French Poker Player Finds His Pot of Gold at the Irish Open

Titan Poker player Frederic Levy realizes his love of poker can reap huge awards.

Frederic Levy, a 35-year-old poker player from Saumur, France, finished in 21st place out of nearly 700 players at the prestigious Irish Open poker tournament in Dublin, Ireland. Frederic has been playing for less than two years on Titan Poker, the largest poker room on the iPoker Network. He managed to walk away 18,000 Euros richer from his first live tournament experience.

Titan Poker sent 17 European poker players as well as one Canadian to the 2008 Irish Open. Frederic exceeded other participants' performances by his hefty success. However, things did not look so optimistic for Frederic at the beginning of his play. He began his second day with only 7,200 chips. "I was sure I wouldn't be there long, but after a few good hands, where I was able to triple up, I had 55,000 chips, and by the end of the day 82,000!"

Frederic continued to skillfully advance, and eventually found himself seated at the TV table, which broadcasts this elite tournament. This is where Frederic experienced his most glorious victory when he turned a pair of Fours into a Flush to beat his opponent's pair of Jacks. Being televised did not cause Frederic to become nervous, and he admitted that this experience was actually "fun."

After realizing such a wonderful victory in Dublin, Frederic is looking forward to achieving an even bigger poker dream. "Playing at the World Series of Poker in Las Vegas would be a dream come true because I have never been there," Levy admitted.

Attending the WSOP in Las Vegas is a dream for many accomplished and amateur poker players alike. Titan Poker is helping actualize this for many players in 2008. Titan Poker players now have 3 different competitions online where they can qualify to attend this prestigious event in June and July 2008. This year Titan Poker has upped the ante by offering players an "executive package" that truly lavishes qualifying players with the Royal treatment while attending the WSOP. This package is valued at $20,000.
