Not surprising considering the amount of money swaping hands (pardon the pun) in the on line poker world.

That's an insane price for a Domain name.
Being .orgs are the 3rd largest Top Level Domain after .com and .net.

I understand at this point PokerCompany.com doesn't even have any imediate plans for the purchase.

TMM and not enough sense.

The Poker.org sale corresponds with a trend in .org domain registrations, which saw an 11% increase in 2009. The .org top level domain is now the third largest generic domain, after .com and .net, - with eight million registered names.
