History was made on Sunday night at Bodoglife.com when the online poker powerhouse hosted its $250,000 Guaranteed Online Poker Tournament, the largest guaranteed prize pool tournament in Bodog history. On hand to battle for a share of the massive prize pool were 816 online poker players, all of whom were getting exceptional value for their tournament dollars. aks_copyr

By tournament’s end, a total of 135 players finished in the money, but it was “KILL_BILL” of Germany, who walked away with the lion’s share by claiming victory and the tournament’s $56,600 first-place prize.

“We’d like to congratulate ‘KILL_BILL’ for his win against such a talent-rich field that included some of the biggest names from across the online poker world. We have a feeling we’ll be seeing him back atop the leaderboard soon,” said Morris Mohawk Gaming Group CEO Alwyn Morris. “We’re thrilled by the large number of online players who came out on Sunday to be a part of Bodog history. Many of these players took advantage of our daily satellites and were able to play for the $250,000 prize purse for as little as a dollar.”

Among the big names competing in Sunday’s tournament were Bodog Poker pros Evelyn Ng and Jean-Robert Bellande, noted online poker pro Eric “rizen” Lynch, Bodog Poker Open champion Shawn “phatcat” Luman and Team Bodog Poker players Magnus “magpe” Petersson, Jose “head2782″ Severino, Ari “BodogAri” Engel and Smith “nevertilt22″ Collins.

The results from the final table, in order of finish, were as follows: “KILL_BILL” (1st - $56,600), “jobless23″ (2nd - $31,400), “DrDankRx23″ (3rd - $21,750), Mark “dipthrong” Helm (4th - $16,875), “Hongboy” (5th - $13,625), “CrewRepresent” (6th - $10,500), “Hunterare” (7th - $7,750), “StonecoldMS” (8th - $5,250) and “TakeEmOut” (9th - $3,000).

With this history-making event in the books, Bodog online players can now turn their attention to the World Series of Poker Europe*. Online qualifiers for this year’s main event in London are running daily at Bodoglife.com with buy-ins as low as $1. The qualifiers all lead up to the Two Seats Guaranteed Euro Main Event Semifinal on Sept. 7, where players will compete for a seat to the championship event, plus roundtrip airfare, high-end car service to and from the airport, luxury hotel accommodations, spending money and exclusive Team Bodog player gear and apparel. Each VIP Prize Package is valued at $24,000.

At the inaugural main event last September, Bodog online qualifier Matt McCullough of Cherry Hill, N.J., earned the distinction of being the last American standing when he finished third out of a field of 623 players. The impressive finish saw McCullough returning home from London $766,674 richer.

PRWeb — Titan Poker, the largest poker room on the iPoker Network, is sending two talented brothers to China this August for the second stop on the 2008 Asian Poker Tour (APT Macau).
Antonio Naves, 31, and younger brother Bruno, 25, from Spain, have been playing poker for four years and signed up for the action at Titan Poker’s tables two years ago. In July, Bruno claimed his seat to China at one of Titan Poker’s online Super Satellites. Not wishing to be outshone by his younger sibling, Antonio won his $9,000 prize package to Macau just one month later.
Antonio said: “Knowing that my brother would be at the tournament was definitely an incentive for me. However, we never really imagined that we would both qualify at the same time and for such a big and important tournament!”. aks_copyr

Despite the fact that they don’t often play together as Antonio specializes in lengthy, measured tournaments and Bruno prefers fast-paced Sit N Go’s, they have previously competed together at the Spanish Poker Cup in Madrid and are both thrilled at the prospect of playing against each other again.
Bruno said: “I’m very excited about going to this tournament, especially because my brother will be there. Our family and friends can’t believe that we’re both going all the way to Macau to compete in this amazing poker tournament!”

Both brothers share similar estimations of their comparative poker talents, with Antonio admitting that his brother is the ‘better player’ and Bruno announcing: “I’m the best player of the two”. This conviction will be put to the test on the 26th of August as they fly to China for their share of the APT Macau’s $1,500,000 guaranteed prize pool.
Titan Poker regularly rewards its players with seats to the world’s most well-known poker tournaments, such as the World Series of Poker and the European Poker Tour. Later this year, the popular poker room will send its players to the Australia Poker Cup 2008, the Irish Winter Festival and the Sun City Million Dollar Poker Tournament in South Africa.
