Spade Club awards WSOP seats

LAS VEGAS, Nevada -- (PRESS RELEASE) -- SpadeClub, a subscription-based poker community, has awarded two of the four World Series of Poker* main event seats that it is offering this summer. Charles "labotomy" Goodwin and Ken "Handbone" Meyer placed first and second, respectively, in SpadeClub's first-ever World Series $40K Giveaway, which awards two grand prizes of $12,000 main-event prize packages. Both members will represent the SpadeClub community in the 2008 WSOP*. SpadeClub will also host a freeroll tournament with a growing prize pool based on how well the sponsored members do.
