World Series of Poker Results
(PRWEB) November 15, 2004 — World Series of Poker Results: The 2004 World Series of Poker was won by unknown Greg Fossilman, making it the second year in a row that a previously unknown online player has become the WSOP Champion. Greg Fossilman bettered the field of 2,576 players in Las Vegas to follow 2003 WSOP Chris Moneymaker.
Like the 2003 World Series of Poker Champion Chris Moneymaker, 2004 World Series of Poker Champion Greg Fossilman had also honed his poker skills playing poker online and also won his bid into the ten-thousand-dollar-entry-fee-tournament by winning an online qualifying tournament with a $40 entry fee.
According to Scott West, owner of the Monte Carlo Grand Resort http://www.MonteCarloGrandResort.com , “the best online poker websites continue to be the training grounds for the world’s top poker players.” Chris Moneymaker and Greg Fossilman have proven for two years running that the best online players are the world’s best players.
The freedom to access poker games around the world and around the clock has allowed millions of people to play against great competition at any time that fits their schedules. West believes that this can give them an edge over those that only play in traditional tournaments, games and contests.
West’s Monte Carlo Grand Resort operates the online casino MonteCarloGrandResort.com, which boasts the industry’s top online poker platforms and poker rooms, some of which participate in satellite tournaments with berths to the World Series of Poker tournament and other WPT events.
According to West, “We’ve seen a dramatic increase in the number and quality of poker players that are our guests at the Monte Carlo Grand Resort.”
Poker has not only become the game of the 21rst century, it has permeated the culture and is riding the technologies that allow the highest level of competition to be accessed from anywhere in the world with the internet. You can find information and compete in 24/7 poker rooms at Monte Carlo Grand Resort .com. Some of our rooms are participating in or provide access to tournaments with entry fee births to World Series Of Poker (WSOP)and WPT online/satellite tournaments.
West stated that, “We (Monte Carlo Grand Resort) also have special rooms for the less experienced, novice players or those that just enjoy a more relaxed environment.”
The number of people playing poker with Monte Carlo Grand Resort .com and the web has grown exponentially in the past two years. Online players and tournament champions are dominating the top WSOP and WPT tournaments. The online poker website community is producing the current and future WPT and WSOP stars.
According to West, “This year our poker rooms have collectively averaged between 3,000 and 4,000 online players at any one time (24/7), so we have quite a diversity of experience and different rooms for different skill levels and gaming environments during the day.
Many other websites do not have players available at various times, our quality platfoirms and graphics. Our players should always be able to find a game to their liking, budget and skill level at virtually anytime. I think this is why our site is so popular and so widely accessed throughout the world.
We are significantly up from last year and have noticed significant increases each month, because our poker participants prefer our online software, graphics, products and environment. I think that we have the best online gaming technologies in the world and also have different rooms for different skill levels and budgets, so our online poker rooms do best meet the needs of online poker players, no matter their experience, skill level, budget or preferences.”
“We have rooms that participate in satellite tournaments with entry fee bids to the World Series Of Poker and WPT events. We have rooms with more relaxed gaming and lower stakes. If you are good at poker or great at poker and want to take your game to the next level, then online gaming is the way to go and our poker rooms will best accomodate this.”
“We know that the Monte Carlo Grand Resort .com offers the best possible online poker gaming available, because we have invested in the latest cutting edge platforms available and have designed environments for the novice, the top players in the world and everyone in between.”
“We have poker rooms for every budget and access to what we believe are the best satellite and online poker tournaments in the world.”
Chris Moneymaker and Greg Fossilman not only legitimized online poker, they made the poker establishment realize that online gaming was the best way to quickly hone poker skills.
Moneymaker and Fossilman refined their talent and paid their dues online like so many other modern day players that participate daily and nightly on the best online poker websites, internet tournaments, internet satellite competitions and world wide poker events.
The web’s top-rated poker, casino and gaming websites are listed at:
http://www.MonteCarloGrandResort.comWest commented that “the development of new realistic gaming technologies, such as Viper gaming software have also helped the popularity of online poker and other computerized casino games.” These are featured at the Monte Carlo Grand Resort .com.
Chris Moneymaker, the improbable 2003 World Champion of the World Series Of Poker is a Tennessee restaurant controller that won his entry stake to the 2003 World Series of Poker by winning a $40 online poker tournament.
Moneymaker then sold two 20 percent stakes in his WSOP championship bid to his father, Mike Moneymaker, and to his friend, David Gamble, for $2,000 each. Chris Moneymaker used the $4,000 to finance his Las Vegas trip for the 2003 World Series of Poker at Binion’s Horseshoe Casino in Downtown Las Vegas.
With a story line and name that seem more like a movie script than reality, Moneymaker has inspired the imagination of online poker players around the globe. One tournament official commented that “when a completely unknown player dominates the world’s best at the sport’s premiere event, people are bound to take notice.” One observer of the large crowds at Binion’s for the 2004 World Series of Poker event remarked, “Golf wasn’t cool until Tiger Woods came along and poker wasn’t hip until Chris Moneymaker.”
Mike Moneymaker and Gamble each had interest in a half-million dollar share for their $2,000 investments in Chris Moneymaker.
Many of the up-and-coming poker players are cutting their competitive teeth with online poker tournaments and website gaming. This was even more evident this year with the increase in participants and unknowns that were playing toe-to-toe with the world’s elite players.
The internet has fostered a huge growth in the popularity of this sport and ESPN’s regular televised coverage of the World Series of Poker hasn’t hurt either. The coming together of these two forces has resulted in the world wide poker explosion.
The record-shattering 2004 World Series of Poker in Las Vegas drew more than 34,000 players via qualifying online satellite tournaments, internet events and website poker championships. The rising popularity of poker reflects the meteoric rise of online poker and poker as a popular televised sport.
Participation at the live 2004 World Series Of Poker event jumped to 2,576 paid entries from 839 entries in 2003, and 631 paid entries in 2002.
Tournament organizers expect the 2005 World Series of Poker to attract three times as many paid entrants as this year with tens of thousands participating in qualifying and tournaments with entry fee births. That would mean over 7,500 paid entrants in 2005, which would be a ten-fold increase in just three years.
The success of Chris Moneymaker, Greg Fossilman and other phenomenal online poker players in the World Series of Poker and other WPT events has inspired even more internet poker players to fully embrace this sport.
Many of the gaming and poker websites have great incentive bonuses for initial signups such as a $30 bonus with $30 deposited into your new account, or even amounts of $400 or $777 dollars for larger deposit amounts.
Monte Carlo Grand Resort .com offeres many different incentives of this kind for its various poker rooms and player budgets.
Many of the poker websites listed at the bottom of Monte Carlo Grand Resort .com have astonishing bonuses for initial account activation.
At the time of this writing, one Monte Carlo Grand Resort room even deposits $10 on your behalf for just downloading their gaming software. They will then add another $40, once you have opened an account and deposited $100.
Monte Carlo Grand Resort .com has several casino packages available for very small account activation amounts, so you can check each of their listed casino packages to find the best incentives for you.
