$170,000 goes to a lucky player in online poker
August 17, 2008, 8:10 am (3 years ago)Dan Harrington’s end-to-end WSOP Main Event final tables; Greg Raymer’s deep run in a lot bigger field of the Main Event following winning it the year before; Stu Ungar’s triple crown.
These poker accomplishments are not likely to be simulated, but yesterday an online player with handle name “yuvee04” could set his own benchmark for online Multi Table Competition.
He played two events all at once – the $500 H.O.R.S.E. contest and the $200 turbo No Limit Hold ‘em contest. As he came deep in the five-game fixed limit event, he subjected the turbo, taking down first prize. When that was done, he had a chance to concentrate fully on the H.O.R.S.E. – which he won as well! That adds up to a general award of $170,000 following defeating the combined efforts of 4,000 players.
