It's not only at Full Tilt Poker and PokerStars one can find interesting high stakes games going. At the end of 2010, a player called nveragan won €354,000 from his opponent luckexpre on the Entraction Network (KickOffPoker, youwin poker etc). The game took place on a €150/300 Pot Limit Omaha table and many pots reached €60,000. The game only lasted for 1 hour and 45 minutes and they only played 300 hands.
