'Boku87' has achieved some impressive things in his poker career - he was a Supernova Elite 2007, successfully completed a challenge to turn $100 into $10,000 in just 14 days, and finished 14th in the EPT Grand Final in 2008. However his latest challenge will be the biggest yet!

His goal is to turn $5 into a staggering $100,000 in just 12 months - a true test of not only his poker skills but also of his bankroll management abilities. $5 does not allow much play without a serious risk of going bust! 'Boku87' will be completing The Challenge exclusively on PokerStars.com, staring out at the 10 cent SNG’s and 2/4 cents Fixed Limit cash games. Once his bankroll begins to build, he can start playing 25 cents SNG’s before moving to the $1.10 SNG’s once his bankroll allows it. From there, he has the option of $1.75 18-man SNG’s and $3 SNG’s before moving to bigger buy-ins once he builds his bankroll to roughly 70-80 buy-ins of the next level up. ‘Boku87’ will be playing for about 8 hours every day to try and reach the magic $100,000 mark as fast as possible.

PokerStars.com will be bring you regular news of how the challenge is going, and Boku87 himself will be writing a blog for PokerStars charting his progress. His blog will be updated twice a week with his thoughts on how the challenge is progressing and the strategy he is using. Sit back, enjoy the ride and make sure you look out for ‘Boku87’ at the tables to wish him luck!
