LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM -- (Marketwire) -- 09/01/10 -- Online poker players have been given the opportunity to hunt down and knock out the members of Team Titan, the professional poker team : of Titanpoker.com in a series of bounty tournaments culminating in Heads Up clashes with the team during the month of November.



Team Titan is a 6-member professional team led by Sorel Mizzi, one of the most well-known online poker players. The other team members are Sam Trickett, Marvin Rettenmaier, Jonas Klausen, Yann Brosolo, Florian Desgouttes, and Joel Benzinou.





Eliminating any of the Team Titan members from one of the weekly Team Titan Bounty tournaments will bring the skilled poker player a $100 Bounty prize and some serious respect. The tournaments are staged exclusively at Titanpoker.com and carry a $5 + $1 buy-in. Titan Poker contributes an additional $500 to each of the bounty tournaments to increase the excitement.

The top five players at that exclusive tournament will each go heads-up against one of five Team Titan members for a chance to win additional prizes.
