Absolute Making Poker Dreams Come True
Absolute Dream Package Poker Promotion Now Taking Place
An absolute dream for many poker players would have them be able to play in a handful of World Poker Tour and World Series of Poker events for free.
AbsolutePoker.com is doing it.
The online poker site is now running The Absolute Dream Package, a series of tournaments in which the winner receives entry into 10 tournaments, including five WPT events and the WSOP main event.
The prize package is worth $125,000, and, aside from the WPT and WSOP events, includes entry into the $10,000 Ultimate Poker Challenge, entry to Absolute Poker’s $100,000 weekly guaranteed for a year (worth $11,232), plus almost $18,000 to use towards traveling expenses. The winner will also receive about $26,000 to play in an undisclosed televised high-stakes poker game.
There are three ways to earn an entry into the championship tourney that takes place March 4. The easy way would be to buy in to the event for what it costs, which is $216. But plenty of players will have gotten in through one of the many freeroll tournaments that are running from now until championship day.
The freerolls cost 50 player points, and every player at AbsolutePoker.com already received entry into either this qualifier or the ones to the weekend $100,000 guaranteed tourneys. Points can be earned by playing real cash games at AbsolutePoker.com.
Real-money qualifiers are also taking place at the site. Absolute Poker is holding two tiers: $3.30 and $27 qualifiers. Play in the low one to get into the $27 qualifier, where seats to the championship will be won.
