Pokerstars player DDBeast is probably a very happy man today after trading in his Pokerstars players points for a brand new Porsche! He saved up 3,000,000 player points and decided to trade them in for this nice shiny Porsche:

DDBeast started playing poker when he was 18 years old. Now 21, and a graduate of economics, DDBeast plays poker full-time online. What is full time? For DDBeast, it’s 8-12 tables of SNGs with the occasional multi-table tournament thrown in for good measure. It took him just about one year to pick up enough FPPs to get a new ride. He puts it mildly when he says, “The Porsche is quite a nice upgrade from my ‘93 Miata. I’m loving it!”

DDBeast is not the first player to trade in his player points for a new Porsche. At the beginning of the month BMC11 also traded in 3,000,000 FPP points for this new Porsche Cayenne:

I will have one too one day, I just have about 2,999,321 points to go.

WANT to take out Annette Obrestad, winner of the inaugural WSOPE main event? Nothing personal, Annette. Indeed, it was her idea to invite players to take see if they could beat her.

Every Tuesday and Friday, Betfair will hold a $20k Guranteed a bounty on Annette’s head (and hands). Take her out and you’ll gain entry to Betfair’s weekly $50k GTD. Fail, and each time Annette reaches the final table we’ll add an extra $1,000 GTD to the prize pool the next time the tourney runs. You want more? OK, there’s more! When Annette wins, her bounty in the next $20k becomes entry into a WSOPE 08 Final Qualifier worth $525.
