Titan Poker makes poker dream come true. Player wins $27k in his very first tournament

Little did Reimer Koester from Germany know that signing up to Titan Poker on July 31st would soon be jotted down among the best financial moves of his life. Right after he signed up, he registered for Titan Poker $250,000 Guaranteed tournament which would take place on Aug 3rd. In the tournament, Koester managed to best around 2,000 opponents, falling in the heads-up stage of the game to finish second. His second place finish in the very first tournament he played at Titan Poker made him $27,000, proving once and for all that the online poker dream so many rookies start off with every single day can indeed turn into reality. Another point that this story proves though is that one has to be prepared to invest in order to come to expect to reap any significant benefits. Sure, others have done it having started off zero (like Annette Obrestad) but such bankroll building is done over a considerable stretch of time, and many people simply do not possess the patience or the ability to persevere.
Reimer Koester wasn’t the only one to walk away from Titan Poker with a huge prize under his belt. Alexander Jung and Artem Khardaverdiev have also had motives to feel extremely content: they both won a APT Macau package at Titan. Khardaverdiev picked up his package through the VIP race hosted by Titan Poker, while Jung won it via the online satellites offered.
Other APT Macau package winners were Hong Hai Chan from Australia and Antonio Naves from Spain.
The $ 250,000 event that gave Reimer Koester his first substantial cash costs $200+$15 to buy into directly. There are satellites running for it on a daily basis though that cost much less than that. There are about $16 million up for grabs in guaranteed prizes each month at Titan Poker. Players will also get the opportunity to participate in large-scale live events through the site.
September will bring along a $2.5 million guaranteed at Titan poker, so this is indeed a good time to sign up to the poker room.
