Leading poker publication to host exclusive competition in association with Betfair featuring Sorel Mizzi and Annette Obrestad
Tuesday 20th May 2008
Leading poker publication Bluff Europe has announced that it will be holding an exclusive freeroll tournament tonight featuring two of the best players in the world, Canadian Sorel ‘Imper1um’ Mizzi and Norwegian phenomenon Annette ‘Annette_15’ Obrestad.
The competition starts tonight at eight o’clock in the evening British Standard Time in association with the sponsor of the two poker professionals, Betfair, who have also added $2,000 to the prize pool. Both of the pros will have a $250 bounty on their heads while the remaining $1,500 will go into the prize pool.
In addition, Bluff Europe has announced that prospective competitors that didn't get ten Betfair points over the weekend in order to compete may still take part by simply entering the password ‘bluffthem’ in the tournament lobby.
Obrestad won last year’s inaugural World Series of Poker Europe main event, the youngest bracelet winner in the history of the sport, and took home one million dollars in prize money.
Toronto native Mizzi is fast becoming a force to be reckoned with in the live poker world after cashing for over $500,000 on PokerStars.com alone and also destroying the site’s High Stakes HU Showdown by winning four of his first six outings.
