The Great Poker Pumpkin
October isn’t even halfway over and it’s already been an exciting month. First and foremost we awarded our three-millionth dollar earlier this month. Hard to believe, but it wasn’t that long ago when we awarded dollar one. I can’t wait until we’re giving away a million a month. Congrats to everyone who has helped get us this far.
This month has some great new prizes including a custom built Big Slik poker table that includes the winner’s name on the felt. Tuesdays in October feature TAG Heuer sunglasses – the ones Ferrari Formula One driver Kimi Räikkönen wears. We’ve even got something fun cooked up for Halloween night (besides the $10,000 in cash we are already giving away that night). But wait! There is something even bigger on the horizon. I can’t announce what it is yet but it’s an extra special October treat from our friends at the World Poker Tour. More information will be available shortly.
In other WPT related news, we are sending 3 Club members (jlopez74, qhorses, wantsome) to play in the 2009 Foxwoods World Poker Finals on Nov 5th 2009. This $10,000 buy-in event always stirs up some great poker competition. We’ll have to see if there will be another marathon match like last year when the two Jonathans (Jonathan Jaffe and Jonathan Little) played heads up for over five hours before Little took down the final hand and $1.12 million.
What I can’t stop doing is eating these Blue Diamond almonds. As you know, you can win a year’s supply of these “Bold” flavored almonds (my favorite is Jalapeno Smokehouse) right now at the Club. We were lucky enough to have the folks at Blue Diamond send us a couple extra packs (actually a whole case) for us to try out all the flavors. Now there are almonds everywhere in our offices; which may be why visitors seem to be lingering a bit longer than usual.
I somehow dont agree with a few things, but its great anyways.
Very nice site! is it yours too
