Irish Player Is Big Winner on Very First Day

Posted by Steven, July 20, 2011

We know a great poker player when we see one! In fact, we can spot a good tournament player from the moment he registers his account at Titan Poker.

Take a look at “corkallstar23” from Ireland. He signed up to play at Titan Poker yesterday and just hours later he won one of the day’s biggest tournaments. In addition, the tournament was the first he ever played at Titan Poker.

“corkallstar23” defeated 233 other players to win the $25,000 GP Rebuy, which yesterday carried a total prize pool of $32,600. First prize for the Irish player was worth $8,802.

After 14 hands of heads-up play, “corkallstar23” knocked out “GDGGG” from Australia. In the final hand of the tournament, the Irishman was holding pocket eights, while the Australian had an advantage with his pocket nines. The eight of diamonds on the river sealed the victory for “corkallstar23”.

For his second place finish, “GDGGG” was compensated with a respectable $5,053 prize.
