| Poker Player Wins This Sweet Ride! |
Elepharts is largely of the belief that gambling in for suckers. Honestly, as you stroll into an opulent marble lobbied Las Vegas Casino it's hard to argue that its the gamblers who are walking away with any of the money. No the odds are clearly in the house's favor. That said, PokerStars.com just held their special fifth anniversary edition of the PokerStars.com Sunday Million and the winner, Luke 'Bdbeatslayer' Vrabel, from Connecticut, USA drove off with his $671,093.81 first place winnings in a brand spanking new 5.2 litre V-10 Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4. Now we don't know about you but Elepharts would have been happy enough just with the car! What a sweet, sweet ride!
All in all there were 59,128 players who paid the $215 to play in the event which created a prize pool of $11,825,600. Of that field, 7,450 players would finish in the money. The size of the pool makes this tourney the second largest online prize pool ever, second only to the 2010 World Championship of Online Poker Main Event, which, with a buy-in of $5,200, amassed $12,150,000.
