The Global Poker Rattlesnake Open may be over, but one player still has an opportunity to add to his winnings. Kevin ‘BUYMEDINNER’ Pahl finished atop the series leaderboard, winning an exclusive tournament package to represent Global Poker in the live arena.

A college soccer coach by day, Pahl has spent his nights for the better part of a year on the site, usually competing in the sit-n-gos.

“When I first started on the site, I had heard good things about Global Poker so I wanted to give it a go," Pahl said. "I played around a bit and at the start of the year I had SC$10 on the site. I played some SC$1 sit-n-gos, these were going well so I moved up to the SC$6 ones. I worked on my game and before I knew it I was playing the SC$20s and am now playing a wide range of the sit-n-gos quite regularly.”

The sit-n-go player turned to tournaments for the Rattlesnake Open, as part of the Global Poker Championships, and the move proved to be profitable. Now he will take his game to Las Vegas to compete in the World Series of Poker and the Wynn Summer Classic.

Kevin Pahl and His Wife Maggie“Global Poker has been great to me,” Pahl said. “I am really happy. Sure, there are other sites out there but I don’t really like them. Global Poker has been 100 percent fantastic! As well as the games being good, the people on Global Poker are really friendly. I chat with a lot of people on the site when I play and it makes things really enjoyable, everyone seems really nice.”

So far, every player that Global Poker has sent to a live tournament has made the money. Can Pahl keep the streak up? With the support of his wife he believes he can.

“My wife is my biggest supporter. She has always been supportive of my ambitions. We met in college and I used to go and play poker every weekend in North Carolina. She was always intrigued with how I kept coming home with more money. I took her with me one weekend to see what it was all about and she loved it. She has been supporting me ever since. She helps me to stay focused and to ensure that I don’t tilt (too badly).”

If you’re ready to win like Kevin, don’t wait, sign up for Global Poker today and get started playing.


Join the action in the fastest-growing poker room in the world with Global Poker.

If you have been around poker players in the United States lately then you have probably heard about Global Poker. The new kid on the block as far as online poker sites go has taken the poker world by storm. After launching, Global Poker has cemented itself among the top 10 sites worldwide for player volume and as the fastest growing site for US players.

It doesn’t matter what your stake or preference is, Global Poker has something for you. Using their virtual currency of $weeps Cash players can enjoy both full ring and shorthanded games from stakes of $0.02-$0.04 right up to $10-$20 in both Texas hold’em and Omaha.

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. Gold Coins work much the same as play money chips on other poker sites, meaning that you can accumulate them and use them in different games but they can never be redeemed for real money.

As a way to promote the sale of Gold Coins, players are given bonus sweepstakes prizes by way of $weeps Cash with every Gold Coin purchase that they make. The $weeps Cash can be used to buy into the $weeps Cash tournaments and ring games, however, any of these that are accumulated or won can be cashed out through PayPal as real cash prizes.
