Our next biggest winner so far was PLOFISH011. He received an Ace of Hearts Gold Card worth $1,500 while playing at the $3/$6 tables.
The second week has already seen two more players receive Ace Gold Cards. An Ace of Diamonds Gold Card worth $500 went to btwen of Connecticut, USA and an Ace of Clubs worth $250 went to bkdoorheehaw of Connecticut, USA.
That’s over $12,000 in cash awarded to players since the promotion started and we’re expecting more to come before it wraps up at 23:59 GMT January 31, 2012.

Powerhaus555 Receives $10,000 Gold Card Just Three Days into January Match & Win
January 4th, 2012The Cake Poker Reward Gurus cooked up a fine Match & Win promotion for players to kick off the New Year with all 2012 Gold Card Aces being redeemable for various amounts up to $10,000 through January. It only took three days to see someone nab the first $10,000 prize as powerhaus555 of Massachusetts, USA was awarded an Ace of Spades Gold Card while playing at a $0.50/$1.00 cash game table.
A day prior we also saw PLOFOSHO11 of New York, USA receive an Ace of Hearts worth $1,500 while playing at a $3/$6 6-max table.
Both players, along with everyone else playing cash games at Cake Poker, still have the chance to win again since the distribution of Gold Cards is random and the Match & Win promotion runs all month.
For those unfamiliar with Match & Win, it’s one of Cake Poker’s many recurring promotions. It lets players redeem Gold Cards they have won at ring game tables for cash and prizes. Since the distribution of Gold Cards is random, any player competing for real money at a Cake Poker ring game table could instantly win up to $10,000 in cash.
Get complete details on Match & Win and Gold Cards, or head straight to the ring game tables and get a shot at your own $10,000, just for playing online poker.
