Frenchman comes out tops in three month series of online contests

Titan Poker crowned Frenchman Yann Lelievre (25) as its Online Poker World Champion this week after he defeated some of the best online poker players across the globe in a three month challenge where Titan Poker players competed for the chance to participate in the World Challenge Main Event.

To qualify, players needed to advance through a series of poker leagues, competing first against their fellow countrymen and then against the worlds best international players. Only 56 players advanced to the main event.

Lelievre finished first in the World Challenge Main Event in December, claiming the title of Titan Poker World Champion and $100 000 in cash. The remaining 55 players received a share of $55 000.

"Poker is a true passion for me," said Lelievre. "I started playing poker in 2006 and it was not long before I realized all the passion that poker can provoke. I was so delighted to win the World Challenge Main Event, especially as it was such a close call. I became Titan Poker World Champion with a three of a kind - but just before the pot I only had enough for the big blind!"

Lelievre intends to continue playing to achieve more of his ambitions. "I'm still very young and I have a lot to learn, but I believe that I am getting closer and improving all the time," he said.
