Last week's Cake Poker Gold Card Race winner was jotun665. Shocking, we know.

This has officially become ridiculous. Jotun665 won the Cake Poker Gold Card Race again. Let’s tally it all up once more, shall we? Here’s a breakdown of where jotun665 has finished since the Gold Card Race began at the start of July:

Week 1: Eighth Place for $350

Week 5: First Place for $1,000 

Week 6: First Place for $1,000

Fortunately for the rest of you, Cake Poker designs its rewards programs to be shared by a large number of players as opposed to just one big winner (Jotun665, we’re looking at you). The Gold Card Race awards 50 of online poker ring game players every week out of a monthly prize pool of $50,000. The best part is that you don’t have to spend your Gold Cards to compete in it. Just collecting them earns you the “miles” necessary to earn the extra cash.

Cake Poker's Gold Card Race was won by jotun665 again last week. Will this week be different?

No, this isn’t a repeat from the week before, or the week before that, or the week before that, etc. Jotun665 won the Cake Poker Gold Card Race again last week so yes, that’s another $1,000 for him. Didn’t he learn to share?

Well, so far this week it’s shaping up like jotun665 might have some competition. He’s currently in second place with 1,024 miles on the heels of royalgeek with 1,226 while Sick Wit It! has a respectable lead with 1,623.

Can anyone beat jotun665 in the Cake Poker Gold Card Race?

This is getting ridiculous. It’s looking like jotun665 has made a profession out of winning the Cake Poker Gold Card Race as once again he has torn up the track to take down the $1,000 first place prize.

Last week was the fifth completed race since the Gold Card Race promotion began and not only has jotun665 cashed in all of them, he’s finished first in three of them!

Week 4: First Place for $1,000

That’s an average of $810/week.

Just to put it into perspective, if jotun665 had say… decided to work for minimum wage at McDonald’s in California ($8/hour) instead of playing poker, he would’ve made $320/week.

Jotun665 earned his "miles" by collecting Gold Cards while playing cash games. He still gets to redeem all those Gold Cards for entries into tournaments or for additional cash.

One of the great things about the Gold Card Race is that it pays out 50 people every week. You don't have to beat jotun to share in the $50,000 awarded monthly.

The Gold Card Race is a ring game competition that awards $50,000 each month to the online poker players who track the most “miles”. Miles are earned based on the Gold Card Miles Grid and the Gold Card Handicaps chart.

In an outstanding display of Gold Card racing prowess, jotun665 won an Ace of Clubs Gold Card last night, earning himself a whopping 110 miles plus the modifier for his stake level which multiplied his miles by four, giving him 440 miles in a single hand of poker!

Jotun665 is a regular top contender in the Gold Card Race. He finished third last week, won it the week before and is currently in the lead for this week after his explosive start with the Ace of Clubs.

Last week's winner was pokrlady34 with 5,233 miles while dlepz was second with 4,896. They earned $1,000 and $850 respectively.

The Gold Card Race is a great way to earn extra cash and you don’t even need to spend your Gold Cards to do it. Miles are earned on a weekly basis each time you receive a Gold Card. Each card is worth a certain number of miles.

Every Monday at midnight, the 50 players with the most miles are paid out with first place receiving the top prize of $1,000.

And remember, any Gold Cards that you receive not only earn you miles but are automatically added to your collection to be traded in later in a Gold Card Daily Lotto for anything from Gold Card exclusive freerolls to straight up cash.

Take today’s Gold Card lotto for example. You can redeem any six 3 of diamonds Gold Cards to earn entry to an exclusive $4,000 Guaranteed Gold Card Tournament running today 3:30pm PST. You’ll only have to compete with other players who spend their six 3of diamonds Gold Cards to get in, so it’s sure to be a high value freeroll tournament.

There’s a new Gold Card Lotto draw each day so be sure to log in to Cake Poker software to find out if you’re holding the right cards and what you can get for them.
