This past weekend Mark Seif did not have the right stuff and as a result, a new fresh face was introduced to the WSOP main event to represent Team Absolute. "Like I've been saying all week, it's every poker player's dream to compete there (2005 WSOP)," said the ex-sales executive Violentfish. "It wasn't easy either; Mark was down 4:1 then came back to even before it was over. In fact, it was the longest heads-up match I've ever been in; it lasted over 45 minutes. The important thing is now I know I can compete with, play with and beat the best!"
AbsolutePoker.com, which provides games 24/7 for thousands of concurrent players around the world, is quite active qualifying players for the WSOP main event in Las Vegas through daily online poker satellite tournaments, in which players enter for as little as $5. Players that win their WSOP seat not only receive buy-in to the WSOP main event, but money towards airfare and accommodations. To participate, players simply need to download the free poker software at http://www.AbsolutePoker.com .
"I love this format. The caliber of players is challenging, and I have no doubt that Team Absolute will hold their own at the WSOP," said Seif. Mark also said, "I'm a pro poker player, I don't like to lose, and I'm looking forward to this Friday's match against Kevin."
The 36th annual World Series of Poker begins June 2 at the Rio Casino in Las Vegas. The Rio will host all but the final two days, which will be played July 14 and 15 at the Horseshoe Casino in downtown Las Vegas, the original home of the tournament. With more than 6,000 expected entries, the WSOP's $10,000 buy-in main event is expected to generate a prize pool of US$60 million, making it the richest sporting event in the world.
There are an estimated 50 million active poker enthusiasts around the world and the numbers continue to increase; leading analysts predict that online gaming will soon become the largest industry on the Internet, outpacing both retail and travel in revenue. AbsolutePoker.com, which is five times larger than the largest land-based poker room in the world, is the fastest- growing online poker site out of an estimated 260 poker sites, regularly attracting more than 10,000 players.
