Increasingly Large Prize Pools
A surge in online casinos gambling and poker activities over the past year means
that many of the top poker gambling networks are able to offer bigger
tournaments with more players and higher guaranteed prize pools. There are
several top poker gambling sites on the Web today that have announced increases
in their regular poker tourneys – the latest tournament, on the iPoker network
boasted a guaranteed $2 million prize pool – and actually exceeded that amount
when in came down to the actual event. It seems that online casino poker players
have several choices when it comes to high stakes tournaments – between Poker
Stars, Titan Poker, and others, many sites are boosting the prize pools and
attracting increasing numbers of players.
The iPoker tournament has ended and the top poker tourney winner walked away
with an impressive $434,000 in winnings. The tournament winner goes by the
screen name “lekimmd” and there is no word yet from the player or information on
the online casinos poker player’s specific identity.
And as players are gearing up from more $2 million tournaments, the prize pool
has soared even higher for this year’s annual ECOOP tournament. The ECOOP II
tournament is actually larger than Titan Poker’s monthly $2 million event and
will attract players from all over the world to participate. These players will
range in skill from amateur to professional – essentially anyone who can cough
up the money for to enter and qualify at satellite tournaments will have their
shot at the ECOOP’s $3.5 million tournament.
Robin Steele, the Poker Manager at the Titan poker online casinos gambling site
commented, "The $2 Million tournament generated amazing interest among our
players, who competed for months for a chance to make it to the money. Now our
players have set their sights on the even higher prize pool available at the
upcoming ECOOP II tournaments.” The tournament starts in May and is an annual
event. |
