On March 5th, while passengers on the cruse ship Majesty of the Seas were ordering drinks, splashing around the pool, and working on their tans, 25 year old Jim Davenport was inside, working on something else:
Winning a $250,000 dollar prize package. Davenport outlasted a final table of September qualifiers to win the inaugural PokerRoom.com Become a Poker Pro tournament.
As the winner, he will receive travel expenses and free entries into twelve major televised poker tournaments, a package worth $250,000. Included in the package are entries into the WSOP main event, in addition to numerous WPT and EPT events.
Last September, PokerRoom.com hosted a freeroll for it's top players, and the top ten finishers competed on March 5th for the twelve-month sponsorship.
Davenport, an investment analyst from Corona Del Mar, California, took the title after almost seven hours of play. Jim's tournament score may be a result of good karma from his humble poker beginnings.
