Relative Rookie Wins First PlayersOnly $12K WSOP Tournament
Newbie wins his way to the final, then wins seat at WSOP
Friday 20th April 2007
A relative rookie left the table with the first of 12 $12,000 WSOP prize packages being awarded in weekly satellite tournaments at PlayersOnly.com. Robert P., an office worker in California, won the Sunday night tournament after winning his seat at a free roll earlier in the week.
“Man, I’ve always dreamed of playing in the WSOP – it’s the pinnacle of the poker world so I can’t wait to be there. Las Vegas, here I come!”
With few online poker sites offering opportunities to win WSOP seats this year, the winner was wondering if he’d have to change his strategy for getting to Vegas.
“The past couple of years I’ve paid my way into events like Sunday’s tournament, but this year I’m having trouble finding places to play. Then I found this free roll during the week where I could even win my way to the Sunday night tournament… That seemed like the way to go!”
A brief interview with Sunday night’s winner is online at:
Every Sunday untili WSOP, PlayersOnly.com will host a multi-table Texas Hold ‘Em tournament and, each and every week, will award a $12,000 World Series Prize Package to the winner. Players can buy-in for $100 or, like Robert P. did, they can win a free seat at the Sunday night playoff in a series of qualifying satellites throughout the week.
