Two Betfair gamers hit Pokerfecta challenge
10th April, 2008
Two online gaming enthusiasts at Betfair Poker have received a $5,500 (£2,750) prize for accomplishing the operator's Pokerfecta challenge.
Earlier this year, Betfair offered its members an exclusive bonus if they succeed in winning three consecutive multi-table online poker tournaments - a feat which no-one achieved for months.
But in just one week in March, two online poker enthusiasts rose to the challenge and have now been awarded their cash prizes.
Hedger43 notched up two wins in a $1,000 Guaranteed Super Turbo event, before rounding off his victories with success in a $600 Guaranteed Turbo, while JONBUCHAN came up trumps in three $1,000 Guaranteed Super Turbos for his win.
"I was delighted to win once I'd won the first two tournaments," commented Hedger43. "However, I was gutted when I heard I had to share it - fair play to JONBUCHAN though, he deserves it! If he wants to go heads-up for the other $5,500, I'm up for it!"
