Professional Online Poker Player Swoops Bodog $100k Guaranteed Poker Tournament

Marchant Davenport a 24 year old poker player, known as CobaltBlue on Bodog Poker in the online poker world swooped the pot in Sunday’s $100,000 overlay tournament at Bodog.

The online poker pro is also known as BlueCobalt at online poker rooms such as Full Tilt Poker, Davenport won the first place prize of $25,000.00 by beating out more than 620 other registered tournament entrants. According to information from Bodog, the poker pro has been playing online poker on the site since 2004, when he deposited his first twenty five bucks.

The 25 year old poker player resides in Atlanta and apparently built his bankroll the hard way, through bankroll management and strong poker play. His first bodog poker deposit was in the amount of $25.

We asked him how he built his poker bankroll starting with just $25.00:

“I played .05/.10 NL on Bodog and was fortunate to run well. Once I built that to $300, I started taking shots at .10/.25 and then .25/.50 at $800. Along the way, I also played some tournaments, but it took a while before I made a significant score there. It’s been several years since then. During that time, I’ve gradually moved up levels and played as high as 10/20 NLHE and 30/60 LHE. I’d say my comfortable game these days is 5/10 NLHE 6-max”

Marchant also shared a bit of poker advice with 4flush readers “you’ve got to have patience with regard to results. More often than not, you’re going to fail. That can lead to a lot of frustration. However, you have to keep trying and growing as a player. Staying within your bankroll will help your stress level and keeping up with poker literature and forums will keep you abreast of strategy. “

Another notable name at the Bodog event’s final table was Marc Davis, known as People_Mover Davis is also a skilled and well known online poker player who has seen the felt on this virtual final table more than once, he made it to fourth in Saturdays tournament.
