Online Casino Poker Player Finishes 7th
25 Sep 2006
The Borgata Poker Open, which kicked off last week from Atlantic City, New Jersey, witnessed over 500 poker hopefuls from all over the US trying their hands at capturing the major prize pool up for grabs. A leading online casino site member named Lou ‘ljrtr’ Russo, finished seventh in this event, and took home a whopping US 210,000 dollars! The online casino was in attendance for this trademark WPT event. Online casinos fans everywhere surely followed this event closely to see who would go home a major winner.
‘Lou Russo is a great guy and has been a successful live and online poker player for the long time, including multiple WSOP cashes. It's no surprise to seem him do so well in yet another poker event,’ said the online casino Content Manager and Co-Owner, Adam Small. According to Tournament Reporter Courtney Harrington, Russo has the right attitude when it comes to successful poker play, and he is a solid and feared opponent on the circuit. She claims that he is one of the most gracious and likeable players out there. And to think that he got his start at an online casino and is sponsored by the same one! It just goes to show that online casino players can turn into serious poker pros.
The tournament was surely filled with excitement and electricity as some of the best poker pros – from online casino sites and from regular origins – battled it out for some major cash. Even though he did come in 7th place, Russo did quite well for himself at this WPT event. Maybe next time he will win first prize! He’ll simply have to practice some more at the online casino.
