In der Aztekenzeit oder der griechischen Mythologie, bei den Spartanern und den Wikinger als auch den alten German wurden Götter angepriesen. Heute ist das anders. Heute sind es die Pokerstars die Geschichte machen. Schon zu Lebzeiten sind sie bei Pokerspielern Legenden und werden angehimmelt wie die Stars am Broadway oder Hollywood. Die FullTiltPoker.net Million Euro Challenge -Pokertour die durch Deutschland reiste und die Städte Hamburg, Köln, Wiesbaden, Berlin, München und Stuttgart als Ziel festlegte dürfte seine Spuren in den Herzen der Pokerspieler hinterlassen haben.
