Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB via PRWebDirect) October 14, 2005 -- Full Tilt Poker's professional representatives are continuing their fine performances in major tournaments, with Steve Brecher and John Juanda each making a final table appearance at last week's United States Poker Championship at the Trump Taj Mahal in Atlantic City.
Brecher's third-place finish marks the fourth final-table appearance of his career, and his best overall showing in a major tournament. His performance earned him a total of $218,250, brining his total winnings for the 2005 season to nearly $280,000. Prior to his United States Poker Championship performance, Brecher's best result came in the 2004 Bellagio Five-Star World Poker Classic/WPT Championship tournament where he finished sixth and earned $232,862.
Team Full Tilt member John Juanda's fifth-place finish at the United States Poker Championship marks his third final-table appearance of the 2005 season, and his second final table in the past two months. Juanda's $98,213 payday brings his yearly winnings to more than $586,000.
“Over the last two years, there are few players who have finished in the money at Championship events more than Steve Brecher,” said Team Full Tilt member Howard Lederer. “One of those players is John Juanda, who might just have the best overall record in tournament play over the past five years.”
Brecher and Juanda represent one of the fastest growing online poker sites, www.FullTiltPoker.com, and spend several hours a week online helping amateur players learn the game by sharing their poker knowledge through real-time chats at the virtual tables.
