Global Poker’s Eagle Cup Has Huge Opening Week With Record Fields

The Eagle Cup, which is the first leg of the Global Poker Championships, has gotten off to a huge start. The $1.25 million guarantee online tournament series has proven to be another hit for Global Poker, the world’s fastest growing online poker site.

The action began with a SC$10,000 freeroll and attracted a massive 2,667 players. In the end, the title and the SC$1,565 first-place prize went to ‘Atarimaster’ along with the first ever Global Poker Champions Pack. The package, which is sent to all Eagle Cup winners, includes an engraved trophy, a t-shirt, and cap.

‘Atarimaster’ won the tournament with an ace on the river when his A-7 got there against the pocket kings of ‘Joe161’.

Global Poker received some attention in the past from huge overlays, but that hasn’t been the case at the Eagle Cup, where entries have more than doubled up on the guarantees during the first week of the series.

‘Stella Blue’ currently sits atop the leaderboard with 320 points, but there is plenty of time to work your way up the rankings. The eventual winner of the Eagle Cup leaderboard will get the chance to be the very first player to represent Global Poker in a live event of their choice. Whether you decide to go to Las Vegas, or Atlantic City, or somewhere in between, Global Poker will hook you up with entry fees, travel and hotel accommodations as you battle it out on the real felt.

The next week of the Eagle Cup will feature the sites first ever fixed-limit tournament, and a big ante tournament where the antes go up instead of the blinds. Join the action in the fastest-growing poker room in the world with Global Poker.
