The recent World Poker Series ended in spectacular fashion in Las Vegas recently, with the youngest ever winner taking the World Poker Crown and landing an impressive $9.15 million for the first prize. Peter Eastgate from Denmark triumphed over the Russian player Ivan Demidov after a grueling 5 hour head-to-head match, busting apart the Russian’s game in the final hand.
Ivan Demidov received a modest $5.8 million for finishing in second place, and has certainly made his mark on the Poker circuit by becoming the only player ever to win a seat at the final table in both the US and European legs of the World Poker Series tour.
This year’s $9.15 million first prize is the second highest in World Poker Series history, only beaten by the $12 million first prize earned by champion Jamie Gold in the 2006 World Series of Poker finals.

When you play poker in online casinos or poker sites, you will invariably lose money, no matter how good you are. Therefore it can be a good idea to subscribe to a rakeback deal. This will mean when you do lose, you could get a percentage of that money back again. Many online casino and poker sites offer rakeback deals- for e.g. ThisIsTheNuts rakeback offers rakeback deals on many of the top poker rooms, so it is important to look around until you find one that suits your game play.
Typically poker sites/rooms make their money from the rake, which is a percentage extracted from of each pot played. Rakeback is a refund to the players, where they receive a percentage back from the rake they originally played to the poker/casino site. Most rakeback deals are around 25 to 40%, so for example if you subscribe to a 20% rakeback deal and you pay $1000 in rake in one month, you would receive $200 back again.
With most rakeback deals, poker sites will require that you sign up through an affiliate site, which means if you are already a member of the poker site, you may not be able to apply. Once you have signed up to an affiliate site, you will be linked back through to the relevant poker site, who will then pay a percentage of your rake to the affiliate site. Then according to the deal you signed up to, the affiliate site will then return a percentage of that money to you.
There are a good number of affiliate websites, but you must ensure that you are signing up with a reputable site that will actually pay you all your rakeback earnings. ThisIsTheNuts.com features a list of reputable rakeback affiliate services, and also the top 5 best rakeback deals that are currently offered, which should help you find a good deal that suits your game play. They also run exclusive rake races for their referrers and top players can win cash prizes worth $75k every month.
It is also important to note that most rakeback deals apply to cash only games and not tournaments, so if you are mainly a tournament player rakeback deals will probably not benefit you.
