The action has really been heating up at the top online casino poker site Party Poker. Just recently one event ended up with a lucky and skillful player leaving the scene with an astonishing $158,000. Considering the fact that this player put down only $136 in order to compete in this casino competition, that is some very generous return for his investment. The player, who hails from Italy, was able to finish up in the third of slot at this incredible week-long event that took place at the time at resort within the heart of Las Vegas. He was more than happy to collect his share of the $1.5 million prize pool.

Since this event was sponsored by Party Poker, this was a particularly sweet achievement for the player who qualified through the same poker site. The top prize of this event was an incredible $476,000. That prize went to a French player. But keep in mind that the runner-up did not leave the scene brokenhearted since they were able to take home $258,000 as well.

For this Party Poker player, this was an astonishing turn of events. This will definitely boost the level of player traffic that comes onto this casino gambling site for sometime to come. For fans of online casinos and poker rooms, this is the sort of dream come true. The opportunity to play and win a victory at one of your favorite poker sites and then moving all the way to Las Vegas for in-person tournament competition is truly a remarkable achievement. I sure wouldn’t turn down the sort of opportunity. And the money that was at stake was unbeatable.
