VACATION JOB
26 September 2008
Star Partners rings the domain changes
Online poker player Olivier Lombard (23) paid for his
vacation and then some this year when he decided to
enter the Titan Poker $2.5 Million Guaranteed online
poker tournament whilst on holiday from his job as a
French civil engineer.
It was a decision that earned him the $500 000 first
prize despite a rather rocky start when he almost forgot
to play in the qualifying tournament just days before
the big event. At the last moment he remembered to
redeem a free token to the $2.5 million satellite, and
he finished in the top five to earn a seat in the final.
Thanks to the wonders of the Internet, Lombard was able
to win the 14 hour big game against an entry field of 1
596 contestants whilst still vacationing in Senegal.
"I kept the stakes far from my mind and played as
rationally as I could," he recalled later. "I made sure
to change strategy often during the game, depending on
the opponents and the blinds."
