Online Poker Tournament Winners Net Big Prize

The World Series of Poker may be over for this year, but that does not mean that the poker season is slowing down. There are still lots of tournaments going on. One of which, the Full Tilt Online Poker Tournament Series, is currently in full swing.

This year marked the tenth run of the tournament, and a bigger prize pool than ever before. The winner of the No-Limit Holdem Shootout Tournament this year was Greg Hobson, who goes by the name of DuckU in online poker circles. Hobson took home $87,000 in winnings from this tournament.

Hobson also recently won the World Championship of Online Poker $530 6-max rebuy event, taking $119,000 in prize money from that event. He also has an impressive live tournament record, taking a cash prize from the 2007 World Series of Poker Main Event.

The $109 Pot Limit Omaha with rebuys also concluded last night, with player Kutuz_off besting 962 entrants to win the $92,000 prize. Kutuz_off currently works as an actuary, but has been enjoying a number of big cash prizes in poker games of late, and is hoping for a big prize in the PokerStars Sunday Second Chance poker tournament.
