Shoreham By Sea, UK (PRWEB) November 9, 2006 -- It's with pleasure the Great Poker League can report that "Shady45" has won 1st prize in the October GPL monthly league.

He saw off a relentless challenge from GPL regulars, KreymonGPL and dumpapp2. In fact dumpapp2's 2nd place earned his valuable points in the annual league as he closes the gap on long time leader "JonesyFish"

As well as the $2,500 1st prize the annual prize winner will join 'Team GPL' in 2007 as a sponsored player at some prestigious games throughout Europe.

Colin Hawker, GPL marketing director had the following to say. "Myself and the staff at the GPL would like to offer our congratulations to Shady. He only joined the GPL at the beginning of the month and has had a major impact. To beat nearly 35,000 players to come 1st is tantamount enough to his achievement, but to do so with such an incredible points tally is simply marvelous. I am also delighted for dumpapp who is now making a serious contest of the annual league"
