31 online poker rooms on the Prima
Poker network provided plenty of action and $250 bounties in a
promo involving the network's signature professionals, The Hendon
Mob last week.
In the "Beat the Mob" Tournament of 2005, poker players
from around the world were given the chance to go heads up with the
poker playing foursome online, testing the poker skills of the network’s
best and bravest players.
With a $250 bounty placed on each of the ‘Mob’ members,
players sought to take them down one flop at a time and join the ranks
of those that dared to take on the Mob, and won!
377 players participated in the event, which was finally won by a
player known as ‘sp33dy’. Three other players were skilled
enough to ‘Beat the Mob’. Barney Boatman, known by millions
as ‘The Voice of Poker’ for his role as the commentator
for ‘Late Night Poker’ on Fox Sports Net, was knocked
out by ‘Optlagony’ while ‘Rocky’ Ross Boatman
was bounced out of play by ‘Boing’. Finally, ‘Mattressman’
made neat work of Joe ‘The Elegance’ Beevers, a former
investment banker and current Irish Open champion.
