Amateur Qualifier Wins World Speed Open

He Won His Way in From a $3 Satellite

Print-icon
 
Oliver Boyce turned a $3 satellite on PaddyPowerPoker.com into about $88,000 and the title of World Speed Open Champion 2005.

"Ollie" Boyce was only one of many players who qualified for the tournament on PaddyPokerPoker.com. After all, each table of six was purposefully filled with three Internet qualifiers and three pros. The players were given 15 seconds to
deliberate on each hand. Two dealers even worked the table, with one handing out cards and the other shuffling the deck.

The tournament was held toward the end of September in London.
