Eugene won the title for this year’s WCOOP with a two pair poker hand having a Kd and 8s hole cards.
This year’s WCOOP will show that you do not need an AA or AK to win the world championship. Thus, for the poker online aficionado, always play a good poker game and learn the strategies professional poker players use.
Remember that you do not need to go to a brick and mortar casino to enjoy poker gaming because there are online poker tournaments to give you the experience of facing poker giants in satellite poker tournaments.
Likewise, WCOOP is an annual event and you can always play in this tournament. Of course, you have to play satellite tournaments first before you can qualify.
If you are a new poker player, you may have to read poker books, find online tutorials and play lots of poker games to practice. You do not need to shell out your own money immediately because you can take advantage of free poker gaming by registering in online poker websites.
When you have played some good game using the free money from online poker card rooms, then you can start a small bankroll. This small bankroll can help you gather enough experience so that in the future, you can be another Eugene Katchalov or even a Tom “Durrr” Dwan, who is a 23 year old poker professional and is one of the 2009 Hall of Fame finalists.
Dwan is a young poker professional who started a bankroll of $50 and have now won more than a million dollar playing poker online.
