Purple Lounge player goes to Aussie Millions

LONDON, England – (PRESS RELEASE) -- Purple Lounge is delighted to announce that another winner has struck success at its tables and has qualified for one of the coveted Aussie Millions packages. Purple Lounge players are no strangers to winning, with two players recently winning special prizes for being dealt cards in the billionth hand on the Prima network.

This time round, lucky Purple Lounge poker enthusiast Christoffer Stahle will be playing in the much anticipated 2007 Aussie Millions Poker Championship, the southern hemisphere's premier poker event, fast approaching in January. The Crown Casino, in Melbourne, Australia plays host to the Aussie Millions and the amazing Purple Lounge package worth almost US $13,000 includes return airfare to Australia, luxury accommodation in Melbourne, the main event buy-in and spending money too.

With an estimated prize pool of almost AU$6,000,000, it looks set to be sizzling down under when the five day main event gets underway within Crown's newly refurbished 50 table Poker Room on January 14th.

A Purple Lounge spokesperson said "Everything is set for this to be the trip of a lifetime for our lucky winner! Australia will be blooming in mid-summer, and if you fancy soaking up the rays whilst away from the poker tables, you can nip out to catch the 2007 Australian Tennis Open or the Ashes Cricket Series as both will hosted by Melbourne over the same period. It's enough to excite any poker player!"

The Purple Lounge team goes on to say, "We wish Christoffer the very best of luck as it would be simply fantastic to see him win big over in Australia. But most of all we hope he enjoys the whole experience. We're certain he will!"
