Poker.ca Sold for $400K, the Result of an Unexpected Poker Tournament Victory
MONTREAL, January 12, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- The highly valued domain name Poker.ca recently sold for a staggering $400,000. This allegedly makes Poker.ca the most valuable .ca domain on the internet, having sold for significantly more than any other site ending in .ca.
There is a lot of speculation circulating about the company behind such a dramatic and extravagant purchase. Rumor has it that the man behind the purchase is the owner of one of the biggest poker affiliates in the world and also a celebrity poker player as well. Although he insists on remaining anonymous in print, in a http://www.poker.ca interview he went into more detail about the story behind the sky-high price bid on the domain.
"It's actually an amazing story," he confessed. "I was in the middle of a high-stakes private poker tournament in a conference with some of the world's biggest players. When entering the final hand, I vowed that I would take whatever winnings I received and put them toward the purchase of poker.ca. I never dreamed I would win at that point, but I did, and now here we are."
Poker.ca has since evolved into a comprehensive, one-stop resource for Canadian fans of online poker. It includes poker news, poker tournament results, an introduction to basic poker rules for beginner poker fans, poker strategy suggestions and tips for more advanced players, and plenty of valuable insight into the Canadian online poker community and http://www.richpoker.net/ industry as a whole.
