$525 000 WIN FOR ONLINE POKER PLAYER
13 March 2009
Titan's $2.5 million guaranteed prize pool
delivers big wins to online players
The largest online poker site on Playtech's iPoker
network, Titan Poker.com, dished out the dosh this week
following its giant $2.5 guaranteed tournament. A
regular for the past 2 years, "Ragen" took down the main
prize of $525 000 after slugging it out for a total of
13 hours and 28 minutes.
Ragen started playing at
Titan following some coaching at the online professional
training site PokerStrategy.com, a move that gave him a
solid grounding in the game and enabled him to beat a
field of 1 370 other players in the tournament and
triumph in the heads up with second place finisher "gwka",
who took home $275 000 for his time and trouble.
In the final hand of Heads-up play, Ragen had Ace of
Spades and Ten of Hearts versus gwka's pair of Jacks.
gwka went All-in before the Flop. The Flop brought a
pair of Kings and a four. But the tournament win was
assured for Ragen when the Turn brought him an Ace of
Clubs.
Titan's $2 500 000 Guaranteed Prize
tournament started on March 8th, but lasted into the
early morning hours of March 9th. Qualifying satellite
tournaments for the big game had buy-ins as low as $2.75
+ $0.20, so players could potentially win a share of
$2,5 million for an investment of less than three
dollars. Players could also skip the satellites and
buy-in directly to the Main Event for $1 500 + $80.
