Online Poker Championship Sees Back to Back Wins

By launchpoker, Sep 30, 2006

It used to be that poker players would first make a name for themselves, and then be assigned a nickname by their peers; these days it seems the nicknames come first, especially online. During the Poker Stars World Championship of Online Poker the tables are filled with odd sounding names, but the online handles did nothing to detract from the quality of play. One player in particular rose about the rest in a recent event, as Kwob20 snared a second WCOOP win in back to back events. Kwob20, known as Kyle Bowker in the real world, is only the second two time winner so far (along with Spawng) and the only one to make back to back titles in WCOOP history.
