The first HLTV.org poker tournament in cooperation with XLBET Poker, the $1.000 Free-roll, finished after 4 hours and 49 minutes of poker.
The tournament saw 173 signups, with interesting names on the attendees list. HLTV.org had four staff members attending, being Nomad, Nix0n, MIRAA and Martin. Of known Counter-Strike profiles, two Norwegians attended, being Vertigo and RashiiE, Danish mTw member zonic, Pink Zinic coach AurorA, DTS.chatrix member Johnta and fnatic’s GeT_RiGhT.
It should however not be any of these names winning the tournament. 30 year old Egidijus Valiulis from Lithuania, who’s married and got 2 children, went all the way winning the tournament with following hand:

"Tourney went not too smooth for me, I lost some chips in the beginning of a game, but I tried to wait for my hand and it worked. Couple of all-ins and here we go. I was in the middle of the pack, and then I've got really nice hands in the end, which helped me to win this fascinating tournament.While I was playing, I was watching Nomad, Nix0n, MIRAA playing at their tables. I'm very thankful for hltv.org staff for organizing this tourney in cooperation with XLBet Poker. It was fun to compete against top cs players at the poker tables HLTV.org is by far my favorite website concerning cs scene news, demos and so on.I would love to participate in future tournaments, even with a small buy-in required" – said a very happy Egidijus Valiulis
