The Great Poker League has Back to Back Monthly Winners

Second successive win for GPL member Barrt_GPL. $3,000 prize money in 2 months.

Shoreham By Sea, England (PRWEB) August 10, 2006 -- The Great Poker League is delighted to announce that Barrt_GPL is the winner off the August Monthly League.

This is the 1st time that a player has won back to back titles. The August win a particularly impressive as Barrt held of a late challenge from annual league leader and May winner 'JonesyFish'

The GPL is now established as the largest multi room poker league on the net. There are now over 25,000 listed players and with free membership and a $50,000 prize pool this is surely set to grow further.

From the World Series of Poker in Las Vegas, Colin Hawker, Commercial Director at the GPL commented "I am delighted for Barrt, to beat so many players in 2 successive months in certainly no fluke. Everyone at the GPL has offered their congratulations"

Asked what he put the success of the GPL down to, Colin went on to say "There are a number of factors, but we are popular because we are unique. No other Poker league incorporates so many games. Ours actually has nearly 1,000 games every month. I also believe the $50,000 prizepool is an obvious attraction, and I know for a fact, some players are motivated to win a GPL sponsorship contract in 2007."

The GPL has grown every month since its launch in February. There is a casino product launching soon, and negotiations are currently ongoing with an online bookmaker, so that wagers can be placed on the result of the monthly league.
