"Become a Poker Pro" tournament was won by Jim Davenport,
and investment bank analyst. He beat out a tough field on the
Royal Caribbean Majesty of the Seas this past weekend...
Davenport trailed the leaders for most of the tournament, but
dominated the action for the last hour.
Davenport called an all-in bet with A-Q after the flop came A-J-7
to win the tournament'. His opponent held Q-7, and the Ace on
the turn spelled his end. a
"I'm still feel very nervous," Davenport said. "I
believe in doing something that I am excited about in the mornings,
and now I have a new employer."
Davenport will receive a total prize package of $250,000 and
will be sponsored by PokerRoom.com
for the next year. He will receive $60,000 in cash, plus have
all his expenses covered in 12 tournaments, including the 2006
WSOP Main Event.
The "Become a Poker Pro" tournament saw all player
who had won satellites for poker tournaments in the last two years
compete. The tournament started online with 69 players, and players
carried their chip stacks into the final table that was played
live on the cruise ship. Davenport went into heads up trailing
1:2 in chips, and played power poker from there.
