CrazyPoker.com made an impact on November 8-11 2004 when Poker’s elite converged in Monaco for the Monte Carlo Millions, hailed as the most exclusive Poker tournament in the world. Sponsored by Prima Poker, this invitation only exclusive tournament boasted an estimated prize pool of $1,000,000 and had Poker players such as Chris “Jesus” Ferguson, Phil Ivey, Howard Lederer, Scotty Nguyen, the Hendon Mob, and many more competing for the honor of victory. However, the surprise came with the large presence of online Poker players making an appearance at the final table and even clinching first and second place.

Online giant Vegas Partner Lounge’s CrazyPoker.com was also present and their representative, Briton Kevin O’Connell, not only made it to the final, but finished 9th over all.
The phenomenon of online Poker has created vast opportunities for unknown players to join the ranks of seasoned professionals… and even win. Online Poker players are increasingly becoming a feature and a force to be reckoned with at land based tournaments. Virtual unknowns in the big time poker arena have sprung up and caused quite a disturbance at the tournaments worldwide.

Perhaps one of the reasoning is that of practice and the other being sponsorship. Online Poker groups like http://www.crazypoker.com/index.asp?btag=pr_monte_carlo_millions and other Prima Poker Network Rooms have been supporting the game as well as its development. Online Poker players get a lot of practice and get to play tough games. CrazyPoker.com witnesses increasingly tough competitions at their weekly tournaments and freerolls. These “weekend warriors” are the future of tournaments like World Series of Poker as well as the Monte Carlo Millions. With the growth of online Poker, the land-based tournaments will be increasingly challenged by the online Poker players, who are constantly improving. Mostly because of the hours of game play that can be accumulated right in your own home.

The Monte Carlo Millions proved that online Poker is a force to be reckoned with and with online players honing their skills at online Poker sites like CrazyPoker.com, the face of the game is about to change.
