More Betfair biggies

Betfair Poker is continuing to make the headlines with some extraordinary wins, indicating seriously big action on the site.

This week player Giorgio34 scored bigtime in a $250/$500 Pot-Limit Omaha that enabled him to walk away with a $420 000 winner's pot and a growing reputation for cool, skill and audacity over the duration of the two and a half hour game.

Following a low rake strategy, the site is attracting growing numbers of serious players who have noticed that the maximum rake per pot on the $250/$500 No-Limit Hold'em tables is only $1.

With increasing interest in the high stakes action encountered on the site, and a secure and reliable payment system more customers are turning out for the big games, according to Betfair's head of poker, Ben Fried.
