Player Earns European Trip

March 30, 2008

Pacific Poker is sending Canadian player Dave Moreau over the Atlantic next month after he won a spot in the European Poker Tour San Remo Tournament.

 Moreau, who plays at Pacific Poker under the name of “dave4008”, earned enough points on the site to earn himself a spoke in the EPT San Remo event, which begins April 1^st, 2008. The seat is worth 5,000 Euros.

Moreau just started playing online poker sixth months ago and got serious in the last two months, playing up to for times a week.

The prize package for Moreau, 40, includes the tournament buy-in plus money for travel and hotel stay.

San Remo is a popular resort in Liguria on Italy’s northwest coast. San Remo is also widely accepted as the birthplace of the five-card stud variation “Telesina”. It is dealt like normal five-card stud but with an additional final round where a sixth community card is dealt. The game is played with a stripped deck (8s and better).

Moreau said winning the Pacific freeroll may have gotten him ready for the EPT event. He told Pokerlistings.com that he expects “a lot of European players, and they are usually pretty good players I find.”

The freeroll field included players from Italy, France and Germany. Moreau won in the end against grandp57 from Italy. 

 ”My winning hand was A-J against A-2,” Moreau said. “My opponent was on the big blind, so I think I raised about three times the big blind, and then my opponent went all-in, so I called.”

Neither got any help from the flop, the turn or the river, which was a seven.

“I was now getting a lot more nervous, but the river was a seven,” Moreau said. “I then celebrated with my son. I was very excited that I will have the opportunity to play in such a huge tournament such as the San Remo EPT event.”

Moreau said he will be playing even more on Pacific Poker. Who knows where else he could end up with another run through a tournament?

“I think it is a great poker room,” Moreau said about Pacific Poker. “You sometimes get soft competition. The guaranteed tournament pools are very good.”

Moreau is just another success story from the online game rooms and show that with a just a little bit of playing time behind you, any players can find themselves at a high stakes event anywhere in the world.
