SAN FRANCISCO, CA -- 11/05/08 --
PurePlay, the largest legal U.S.
play-for-cash
online poker
destination, today announced completion of its fourth 2009 World Series of
Poker* tournament awarding a free seat to next July's Main Event in Las
Vegas. PurePlay's $10,000 seat giveaways run monthly and require no
buy-ins or deposits of any kind.
"Our WSOP*qualifying tournaments are especially popular these days in an
uncertain economy," said PurePlay CEO Jason Kellerman. "Many of our
members are telling us how great it is to have an opportunity to win a
multimillion dollar jackpot without putting a dime on the line."
The winner of PurePlay's latest qualifying tournament for the World
Championship of No Limit Texas Hold 'Em is Douglas H. Clark, of Kennett
Square, Pennsylvania. A PurePlay member since 2006, Clark said, "It's
amazing to have won this tourney. The fact that I did it without risking
any of my own money is especially sweet. Between now and next July I'll
hone my poker skills to get ready to compete at the Big Tournament. I'm
stoked."
"Doug Clark is just one of many players who will be awarded free entrée to
the World's Most Prestigious Poker Tournament through our qualifying
tournaments," Kellerman said. "We are on track to repeat this year's feat
of sending the largest number of competitors to the 2009 WSOP* among all
U.S.-based poker sites."
Kellerman added that he expects the excitement surrounding the 2008 Main
Event Final Table starting November 9th on ESPN to attract a new contingent
of players to PurePlay's upcoming qualifying tournaments. He also noted
that these tournaments have strongly contributed to PurePlay's leadership
position among U.S.-based poker sites. For information on how to enter
