World Poker Tour’s legal subscription poker website for the United
States--www.ClubWPT.com—is
giving players their shot to play for a million dollars next month. Two ClubWPT.com
members will win a seat into the $10,000 Season
VIII World Poker Tour® main event of their choice, where millions of
dollars and poker stardom are up for grabs.
“With the $10k World Series main event and the $15k World Poker Tour
Bellagio Cup going on in Las Vegas, all eyes are on poker in July,” said
Steve Lipscomb, WPT Founder and CEO. “Honoring the true competitive
spirit of this great game—the only sport in the world where the average
Joe can sit down with the pro’s and earn life-changing money and
celebrity status—ClubWPT is going to give two lucky winners the chance
to take their shot at millions in a WPT main event.”
Based on sweepstakes law, www.ClubWPT.com
is a legal, risk-free way to play online poker and blackjack in the
United States. For a $19.95 monthly subscription, members can compete
for over $100,000 in cash and prizes each month, and receive benefits
like magazine subscriptions, coupons, and other content. Instead of
putting up real money, however, members receive “tournament points” to
buy-in and play for prizes, which vary from tournament points to $20,000
prize pools, WPT Boot Camps, World Series of Poker main event seats, and
more. To date, www.ClubWPT.com
has awarded more than $2.6 million in prizes and recently sent two
members to play in the 2009 World Series of Poker main event.
The $10k WPT Seat tournaments will require a 500-point buy-in with
satellites running daily. The WPT seat tournaments will run Saturday,
July 11 and Saturday, July 25 at 9:00pm ET.
In addition to the $10,000 buy-in, winners will also receive $1,000 in
travel allowance. Players will have their choice to play in one of the
following $10,000 WPT main events: Bay
101 Shooting Star at Bay 101 in San Jose, Calif.; Southern
Poker Championship at Beau Rivage in Biloxi, Miss.; Legends
of Poker at Bicycle Casino in Los Angeles; L.A.
Poker Classic at Commerce Casino in Los Angeles; Foxwoods
