CelebPoker offering chance to be poker celebrity

(PRESS RELEASE) -- CelebPoker.com is offering their players the chance to become one of the stars of live poker and the opportunity to win BIG money, by offering players the chance to win one of three €6500 Packages for the San-Remo Main event held in Italy this April (18-23rd April)

The Italian San-Remo event made its debut last year with a massive field at Casino San Remo. Every seat in the house sold out as 701 players forked out €5,000 (or qualified for the event online) to compete for €3.1 million in cash. Young American poker player Jason Mercier rose to the top to capture the title and €869,000 in one of the final table battles of the season. This year the organizers have increased the player cap to 800 players, meaning almost 100 more player seats are available compared to last year's tournament, potentially adding almost a cool half million euro to the prize-pool.

The 2009 San-Remo Main event has a buy-in of €5,250 with an expected prize-pool of €4,000,000 (with an estimated prize of over €1,000,000 for the winner!)
