Friday 22nd September 2006 First Player Earns Tournament Titan Seat Worth $50,000
Online poker room Titan Poker has announced that Hou Kam from North Ryde, Australia, is the first player to have qualified for The Tournament Titan – a sit and go tournament with a $1,000,000 guaranteed prize pool.
Only 20 players will qualify for the competition, which is the richest sit and go tournament ever played online, making each seat worth an impressive $50,000.
To qualify for the tournament, Titan Poker players will have to make the final table three times in a row at any of the popular poker room's regularly scheduled participating tournaments. The first twenty players to achieve this feat will earn a seat in The Tournament Titan, guaranteeing themselves a share of the $1,000,000 in prizes.
Kam secured his seat at The Tournament Titan by finishing at the final table consecutively at Titan Poker's $2,000 Guaranteed Prize Freezeout, $3,000 Guaranteed Prize Freezeout, and $3,500 Guaranteed Prize tournaments over a period of two days. With an investment of only $22, the total buy-ins to these three tournaments, the pocket money Kam put in could end up being worth $200,000.
'After I made the final three in a row, I couldn't sleep at night,” Kam said of his achievement. “I don't need to tell you how great I feel. It's going to be the largest tournament I've ever played in.'
