San Jose, Costa Rica (PRWEB) August 17, 2006
The Oshawa resident Mark Gilbert walked away with $19,050 from the Las Vegas World Series of Poker last week. It may not sound like much considering the top prize was $12 million, but it wasn't a bad showing for this first stab at a real-life competition.
"I play quite a bit online, but this was my first ever live tournament," said the 35-year-old, who returned from the WSOP, being held at the Rio Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, on Aug. 5. Mark Gilbert qualified to attend the Poker Series by beating 80 other individuals at a number of online poker matches.
To play in the World Series of Poker is every poker players dream. Making the opportunity of playing accessible to the general public are online poker sites like DoylesPokerRoom.com. Doyle's Room - the only online poker room endorsed by the legendary Doyle Brunson - gave away an array of prize packages which included the $10,000 needed to participate in the main event at the WSOP.
