Absolute Poker’s Craziest Last Longer Bet is Sending Two Lucky Players to the World Series of Poker* to Settle Their Prop Bets

Miami, FL (Marketwire), Monday, June 21, 2010 – Absolute Poker cast the net last month to catch The Craziest Last Longer Bet, with the caveat that only the sickest last longer bets would be in contention to walk away with one VIP prize package for the World Series of Poker* (“WSOP*”) this July. Now the votes are in, with Absolute Poker’s PRE1459/SHORTSTK all on their way to Las Vegas to play out their outrageous prop bets in Event # 54 of the WSOP*.

Over at Absolute Poker, PREF1459 (Michael Arnese) and SHORSTK (Tom Lipko) have been longstanding poker rivals, and they were both itching to put their No Limit Hold ‘em skills to the test on poker’s biggest stage. Whoever of the two buddies from Carbondale, Pennsylvania gets sent packing to the rails first will be forced to walk home all the way from Las Vegas in under a week. If the loser can’t complete the walk within deadline, they have to pay the cost of the $1,000 entry to the winner of the bet.

The poker adventure-seekers earned the most votes when their prop bets were put to the test with Absolute Poker’s online poker community. Their gutsy, creative efforts will see them get shipped to Sin City to play out their bet in Event # 54 of WSOP*, a $1,000 buy-in No Limit Hold ‘em event that kicks off at the Rio on July 1, 2010. The VIP Vegas package includes return airfares, hotel stay, Event # 54 tournament entry for two, plus the chance to hang with the cool crowd  - Cereus Team pro players during their Vegas jaunt.
