Party Poker Big Game have a winner!

VIFFER an US Professional was undoubtedly the major winner at the Big Game IV organized by Partypoker dot com. The dude’s full name is David ‘Viffer’ Peat which finished nearly £150,000 in profit, a record for the Big Game

Viffer said at the end of the 48 hour marathon, “I am still ready to play, can’t we go on for longer?”. It made me laugh.

Another new innovation was the player walk-ons (when the dudes comes into the play scene..) with Tony G’s ‘Bicycle Race’ entrance and Roland De Wolfe’s howling ‘Hungry Like The Wolf’ curtain raiser particularly memorable. The rest weren’t as funny as this two.

The Big Game gets bigger and even more huge every year. As you know the Mysterious online high stakes legend Isildur1 pulled out of the Party Poker Big Game, Tony G said he was a pussy, basically.

Then Tom Dwan aka Durrrr decided to go battleground against Mister Phil Ivey, playing $500/$1000 pot-limit Omaha match. only in 462 Durrr lost $423.000 against ivey, ROFLMAO. I hate this guys.
