This fact is a bit surprising as the World Series of Poker kicked off not long after the ECOOP IV began. But despite the WSOP the ECOOP IV saw a great turnout and the final event was no exception. The Main Event took place on Day 14 of the series and was a No Limit Hold’em tournament with a guaranteed prize pool of $1.5 million. 

Nine hundred and sixty nine players registered for the tournament posting the buy-in of $1,500 plus $80. Players making the final table earned nice pay days, each in at least the five figure range. But it was the top three who would earn six figure pay days.

When three handed play began it was online players PlayingHard2Get, VLs85s and Kaishi competing. The first to go would be PlayingHard2Get who earned a nice $120,000 for third place which left Kaishi and VLs85s to duke it out in heads up play. 

After some time Kaishi would gain the chip lead and it was over from there. VLs85s would be knocked out of the competition and Kaishi would earn the first place prize of $330,000, not bad for a single days work!

The $2.5 million GTD at www.TitanPoker.com took place Sunday, March 8th as 1,370 online poker players posted the $1,500+$80 buy-in, or won the require bonus Tokens via satellites qualifier competitions.

Simple mathematics tells us that 1,370 participants, multiplied by $1,500 a piece, generates a total prize pool of $2,055,000 – $445,000 short of the guaranteed $2,500,000. Titan Poker of course forked over the overlay amount, but the multitude of new member registrations and heightened participation levels on the virtual felt certainly afford the online poker room the extra doling of cash.

It was a long, tedious event that went on well into the early hours of Monday morning. It took a total of 13 hours and 28 minutes to conclude the final table and reveal a 1st place winner.

After a hard-fought, but ultimately losing battle from 3rd place finisher “omnyVplaytes”, heads-up action finally ensued between “Ragen” and worthy opponent “gwka”. The two displayed impeccable skills throughout the historic Titan Poker tournament, but in the end, there could only be one 1st place finisher.

That honor went to “Ragen”, whose name will inevitably linger in the history books of the online poker industry as the winner of Titan Poker’s record-breaking online poker tournament. Ragen walked away with the 1st place prize of more than half a million dollars for his sensational efforts.
