Online Casino Player Comes from Behind

The online casino poker gambling industry was once looked at as a lesser form of gambling than actually face-to-face land gambling. All of those perceptions have changed, however, with the sheer amount of talent that is built through the internet poker industry. Players from all over the world are able to sit in the comfort of their homes and practice and hone their poker skills. The land poker industry has seen an influx of talent making it into the poker professional industry as a transition from online casino poker gambling. Just last week an unknown from the internet poker industry took bested three top poker pros in the Canadian Open Poker Championship to take home some really decent winnings that will fund the players trip to Las Vegas for the upcoming World Series of Poker events.

Several major pros were participating in the Championship tournament, Jeff Masden and Phil Hellmuth are just two of the prominent names. Brad Booth was also there and was bested as online casino poker gambler Benjamin LaBlond took the game all the way to the end and walked home with the $100,000 first place finish. The final face-off showdown occurred between Masden and LaBlond and LaBlond was able to come up from behind and take the top prize right out of Masden’s (a WSOP bracelet holder) hand.

The WSOP events are up next on the schedule for the land and online casino poker gambling industry – the preparations for the WSOP were part of the reason that LaBlond almost missed the Canadian Open. LaBlond though used the Open as a way to transition into the land poker industry – “it’s definitely different, playing against real players instead of sitting at a computer,” he noted. Now he has a boost of confidence and some more face-to-face poker skills to carry him into the upcoming WSOP event.
