Teenager Took The Best Poker Player Title Of 2009
Poker player of the year is a great achievement by a person who wins it and is given to him or her for an awesome year in poker offline or online. Winning one rakeback tournament is a fantastic achievement but winning 6 is just tremendous. In 2009 Harrison Gimbel took the title of best player of the year because he won 6 poker tournaments online and offline. His wining for the year was approximately $3,000,000. That is a big margin for someone who is still a teenager at 19.
Gilber321 is his nickname in poker tournaments online. He started playing poker since he was 13 with his brother who I was 15 at the time. They played with their families and friends with only $10 to $20 buy in. Harrison’s biggest cash was in the PokerStars weekly tournament where he won $57,377.50 for second place with just $1000 buy in. He said he was never an online cash player and has always been in love with the live tournaments. He is still only 19 and still less experienced than other players who play in love poker tournaments. He says his favourite game is NLHE MTTS and his favourite poker players are Dario Minieri and Phil Ivey. He loves his oriental food and goes down to his local Chinese in a regular basis.
As I said earlier he won 6 tournamets in 2009, I have listed the name of the tournaments he won below. The Nightly Hundred Grand, $22,000 guarantee (1r+1a), $33,000 guarantee (1r+1a), $40,000 guarantee, $33,000 guarantee (r+1a) and $55+R NL Hold’em [$40,000 guaranteed]. In the summer of 2009 he won the 2009 Florida State Poker Championships. Recently in 2010 he went home with 2010 Pokerstars Caribbean Adventure Main event title. It looks like he is one player to watch out for in next few years as he is definitely on the up.
He also had good finishes in ten other tournaments by finish 2nd 5 times and 3rd 5 times. He is also going to be participating in tournaments of rakeback deals and full tilt poker in next few months of 2010.
