When Betfair Poker devised their new $100,000 poker promotion they were not anticipating it being won on the very first day.

However, that is exactly what happened when redmist1 walked away $100k richer after scooping the “Completely Nuts” promotion.

He successfully navigated his way through large fields to win both the Annette $20k Guaranteed and Nuts $6k Guaranteed tournaments on Friday evening.

redmist1 from Gateacre in Liverpool has been a Betfair player since 2005 and is a regular winner on the site.

Specializing in tournaments rather than cash games Redmist1 has become a formidable opponent on the Betfair poker tables.

He intends to spend some of his winnings this weekend in Riga when he will be visiting the local card rooms with friends.
