Global Poker Send Masterpiece Grizzly Trophy To Winner

When Christopher Conley won the NLHE $2,500 Guaranteed Event in Global Poker’s Grizzly Games series earlier in the year, he probably was pleased to take down the money, the prestige (including a fancy new avatar), and the bragging rights. Turns out there was one more perk on its way to him: a sodding great bear.

Not an actual bear, to be sure, but a forty pound bronze statuette is still an impressive object to have jammed through your letter slot of a morning. The bear, which looks absolutely livid about something, serves as a trophy for Conley’s win, with each of the Grizzly Games champions receiving one for their mantelpiece.

Global Poker are a rising star in the online poker world, having loopholed their way through US laws on sweepstakes to find a way to put on internet cash games for US players. 

They have a strong social media presence, rewarding their players for Tweets like Conley’s, so one can expect a few more griz pics to start showing up on their feed soon. If you want to win a statue of your own, you’ll have wait for their next animal themed series.
