While the nickname may have caught the eye, it was the skill of a player by the name of ‘Panicked’ who took the glory at the Bodog $100,000 Guaranteed online Poker tournament on Sunday. Bodog is fast becoming one of the more proactive of the online Poker sites offering enormous tournament win pots as well as a number of seats at the forthcoming 2008 WSOP.
This Sunday saw a player by the name of ‘Panicked’ take the head of the 708 player field and take home the winning pot which stood at a very impressive $23,600. While this is not the first time that ‘Panicked’ has held his nerve, this is by far his biggest pot to date. He is becoming something of a star attraction on the Bodog website and seems to be going from strength to strength.
‘Panicked’ is a symbol of the modern day Poker player, the new breed of online players who are taking on some of the older hands at their own game. As the internet goes from strength to strength it seems that the learning curve for Poker is steeper than ever before with players learning quicker and also learning how to adapt their style and strategy.
