By the time Planet Poker recovered, Paradise had established a foothold, and the online poker industry got its first taste of competition. Almost overnight, Paradise Poker attained instant success, and its customer base soon surpassed Planet’s, despite Planet’s growth continuing at a record pace. In a few short months, the number of concurrent players at peak times grew from 400 at Planet to 1500 at Planet and Paradise combined, with Paradise emerging as the clear industry leader[3] with superior features and improved stability.

The "mad genius of poker" provided instant credibility to Planet Poker and the online poker industry as a whole.[1]
