Poker.ca – Dreams come true from final hand vow

Many poker players make a vow to something on their final hand – get a pizza, drinks at the casino bar, God. But rarely do those promises involve buying a website. In this instance, popular online Canadian gaming domain Poker.ca. What makes this case all the more juicy is the identity of the winner/buyer – or perhaps more accurately the lack thereof.

Despite buying the domain for a phenomenal $400,000, the face behind this crafty consumer remains anonymous. The private poker game where these fortunes were apparently won and lost was an exclusive one, which played host to some of the poker-playing elite from around the world. Whether the buyer is a professional player himself is uncertain at this point, but it does seem a likely possibility.

In an exclusive interview with his new website, he stated that the buy was a follow-through promise made on his final hand; that prize money gained from the event would be put towards the purchase of www.Poker.ca. Such a statement may be a hint that the buyer had been saving up for a while in order to place his bid, or it may have been a wild impulse. Until his true identity is revealed, we can only speculate.

Even a passing look at the website itself can explain why it was able to command such a high purchase price. The website is well laid-out, with easily accessible drop-down menus and clearly-marked tabs. The home page moves with vivid colour and eye-catching displays. The domain serves a duel purpose, acting as both a news source and providing visitors with a wealth of tips and tricks for the games provided.

Whether lucky madman or shrewd business impresario, poker fans can only wait for the identity of Poker.ca’s new maestro to be unveiled.
