The Title Of The 2009 Poker Player Of The Year Was Given To
Poker player of year trophy is given to a person who has an outstanding year in poker tournaments online and offline. To win one online poker tournament is a tremendous achievement but winning 6 in a year is just great. Last year Harrison Gimbel of USA won 6 poker tournaments offline and online and deservedly took away the title of player of the year. His winning for the whole year was around 3 Million dollars. That is a big margin for someone who is still a teenager at 19.
He is known as gilber321 in online poker tournaments. He started playing poker since his early teens with his brother who also was in his teens only 2 years older than Harrison. They started playing against their friends and families with just $10 buy in. Harrison won his biggest cash prize of $57,377.50 in PokerStars weekly tournament for coming second and his buy in was $1000. He said he was never an online cash player and has always been in love with the live tournaments. He is still only 19 and still less experienced than other players who play in love poker tournaments. He says his poker idols are Dario Minieri and Phil Ivey and his favorite game is NLHE MTTS. He goes down to his local chinese restaurant every week as he loves chinese food.
As I said earlier he won 6 tournamets in 2009, I have listed the name of the tournaments he won below. The Nightly Hundred Grand, $22,000 guarantee (1r+1a), $33,000 guarantee (1r+1a), $40,000 guarantee, $33,000 guarantee (r+1a) and $55+R NL Hold’em [$40,000 guaranteed]. In June 2009 he won the 2009 Florida State Poker Championships. Recently In January he won the 2010 PokerStars Caribbean Adventure Main event. It definitely seems like this guy is definitely climbing the steps quickly and other players should watch out for him.
He also finished second and third 5 times in ten other tournaments in 2009. He said he will be participating in many tournaments which includes rakeback deals and full tilt poker in next few months.
