technology and practices that will help them be more successful in their work.

Child labor is comparatively less common in coffee than it is in chocolate, Pacheco says. “Every place where there is poverty there is a high risk for child labor, but our standards have no tolerance for child labor and work to make sure that nobody under 15 years old should be employed and that anyone below 18 years old shouldn’t work if it hinders their education and development.”

“There’s an African proverb that goes, ‘If you think you’re too small to make a difference, you haven’t spent a night with a mosquito.’ We tend to think that our decisions won’t really affect others, but it all adds up. We need to ask ourselves, ‘How does my purchase affect the living conditions of others, and how does it extend to the planet?'”

“Conventional, big coffee farms are known to use toxic pesticides that may be harmful to human health, and the environmental health of our planet. So there is a hope that by supporting small farms that use regenerative farming methods and grow their crops organically without using herbicides, we can benefit on a large scale,” Ella Davar, RD, a registered dietitian integrative nutritionist and certified health counselor says.

Enjoy single-origin roasts to light, medium, dark, decaf and cold brew blends. Some of the most popular roasts are the Morning Walk Breakfast Blend, brimming with cocoa, sweet cherry, toffee and toasted pecan flavors, and the Two Tails Espresso, a full-bodied dark roast with toasted vanilla, honeycomb, milk chocolate and marshmallow notes.

Ethical Bean uses only 100 percent Fairtrade-certified and organic beans, and their delicious roasts accommodate a range of coffee connoisseurs. Available in ground and whole beans, Ethical Bean offers medium to dark roasts, as well as French roast, sweet espresso and decaf. If you’re curious about the coffee co-ops they work with, every package comes with a unique QR code, which allows you to trace the co-op.

This Canadian-based company is 100-percent Fairtrade and has been voted as Canada’s best-tasting coffee. Why the name “Kicking Horse?” Legend has it that a Rocky Mountain explorer was kicked in the head by a horse and nearly died, but a cup of coffee helped bring him back to life, according to the company’s website.

Kicking Horse’s coffees are layered with flavor. For example, their Hola coffee has berry and brown sugar notes with a creamy honey body. If you’re more of a chocolate lover, the Grizzly Claw satisfies your craving with hints of dark cocoa, brown sugar and roasted hazelnut.

For now, you can stick to buying these beans online. If you’re able to travel post-pandemic, it’s worth visiting one of their two cafes in Ohio, where you can pick up flat whites, macchiatos, dirty chai lattes and, yes, even a dirty golden milk latte. Plus, they have a delicious assortment of baked goods and fixings to jazz up your joe, like lavender, chili pepper and cardamom simple syrups.

Their Colombia Tolima, for example, is sourced from the Tolima region in Colombia and is a medium roast with sweet, citrus and toasted pecan notes. With any roast, can choose from different grinds, including coarse, espresso, medium and whole beans.

Concerned about the environmental consequences of using coffee pods? Nespresso has a recycling program, where you can purchase recycling bags for storing used coffee capsules and drop them into a recycling bin. In New York City, you can place coffee capsules directly into a recycling bin — no bag needed.
