WilliamHillPoker.com is offering one lucky player the chance to watch May’s final at Wembley Stadium from a VIP box.
Monday 15th March 2010
One lucky online poker player will win a VIP trip to the FA Cup final at Wembley Stadium in May courtesy of a special promotion running all this month at William Hill.
To take part, players should register at WilliamHillPoker.com and compete in order to move up the domain’s Loyalty Rewards ladder to level five. From here, players will be automatically entered into the qualifier for the FA Cup final VIP package, which includes a once in a lifetime day out for two in a Wembley box for the game on May 15.
“This month, I expect there to be more competition for the first prize,” said James McKay, Poker Manager for William Hill.
“I’d love to go myself and I know whoever wins will have an amazing day.”
Last season’s final was the 128th edition of the world’s oldest domestic football cup competition with over 89,000 fans watching Chelsea defeat Everton by two goals to one. Everton’s Louis Saha scored the fastest goal in the history of the final after only 25 seconds but an equaliser for Chelsea from Didier Drogba in the 21st minute followed before Frank Lampard hit the winner with 19 minutes left to play to hand the London-based club its fifth FA Cup.
Last month, Gibraltar-licensed WilliamHillPoker.com stated that it awarded one fortunate player using the pseudonym ‘Mindee’ with a seat to the main event of the upcoming Irish Open courtesy of an exclusive super satellite tournament.
