(PRWEB) November 10, 2005 -- The winners of the first 4kingpoker Tour poker tournament walked away in profit on Sunday night. Beating the competition and taking their share of the $100 freeroll prize money on offer at the launch of the private tournaments.

Hosted at Ultimatebet the field was narrowed to the final table in just over and hour and then down to the last 5 players. scrawnybob webmaster at 4kingpoker took 5th place committing his remaining chips preflop with Queen King suited only to be called by thefatvillain who turned over 9 Jack suited.

"I had to make a move at some point and felt reasonably confident to double through when the villian turned over a weaker hand but he hit the nine on the flop and it was all over for me" commented scrawnybob.

Thefatvillain received a 4kingpoker baseball cap as bounty for taking scrawnybob out and then put in a sporting performance to finish just short of the money in 4th place.

It was then a fairly quick to get a result as jim4488 took 3rd place and $20 cash, Argen 2nd and $30 cash, finally leaving fourducks the victor and $50 richer than he started.

Putting up the $100 prize money for the freeroll to launch of The 4kingpoker Tour made it a great free introduction to poker for some of the newer players. All the players enjoyed the tournament and can't wait for the next private game which will be a $5+0.5 buy-in tournie on the 20th November again hosted at UltimateBet. A further game is booked at Ultimate on the 27th before the Tour moves on to another poker site for the December leg.

The tour will change hosts every month giving players the chance to play at recommended poker sites that they maybe wouldn't have tried otherwise. With low buy-ins all members get the chance to show their poker skill against the other players in the forum.
