TITANIC WIN FOR FRENCH PLAYER
Fort Knox s&g well named for this poker player
French poker player Remy Elkoubi, from Marseille, France, hit a Straight Flush that gave him a $100 000 jackpot prize at online poker room Titan Poker this week when he won six consecutive Fort Knox Jackpot Sit 'n' Go tournaments to qualify for the huge prize.
Elkoubi (who uses the 'handle' bennyking) had been playing at Titan Poker for less than a year when he hit the bigtime.
"I had tried to win this Jackpot a few times, but I never had any success until this beautiful day," he said. "I will remember this day for all of my life. I can barely recall the final game as I was under so much pressure -- but I remember the last hand. I won the Jackpot with the most beautiful hand -- a Straight Flush. A Straight Flush that earned me $100,000! I never believed that I could win this prize but the reality was different, the Fort Knox fortress is not untouchable!"
Elkoubi is the fifth Titan poker player to win the Fort Knox Jackpot in the past few months. In July, Guy Meridjen, also from France, took home $100 000. In April, Derrick Morin from Canada, Richard Stringer from the United Kingdom and Joseph Dulaney from Texas all won the Grand Prize. Derrick Morin had never even made a deposit when he hit the $100 000 Jackpot in a truly outstanding stroke of good fortune.
Buy-ins to the Fort Knox tournaments are $50 + $9. The Fort Knox Jackpot starts out at $50 000 and grows progressively by $10 000 each week if no player manages to win enough consecutive tournaments to take the prize. Any player who finishes in first or second place in six consecutive tournaments, but falls just short of winning the Grand Prize, will nonetheless be rewarded with a prize of $750.
