A Canadian Online Gambler Has Just Won the Weekly PokerStars Online Tournament

March 22, 2014

PokerStars is one of the most well-known online poker sites in the world, one that is also very popular with Canadian online gamblers. Each week, PokerStars runs a regular online poker tournament, and last week the winner was an online poker player from Canada.

The name of the Canadian online gambler who has won the weekly PokerStars online poker tournament is Mike McDonald. Mike walked away with a cool $56,000 as a reward for winning.

Mike is a regular at PokerStars online poker events, one of the most consistent Canadian online gamblers around. So consistent in fact, that he has earned the nick name Timex. A young 24 year old online poker player, who is currently rated by the Global Poker Index as the player of the year, a position that is predicted that he will keep next year as well.

So far, this famous Canadian online gambler has netted in excess of $4 million in winnings, playing in both online poker and offline poker events around the globe. He also won both the Aussie Millions tournament and the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure this year.

So in many ways, this $56,000 win during last week’s PokerStars online poker tournament was small potatoes, but it does go to show that it is still possible to win fairly large amounts of money playing online poker, even though real world events often have far greater prize pools.

Canadian online gamblers, who would like to follow the example of Mike, could do worse than start their new online poker career at PokerStars. One of the oldest, and most respected online poker sites around, PokerStars has a great reputation for being an awesome online poker site for new players. The combination of low wager games, as well as some great resources to help Canadian online gamblers who are new to online poker learn the ropes, works well. We also like the regular sit and go tournaments, with dozens of these taking place each day. Indeed, PokerStars is arguably the most lively online poker site out there, although Full Tilt Poker and Party Poker are also recommended online poker sites for Canadian online gamblers. So well done to Timex for grabbing last week’s top prize at the weekly PokerStars online poker tournament, and we hope to see more Canadian online gamblers hitting a winning place in these kinds of tournaments in the future. They are quite cheap to enter and good fun to play.
