Online Poker Software Upgrades Please Betfair Players

According to online poker room, Betfair, its regular players are quite pleased with a recent upgrade to the online poker software platform. Updates to the payment system, security and integrity of the software have attracted many more players to the high-stakes tables.

"Betfair is very popular with high-stakes poker players because our payments system is one of the best on the web," stated Betfair spokesperson, Oliver Bowen. "When you are putting so much money at stake you want to know that the site is secure, payments can be made quickly and the exchange rates are fair.

"Our software has come on leaps and bounds," Bowen continued. "We have seen a strong increase in player numbers over the last few months and these high-stakes games give all the players good entertainment."

Earlier this week, the London-based operation saw a $250/$500 no limit Texas Hold'em match that began just after midnight. By 10am the next morning, the match was still going with a whopping $600,000 in chips on the table. According to Betfair Poker, the heads-up play came down to a $150,000 stack versus a $450,000 when both players went stalemate, deciding to call for a rest.
