Titan Poker announced that Simon Leetsaar, a student from Sweden, is the third player to qualify for The Tournament Titan.
With its $1,000,000 guaranteed prize pool, the Tournament Titan is the richest Sit and Go tournament ever played online. Only 20 players will qualify for the Tournament Titan, meaning that every seat is worth $50,000.
Some of the best tournament players online are being drawn in to play poker like moths to a flame, with the massive prize money on the line. The competition was launched by Titan Poker to find the world's best and most consistent poker tournament player.
In order to qualify, Titan Poker players need to make the final table 3 consecutive times at any of the poker room's participating tournament. The first 20 players to earn a spot in The Tournament Titan will be guaranteed a share of the $1,000,000 in prizes.
Leetsaar, who goes by the nickname "simaar", bagged his seat at The Tournament Titan by landing at the final table consecutively at the site's $2,000 Guaranteed Prize Freezeout and at 2 of the $5,000 guaranteed tournaments that took place over a period of 3 days. Leetsaar has been playing at Titan Poker for just 6 weeks.
Leetsaar claims that, "Reaching the Tournament Titan is absolutely the biggest thing that has ever happened to me. I am so very delighted and I cannot thank you enough for giving me the opportunity to play in this great tournament".
