2012-05-02

LONDON, ENGLAND, May 02, 2012 (Press-News.org) Badbeat.com sponsored and mentored player Alan Davie continues his winning streak. Davie started the week finishing 2nd in the $200,000 Guaranteed Sunday Blast on Poker Encore, winning an incredible $24,000 (EUR18,158) , and ended it with winning the EUR20,000 Guaranteed on Poker Time taking home the first place prize of EUR5,378. This is the second time Davie has won this tournament since he became a Badbeat.com sponsored player.

"Joining Badbeat.com gave me the resources to play a lot more volume and bigger games, which of course helps me improve as a player," Davie explains. "Badbeat.com is helping me achieve my potential by giving me the financial backing and mentoring. I'm already playing some of the best games on a nightly basis."

Davie continues by expressing his gratitude to his Badbeat.com mentor Darren Hedley, "My mentor had a big part to play in my score, as I was having a tough time at the tables leading up to this result, but he kept reassuring me my luck would change sooner rather than later. His belief in me really helped me focus on playing and not just being results orientated."
