After winning his entry into the free online casinos poker tournament out of 5,000 opponents, he went on to win the grand prize. The 32-year-old Navy Ensign Santino Sgambelluri is still having a hard time understanding what a life-changing sum of money he has just won. 'It hasn't sunk in yet. It's quite a feat,' he said. 'I don't even know how to describe it.'
The winner is originally from Guam, and has been stationed in Pearl Harbor for a little over a year serving as an air safety officer. He has about 10 years of experience playing poker, but began playing Texas Hold'em only two years ago. He decided to enter the online casino site's Million Dollar Freeroll Tournament and try his luck at winning the big pot. It was possible for him and the other opponents to participate in this online casinos tournament because entrance was free. Had it not been, the competition would have been considered illegal.

Online casinos poker fans have the chance to play in these tournaments and compete against amateur and professional players for a chance to win major cash. The fact that they are offered often allows poker lovers to compete frequently and indulge their love of this growing sport. So to all of you poker lovers out there – what are you waiting for?
