If you are up on your knowledge of what has been taking place at your favorite online casinos then you are well aware that this weekend saw big things happen over at Full Tilt Poker. A poker player by the name of Steve Gross managed to beat out some 5,325 other casino players in the hugely exciting Full Tilt Poker Series. Gross came away with a cool $275,000. Gross is well known in the world of online casinos and few spectators of fellow competitors were taken at all by surprise by his phenomenal performance.

This weekend brought the eighth, ninth and tenth events of this premium international poker competition. And Gross showed everybody just exactly what he was capable of when he knocked out a player called BUSTYU79 heads up in the big event. It cost $322 to enter in to the Texas Hold’em contest, but Gross was able to get his money back, and then some.

Gross has managed to become a well-known figure in both the online casino poker world and in the live poker competition field and that is an achievement that eludes many powerful and highly skilled players. Back during 2008 he worked hard and ended up finishing in eighth place in a $1,000 re-buy No-Limit Hold’em tournament that was part of the World Series of Poker. He was able to take home $57,000 for that impressive performance and, if this weekend is any evidence, he has no plans to retire from the game of poker any time soon. He has been performing well at events all over the place for quite awhile.
