Star Partner wins at iGSOP 2011!

Over 2500 people were invited to the iGSOP (iGaming Series of Poker) tournament which was held in Dublin this May 2011. Only 64 iGaming industry executives and affiliates battled it out for a 2 day super show down of Texas Hold'em Poker on the live expo floor. When it came down to the crunch it was Star Partner's Chief Operating Officer, Amit Cohen who walked away with the grand prize at the iGSOP (iGaming Series of Poker).

Amit Cohen told us about some of the make-or-break moments that happened at the Final Table and he gave us a run-down of the winning hand!

"I was dealt J-Q of Spades on the Small Blind. Blinds were sitting at $7k / $15k.

"Flop: A, J, 10" - My opponent was first to talk and immediately went all in. I figured if he had a strong Ace he would have gone all in Pre-Flop and if he had 2 Pairs or a Straight he would have slow played the hand. Since I had twice the stack I had to call.

"After I made the call he turned over K-9 Off-Suit, which I felt really comfortable with.

"Turn: K

"River: 3

"I had the top Straight and took the tournament down.

“The iGSOP was a well-run and exciting tournament filled with loads of cool characters and “Crazy Poker”. I look forward to the next challenging tournament, so that I can once again represent Star Partner and let our team stand proud. Thank you to the hosts and sponsors it really was a good one!”
