Poker Fan Justifies WPT Global Ambassador’s Generosity With Six-Figure Win
An admirable feature of the recent WPT World Championship at Wynn Las Vegas was a promo that saw WPT Global Ambassadors who won tournament seats via satellites at this player-friendly online poker room give away their seats to poker fans. It’s great that the world of real money online poker can have such a generous interpretation of the season of goodwill.
WPT Global Ambassador and YouTube Vlogger Andrew Neeme was one such pro to award someone an early Christmas present, the aim of his promo being to invite would-be recipients to explain in a 280-character Tweet what the game of poker means to them, and why they are passionate about poker.
The eventual winner was US Navy Veteran LoriAnn Persinger, who thus found herself in possession of the $10,400 ticket that enabled her to sit down to do battle in the prestigious mega bucks tournament in Sin City.
It doesn’t take Sherlock Holmes to guess what’s coming next, of course. After a marathon run that saw the Las Vegas resident survive ups and downs in a field just short of 3,000 entries, LoriAnn managed to finish in a very impressive 30th place, with her share of the more than $29 million prize pool being a cool $119,300... Poker really is the ultimate pastime!
Meanwhile, there’s still plenty of action to take advantage of in the $1,800,000 guaranteed WPT Winter Festival at WPT Global, which will continue until 3 January. This is a series of great value events that’s simply too good to miss...
