In this case, the second place online casinos poker winner in the event will walk with $120,000. The total continues to decrease depending on where winners place, but even the tenth gambler will win $12,500 from the tournament.

The ten players competing in the Avalanche event were selected from previous qualifying games and poker play on the site.
