I think I had you at the first five letters…
Evidently, the Pussycat Dolls are being paid enough to like to play poker, and they are willing to do it with the winner(s) of this contest on bwin poker. The first two winners will fly to a mysterious place called PokerIsland to spend the weekend at a luxurious villa with the Pussycat Dolls from August 16-19. It seems that every week, two more freeroll winners will make the trip, all leading up to a grand finale of some sort in October, the winner of which will be a year-long sponsored player of the bwin team.
1. Has anyone had any experience with bwin?
2. Did anyone read anything I wrote after Pussycat Dolls?
Sounds like a fun contest. And if you can take a guest, consider Dan, who just might need a vacation from his vacation per his CSR posts.
UPDATE: PokerIsland seems to be in Ibiza, Spain.

Ok, so it doesn’t compare to any of Tom’s 3 2007 WSOP Final Table appearances, but Dan talked his way into (apparently name dropping Tom Schneider helps) won his way into a freeroll tournament with total cash prizes of $12,000. Dan is was the chip leader with 8 people left when he texted the following update:
Lost the chip lead. AA - no action. Next hand AA again - cracked by 88. Fold the next hand.. KK next - loses to AQ. Medium stack now. 8 left. Glad I took the guaranteed $1,200. Top 4 get more.
Sounds like Dan ran into some incredibly horrible bad luck, but he’s still in the hunt to take the top prize.
Update from Dan:
4 left. I am short stack. Guaranteed $1,600. Winner will get $600 more.
Final Update:
4th place, but because of multi chops I won the most money - $1,600. James Earl Jones was also in the top 4. His voice is almost as good as Karridy’s.
Dan learned an important lesson today: Resistance against Darth Vadar is futile.
If Dan can cash in another event he’ll he recoup his Blackjack losses - good luck with that.
