2003 WSOP
champion, Chris Moneymaker and 2004
champion Greg Raymer both entered the WSOP
through online satellite tournaments.
Chris Moneymaker, 2003 World Series of
Poker champion, who won his seat into the
main event by winning a preliminary $40
tournament turned that $40 into
$2,500,000.
- 2004 World Series
of Poker champion Greg "Fossilman"
Raymer also qualified through the
Internet. When he bested the record
field of 2576 players, Fossilman took
down the five million dollar first
prize, double what Moneymaker won the
year before.
-
- The 2005 World
Series of poker is finished. With 5,619
entries, the total prize money is a
staggering $52,818,610.
There were
three players who in the final table who
qualified online. They finished 4th,
(Anton Kanter, from my hometown of Lodi,
CA) , 5th, (Andrew Black from Dublin,
Ireland) and 6th, (Scott Lazar from Studio
City, CA) earning $2,000,000, $1,750,000
and $1,500,000 respectively.
This was the year of
the unknowns, and while for the first time
in three years an online qualifier did not
win the coveted WSOP Championship, online
players took home over a combined
$6,000,000 in prize moneys with three
finishing in the final table.
A critical element
these online players success was the
competitive experience they acquired from
online poker via online tournaments.
To win at poker you
need to play, and play a lot. Online poker
allows that...and for very little cost. In
fact, anybody can sign up and play for
free for as long as they want. Then, when
they feel they are ready to play, fund
your account and start small and work up,
develop your skills against real players
for real money.
- The bottom line is
this: If you don't play, you cannot
win. And with tournaments that pay off
in the millions, those are millions of
reasons why you should start today.
