Absolute Poker Dream Package Qualifiers Rocking
One Player Will Win Entries to Major Tourneys Everywhere
Amateur poker players who have dreamed of living the life of a poker professional have an opportunity to skip the years of grinding along the poker trail, thanks to Absolute Poker. The poker site’s Dream Package giveaway will fast-track one player into the high-stakes cash and tournament world next month.
The Absolute Dream package is valued at more than $125,000 and includes a seat in 10 major tournaments, including the World Series of Poker main event, five World Poker Tour events, and a $10,000 seat in the Ultimate Poker Challenge.
The winner will also get one buy-in to a televised Texas hold’em cash game. If this sounds daunting, don't worry: 2006 Card Player Magazine’s Player of the Year Michael “The Grinder” Mizrachi will be the winner's coach.
The package includes $18,000 for travel expenses, and, as a bonus, will also win an entry into Absolute Poker’s weekly $100,000 guaranteed tournament for one year.
The prize-awarding event takes place March 4, at 8:30 ET. Players can get into that tournament in a number of ways. They can buy directly into main event for $200+16, qualify through a freeroll, or win a real money satellite. Qualifiers run daily. Every Absolute Poker member has one free entry into a daily qualifier for the Dream Package or a $100,000 freeroll. For players to compete in any additional free qualifiers, they must pay 50 Absolute Reward points.
The Absolute Dream real money started Jan. 3, and also runs daily. Absolute Poker is holding two tiers of qulaifiers; $3.30 and $27 qualifiers. Play in the low one to get into the $27 qualifier, where seats to the championship are won.
Players can qualify for the championship event up until March 4. |
