A 23 year-old Swede by the handle of chomp chomp has given himself the opportunity to be crowned poker’s first Grand Slam Champion following his victory in the inaugural $10 Grand Slam Tournament on VC Poker.com.

Cooly riding a pair of nines to victory in a final table showdown that saw his opponent awaiting a straight draw that never materialized, chompchomp’s victory nets him $19,526 in first place winnings. More importantly, he now moves one step closer to history as the hunt continues for online poker’s richest prize – the $10 Million Grand Slam.
In addition to chompchomp, who is now eligible for every major prize in the Grand Slam payout arsenal, 3 other VC Poker players (Epsilon from Sweden, Dow-Sun from Newcastle and gango from Israel) remain in contention for Grand Slam prizes ranging from $5 Million to pro player sponsorship by VC Poker. All that’s required is a final table finish in any of the three remaining Grand Slam events in December to secure their status as sponsored players with VC Poker.com. You can rest assured however, this quartet of Grand Slam qualifiers still have their sights focused squarely on the million dollar prizes still up for grabs and any thought of pro sponsorship will have to wait until the final results are in from all 4 events in the $10 Million Grand Slam. |
