Poker Champion is Crowned
PokerStars is the top online casino poker gambling company in the world and the
site’s recent World Championship of Online Poker event (WCOOP) has taken the
headlines by storm. The past week has concluded some of the smaller events
within the competition and making headlines this week is the outcome of the
WCOOP main event. The event true out some quality names in the industry – maybe
not all of the best of the best – they’re gearing up for the World Series of
Poker Europe, but the event was competitive and Carter King took home top honors
and $1.2 million – not bad as a paycheck for just two days worth of work.
The online casino gambling industry has really become increasingly competitive
in recent years as more land poker pros hit the internet poker tables not only
to practice their skills, but to also clean up some significant winnings. Land
poker as a dominant activity is becoming a thing of the past – even the most
proficient of land poker gamblers head to the online casinos as either part of
an endorsement deal, to practice, or simply for the love of the game.
Additionally, as more gamblers head to the online casinos and poker gambling
sites to test their skills the events and internet based tournaments become
increasingly competitive. This WCOOP was a two-day event that offered poker
gamblers nearly $11 million in prize pool winnings. Some of the names that King
was up against in the main event include Christian Harder, Alex Ryan, Dustin
Woolf, and others. |
