It never gets old hearing about big wins at online casinos.  The ability to payout large jackpots validates online casinos and indicates their permanence in the gambling community.

Jonathan McCann, 20 years-old, won $30,000 in an online poker championship.  He is undoubtedly excited.  This win in many ways validates his ability as a poker player.

McCann is currently studying sports science in Liverpool.  He won his $30,000 prize off of a $500 buy-in.

“I qualified for the main tournament by playing in a $60 game earlier,” said McCann.  This is not his first win.  He apparently picked up £3,000 in a poker game two weeks ago.  However $30,000 is his biggest win to date.

Jonathan had stiff competition, being one of 170 players in the tournament.  “The victory was satisfying for me as these players must be serious players, for they had paid large sums to participate,” said a proud McCann

“It was a nice thing to learn that I can play with the bigger players,” he added.

The twenty year old card shark has had other successes.  During a three day poker tournament in Monte Carlo last year, he played valiantly until the second day. 

A level headed gambler, McCann intends to save his winnings and put it toward a house in the future.  Next Sunday, the main tournament will be held and he is looking forwarded to cleaning up there as well.  McCann will be competing in the UK Poker Tour on the weekend.

Online casinos have become a great way for professional poker players to make big wins and brush up on skills in between big, live tournaments.
