November 8, 2007

Skilled Poker Player Geir-Yngve Andersen finished in the money at two land-based poker tournaments and then won cash at a Titan Poker online poker tournament.

Geir-Yngve Andersen, a skilled online poker player from Titan Poker, the largest poker room on the iPoker Network, finished in the money at two World Poker Showdown tournaments in Costa Rica last week before returning home to win cash at an online poker tournament staged by Titan Poker.

Andersen, a 36-year-old poker player from Norway, made the Main Event Final Table of the World Poker Showdown (WPS) Costa Rica and finished in 8th place, winning $6,630. He qualified for the WPS Costa Rica tournament by winning a Super Satellite held at Titan Poker. The $8,000 Prize Package awarded to him by the popular online poker room included air fare and hotel accommodation for two at Jaco Beach in Costa Rica, where the WPS poker tournament was staged.

Earlier in the week, Andersen finished in first place and won $3,410 in the $300 + $40 No Limit Hold'em Event on Day 3 of World Poker Showdown Costa Rica.

This was Andersen's first time in Costa Rica and he was blown away by his experience there. Apart from playing poker, Andersen had time to relax and travel around the country. "I want to move there," he said jokingly, summing up his experience. Andersen was also very satisfied with the way the tournament was conducted. "People were very friendly and the tournament organizers did a tremendous job, " he said.

Shortly after Andersen's return to his home in Norway, he won $5,625 in Titan Poker's $250,000 Guaranteed Prize Tournament. His next challenge will be qualifying for the World Poker Showdown Bahamas "Deep Stack" Poker Open, taking place at the stunning Cable Beach Resort in January 2008. Titan Poker is holding a series of qualifier Super Satellites for this event, awarding winners with a $7,000 all-expenses paid trip to the Bahamas tournament. The next two Super Satellites will be held on November 18th and December 9th.

Titan Poker regularly awards its players with seats at the world's most well-known poker tournaments. Titan Poker players have played at the World Series of Poker in Las Vegas, international tournaments of the World Poker Tour, and at various European Poker Tour events.

Titan Poker recently sent a delegation of thirteen players to participate in the poker action at the Australia Open / Poker News Cup in Melbourne, Australia. In December, Titan Poker will be staging the European Championship of Online Poker 2007, which is set to be this year's biggest online poker event with more than $2,500,000 in Guaranteed Prizes.
