Pornstar2000 paid off in PL.com freeroll

Prize money

By Sarah Polson

The money keeps rolling in for PokerListings.com players at Full Tilt Poker. Two more weeks gone by means two more winners of free cash.

This week's winner was Pornstar2000, known in real life as Andrew Urquhart , who took time out from his university student life to play in the $3,000 weekly freeroll hosted by PokerListings.com and Full Tilt Poker.

Urquhart has been playing for two years and currently plays about four times a week, usually visiting Full Tilt Poker about three times per week.

"I think it's a great site, lots of loose players who will give their money away at the lower levels," Urquhart said.

Urquhart got into poker because he was attracted to the psychology of the game - how you can trap and play other players out of all their chips.

"It just seemed like so much fun and a good challenge," he said.

Though normally a cash game player, Urquhart said he may have to start playing more tournaments after this win. This was his biggest tournament win so far.

"I am very pleased with my win," he said. "I felt I made all the correct decisions and only had my money in bad twice. Once with pocket eights against queens where I sucked out (final table), and one bluff with A-K against sevens and I hit an ace on the turn."

The final-table results are as follows:

Place Name Prize
1st Pornstar2000 $735
2nd TheDoud $475.50
3rd Strict 9s $337.50
4th AxisB $262.50
5th razyer21 $195
6th JKLivin77 $142.50
7th LivnDaDream $93
8th flatbroke101 $72
9th Jebah $57

Urquhart plans to use his freeroll winnings to buy a laptop computer. Then he'll be able to play poker anywhere and continue to check out PokerListings.com, which he says he visits about once a week.

"I think it's a great site to learn about all the different poker rooms and find out which ones are reliable and which ones are kind of shady," Urquhart said.

Joining Pornstar2000 on the winners list at Full Tilt Poker and PokerListings.com is deadmoney722 who won the Oct. 27 $3,000 weekly freeroll.

The final-table results of that event are:

Place Name Prize
1st deadmoney722 $735
2nd coke1978 $457.50
3rd keith1980 $337.50

5th torpish $195
6th lvoffthedge $142.50
7th jalpal $93
