A Massachusetts man won a years supply of cake and $10,000 in Poker.com's
recent "birthday tournament." A year after Poker.com launched their online
poker software they celebrated by rewarding their players with a unique
promotion. 694 Poker.com players took their seat and lined up for a shot at
$50,000 in prizes plus a year's supply of cake. After over 7 hours of play,
and by his own admission through a little luck, P0kerFaceB0uy, a 26-year-old
student from Lawrence, Massachusetts was the last man standing.

"P0kerFaceB0uy had the following to say on his win: "I just kept telling
myself it's like any other final table, play the cards, play the players.
About halfway through I had enough of a chip lead to try to bluff a big pot
with nothing after the flop. Got called with my pants down (9-10) and hit a
K high straight with a J on the river. It was turning from conservative to
aggressive play at final table, combined with incredible luck that let me
win. Poker.com has the best tournaments and competition I've found on-line.
I love playing against the crowd here. It was just my lucky day."
