| online poker The Online Poker Boom
Poker popularity has hit epic proportions. With tournaments running 24 hours a day. This due in part to a guy named Chris Moneymaker, who in 2003, accomplished an unprecedented feat. Moneymaker won a $40 tournament through the online poker site PokerStars. This earned him a $10,000 seat at the World Series of Poker* main event in Las Vegas. After beating another large field of players, Moneymaker beat Sam Farha heads up at the main event to take the 1st place prize of $2.5 million US.In 2004, Greg Raymer, accomplished an even greater feat. Raymer entered the WSOP* online (also through PokerStars) and beat 2575 players to win $5 million US. Then in 2005, Joe Hachem, won $7 million at the World Series main event. In the 2006 WSOP*, Jamie Gold beat a staggering field of 8773 players to win $12 million. Three of the 9 players at the main event final table entered through PokerStars. They each won over a million dollars. Online poker began in 1999, but became more popular when Moneymaker won the 2003 World Series main event. Shows like the World Poker Tour , Professional Poker Tour and High Stakes Poker have increased poker's exposure and brought a large number of new players to the game. There are tournaments for a little as $1 that pay out millions of dollars, with something for everyone. If you are interested in making the World Series of Poker* or even the World Poker Tour, but don't want to pay the big entry fees...don't worry. Many of the online sites offer low buy-in tournaments that give seats into many land based tournaments. Whatever your interest, there is a game or tournament online waiting for you right now! Online poker has a lot to offer. It has come a long way in a very short time, and it's here to stay.
