Congratulations to Poker Affiliate World members Adioking and Stroke on their first and second place finishes at the first FullTiltPoker.com Affiliate Freeroll. The event was a grueling four and a half hour battle of the affiliate donkeys. However these gentlemen muscled their way through 179 fellow affiliates to bring home the goods and win $1350 and $850 respectively.

Although many affiliates didn't show up for a shot at the $5k in free money, once the drones got weeded out the action got fierce. Adioking and Stroke built their stacks along the way and doubled through several affiliates to arrive at a short but action packed heads up dual.

With a dominating chip lead Adioking began to bully Stroke when it became heads up. Immediatly Stroke changed gears and went into "Randy" mode.........(Agressive, Agressive, Aggresssive) In fact he even managed to steal quite a few blinds and build his stack to a level that could have been dangerous given a few more hands.

But then the unfortunate hand for Stroke came. He picked up 66 and was raised by Adioking. He immediately reraises all-in and gets called to see Adioking flip over 88. OUCH..........The flop, turn, and river brought no help to Stoke and he went away with a free $850. Adioking claimed victory with his $1350 prize and can now make his first two payments on his new Audi A6.

Nice job to both players representing Poker Affiliate World at the final table!!

Other notable PAW finishes include:

11th - Ritch111

16th - Randy (The Animal Ray)

20th - Holis (Drawdead)

22nd - daniels25

39th - Nick0r

170th- Jeremy (Donkey)..................It must be rigged for a player of my caliber to finish that poorly! But when I look in the mirror tonight I will have the satisfaction of knowing I was a better tournament player than 9 other affiliates today. :)
