San Jose, Costa Rica (SANEPR.com) April 23, 2009 -- bwin’s Poker Island is back! The unique promotion, which is now entering its second year, will kick off shortly. Think of it as “Survivor” meets poker. Each week, four contestants living in paradise will battle against each other in a tournament to decide who stays and who must return to their lives away from the island. The top two finishers in each week’s tournament remain on the island, while online poker qualifiers replace the two castoffs. Each week, the tournament winner is entered into the Poker Island final.
A membership to Team bwin is on the line. This isn’t just a few pieces of gear and a congratulatory handshake. The lucky winner will be sent to some of the largest live tournaments on the planet, including the World Series of Poker (WSOP) festivities in Las Vegas and London, the World Poker Tour (WPT) Five Diamond World Poker Classic, and the season-ending WPT Championship. A deep run in any of these events will likely mean life-changing money. The prize package is valued at $100,000.
The contestants’ digs include a master bedroom with a Jacuzzi, a ping-pong table, pool table, and full swimming pool. Last year, the contestants participated in fun-filled events like Jeep tours, windsurfing, wakeboarding, sailing, and full-fledged body and soul treatments (not to mention a ton of poker). No expense was spared on Poker Island, making it a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that can’t be missed.
