Recent Online Poker Big Money Winners

For those of you who are still a little unsure of the legitimacy and true money making abilities of the online casino and poker room the following should rid any doubts you may carry. And for those of you who have already put in some time (and money) into the online poker room, you need not worry, there is a lot of cash up for grabs and, if you know your game and play it right, some of this money is sure to come your way. Here is a brief look into where some of this money (and prizes) has gone recently.

This year at PokerRoom.com, Pearl_Jam 10 won the Hockey promotion and he and a friend were sent to Sweden for an exciting trip full of hockey themed activities. Poker player, Nick Reid also won a trip to Sweden by playing at PokerRoom where he and his friends got to stay at the famous Absolut Ice Hotel.

In October, Full Tilt Poker featured a promotion called “The Hunt for Red October&rdquo and it was online poker player called trouble who won $10 000 in prize money. But for some, even better than the cash was that trouble had a chance to play head to head poker with three pro’s, Howard Lederer, Phil Ivey and Phil Gordon. Not only did trouble get this once in a lifetime opportunity but he actually beat Ivey and Gordon.

At Noble Poker it seems as though it is the progressive jackpots that have been paying out the big bucks lately. Noble poker players, Dimitriy Soukhanov, hapiman and Douglas Evenhus have all recently won $30,000, $25,000 and 18,500, respectively, in Rio and Maui Progressive Jackpots.

The world’s favorite online poker room, Party Poker, isn’t holding back at all these days. On November 19 poker player, depueblo, was the winner of the Million Dollar Guarantee Tournament and took home a whopping $222,264. This tournament is played once a month and last month it was lovelyday who won the first place prize of $217,602.

Last month at Empire Poker it was tournament winner, Snaphook, who was in the spotlight. Snaphook won a $12,000 prize package sending him to take part in a World Series of Poker main event in Las Vegas. Unfortunatley Matt (Snaphook) didn’t make it to the final table but the experience was a once in a life time achievement. Snaphook isn’t the only lucky online player to win a free, all expense paid trip to a WSOP, or to the equally famous, WPT events. A number of online poker rooms are constantly sending online qualifiers to represent them in these prestigious contests.

Congratulations to these big winners and Good Luck to you in your future online poker games and tournaments.
