The 250K Glory Story

From Rags to Riches @ FortunePoker.com...

As a full-time poker player in London, Darren truly understands the ups and downs of the game.   At a time where he is remodelling his kitchen, a cost that many of us know can go through the roof, money became tight and the likelihood of playing a decent poker tournament wasn't in the cards.  Then Darren was introduced to James, the manager of Fortune Poker.

"My mate, Mega-Me, who frequently plays Omaha on Fortune, said there was a lot of dead money and asked if I wanted to give it a go.



I played on Poker Stars, Party Poker, Paradise Poker... but, didn't like it. Then I met James, someone who actually cares about what you do"

That is when Darren created an account at Fortune Poker, and is now known as frequency9. 

Knowing that Darren had some solid skill at the tables, Fortune Poker decided to sponsor him into a 300 freezeout tournament in London.   Darren’s skill prevailed as he placed 4th, taking down 2000 GBP!  Only a few days later, the 250,000 guaranteed freezeout was taking place where both Mega-Me & frequency9 decided to join in on the action. 

"I played tight-aggressive poker and got my head about me..."  Frequency9 soared to the final table, but found himself as the short-stack.  "Before you know it, BANG, BANG, BANG, 4 people are out and I’ve accumulated a lot of chips!" 

Darren successfully played the final table, turning up his aggression, and before long he was heads-up as a 4-1 underdog.  While the game didn’t end in Darren’s favour, he placed 2nd in the 250,000 guaranteed tournament and took home 39,000 euros!

"I started with nothing, and 1 week later, I have over 40,000 thanks to FortunePoker.com.  I won’t play at any other site!"

The beauty of this story for Darren is not just the money, but the fact that he now has a home for Online Poker.  "I have played at other sites, but at the end of the day, they don’t care.  Fortune Poker does, and James is a different class"

We are so proud of the success Darren has had in his first week at Fortune Poker.  This is what it is all about: Providing the utmost customer service to our players, and watching them succeed!
