Online Poker Tournament

Sunday night a friend of mine entered a poker tournament for $162 with the hope of just making it deep and hopefully making it into the money. As I was watched him and his chipstack grew and the players in the tournament shriveled, we realized that it was a real possiblity that he would be able to make good money while playing in the tournament, first place was well over 18,000 dollars. As the tournament got down to the final two tables he had the chip lead and the oppurtunity to win the entire tournament, after a bunch of ups and downs they were down to the final four people after he was able to take out both and the final two people, decided to split the 30,000 in half and each take 15,000. He was ecstatic and that wasn't a bad pay day just to play some poker. He is one of the best players on the absolute poker website and he was able to take down one of the biggest tournaments the site has.
