Frenchman Remy Elkoubi Hits Fort Knox Jackpot At Titan Poker

Remy Elkoubi from France won the $100,000 jackpot prize at Titan poker after hitting a straight flush.

Elkoubi, a.k.a. BENNYKING, prior to winning the Fort Knox jackpot prize, had been playing at Titan Poker for less than a year.

"I had tried to win this Jackpot a few times, but I never had any success until this beautiful day," he said. "I will remember this day for all of my life. I can barely recall the final game as I was under so much pressure -- but I remember the last hand. I won the Jackpot with the most beautiful hand -- a Straight Flush. A Straight Flush that earned me $100,000! I never believed that I could win this prize but the reality was different, the Fort Knox fortress is not untouchable. Thank you Titan Poker!"

So far, Elkoubi is the fifth poker player to win Titan Poker's Fort Knox Jackpot in the past few months. Just this July, another Frenchman, Guy Meridjen, bagged $100,000.

Other winners are Derrick Morin from Canada, Richard Stringer from the UK, and Joseph Dulaney from the United States. Another interesting fact: Derrick Morin had not even made a deposit in Titan Poker when he hit the jackpot!
