Bet365poker has paid out $1,000,000 to the winner of their inaugural Leaderboard Challenge.
16 players battled it out at bet365poker for the winner-takes-all $1,000,000 pot on offer. After close to 4 hours of play, Stephen Widdett of Norwich, Norfolk, playing under the alias “CaptnCanary” eventually saw off all the competition from around the world to win!
bet365 had 5 cash game Leaderboards on offer during 2006, covering everything from 5c tables right up to the $200 tables, plus one for tournament players.
Stephen qualified as the annual winner of $2.50 -$4.99 league and has been Mr Consistent on his favoured NL game on $2/$4 tables as he had also won the monthly league for November and had numerous wins on the weekly Leaderboard. A professional player, he has been an active bet365 poker player since January 2005.
bet365 are ecstatic to be paying a cheque out for a life changing sum of $1,000,000 and are anticipating many opportunities for similar pay-outs across all its range of products!
