A French poker player has won first prize in one of the largest online tournaments to take place this year.

Thierry Barou came first in the Titan Poker $500K Refer a Friend Freeroll, claiming the $80,000 cash prize on October 15th 2006.

The Refer a Friend Freeroll saw a total of $500,000 worth of prizes distributed to players, with 300 competitors finishing in the money.

Barou, nicknamed 'bioman', took home the largest share of the guaranteed prize pool. He has been playing at Titan Poker for a year and is now urging others to try online poker.

He commented: "I didn't move from my chair for seven hours during the tournament - and I won $80,000. I still can't believe it."

Players qualified for the Titan Poker tournament by referring friends to the online casino and winning special promotions.
