Indiana Amateur Poker Player Wins Six Global Poker Eagle Cup Titles

Last month, Nathan ‘Penta’ Blair made history when he won an astonishing SIX tournaments during the inaugural Eagle Cup on Global Poker.

As a result, the New Albany, Indiana poker enthusiast finished atop the leaderboard, winning a $5,000 live tournament package that includes $3,500 in tournament buy-ins and $1,500 in travel and accommodation.

“I didn’t win anything for the first couple of weeks,” Blair said. “I didn’t give up and I just played my game. When I started putting some good results together it became very interesting. It was really exciting to slowly start moving up the leaderboard”. The key for me was to stay focused and to not lose my cool when I got a bad beat. There are always other opportunities to make a comeback."

Blair, who works in event management, will be traveling to Harrah’s Casino in Cherokee, North Carolina for the upcoming World Series of Poker Circuit series.

“I love tournaments so this is fantastic,” Blair added. “I normally just play online at Global Poker or some home games with friends so this is a great opportunity."

The Eagle Cup was the first part of the Global Poker Championships, and a big reason why Global Poker is the fastest growing card room in the world.

“Global Poker has been great, I have been playing there pretty consistently since July,” Blair said. “It is really easy to get in games and lots of fun to be able to play from home against so many different players. It is really easy to cash out your winnings. Being able to use PayPal is really nice."

You may be asking yourself “what is $weeps Cash and what is it about them that has made Global Poker the most popular new site among US poker players?” The good news is that it is actually a simple process which more and more players are using to play for real cash prizes.

You can jump onto the Global Poker website and purchase a virtual currency called Gold Coins using your PayPal account. You can then use these Gold Coins to enter into ring games, sit n go’s and tournaments.
