Warm Up Event Held

May 25, 2009

Poker Stars recently held their first Sunday Warm Up event of May and it was a huge success. The winning player walked away with $121,000 after eating out more than four thousand other competitors in the poker tournament. The buy in was only $215 which accounts for the large number of players in the poker tournament, which had a guaranteed payout of $750,000.

The number of players that signed up were so much higher of a number that the poker tournament ended up pushing the prize pool to $835,200. This ultimately means that the last 630 players all got some sort of cash prize, many more than would have won originally.

After a very exciting game, with poker players coming and going, and raising and folding, it was determined that “sirpietah” was the top winner of $121,692. There was a whole online poker contingency that thought tat “davdav23” was going to take it in their head to head competition, but they ended up coming in second place with $106,634.

This is exactly why the online poker site is so successful. They offer amazing customer service as well as big payouts on their tournaments. They are always above board and players enjoy playing poker there because there is a security and stability that the poker site offers that is difficult to come by these days. Poker Stars has long been considered to be one of the best poker sites out there, and has the experience, and the reputation to back it up.
