29 January 2008 by Philip Tuck

Holder of one of the greatest online achievements, that of winning a Sunday major back to back, Greg 'DuckU' Hobson is one of the truly great online tournament players...

DuckU’s incredible back to back wins in the Full Tilt Sunday major on April 15th and April 22nd 2007 netted him a combined total of two hundred and forty two thousand dollars. DuckU has also taken down some other monster tournament scores.

Not content with winning a Sunday major back to back, Greg also won two Ultimate Bet Online Championship events in a row - taking down both the 200k guaranteed and the 75k guaranteed in two days - cashing for a combined total of over eighty thousand dollars.

To add to this list of sick back to back achievements, Greg has also taken down the 1k Monday on Full Tilt, good for $82 this player - he is a first place hit man. ,000; a $100 rebuy on PokerStars, worth $39,575; and a second in the PokerStars $200 rebuy for 39,025.

Add to these another ten five figure scores in 2007 alone and it’s pretty easy to see quite why DuckU has attracted such attention. Currently ranked 15th in the world on the PocketFives ranking system, DuckU is a fast and aggressive player who always plays to win. There will be no free cards coming your way with this player - he is a first place hit man.
