July 16, 2008 -- With his win still rippling throughout the Poker world, 21-year old amateur poker enthusiast Michael Schwaiger has defied the odds and proved that you don't need to be a veteran of the tables to win big with Titan Poker, the largest online poker room on the iPoker Network.

When the last cards fell in his favor at Sunday's $250,000 Guaranteed Prize tournament, Michael found himself face to face with his lifelong dream of becoming a Poker Pro. First introduced to Titan Poker through the 'Refer A Friend' program, the 21-year old played hard to refine his game and attain Titan Poker VIP status. As testimony to an unswerving combination of skill, perseverance and hope, he is now celebrating over $52,500 in prize winnings less than a year and a half after joining.

The winnings have provided a welcome relief from his office day job, but instead of booking in for vacation days, Michael has his eye on greater aspirations. When asked what was in store for his new and rather sizeable bank account, he answered "Sure I'll make a couple of purchases with my winnings, but I plan to leave enough money in my Titan Poker account to participate in their other great tournaments. I would love to qualify for a live tournament like the Irish Open or the EPT Madrid, and finally pursue my dream of becoming a Poker Pro!"

Michael is just one of many Titan Poker players who have realized their dreams at the popular online poker room. He is not alone on the road to poker stardom. Seventeen hopeful players convened recently at the Las Vegas 2008 World Series of Poker compliments of Titan Poker. And there's more to come. Titan Poker has recently announced its Sun City Million Dollar Poker Tournament prize packages, which offer players a chance at the $1,500,000 Guaranteed prize pool tournament in South Africa for satellite buy-ins as low as $1.5 $0.15. Winners will also be treated to a week's Spa entry, a round of Golf, Safari game drives, hot-air balloon rides and rock concert tickets.
