With each sport having a "World Series" to determine a champion every year2007-07-30
• With each sport having a "World Series" to determine a champion every year, it's only natural that Poker and Baseball should meet at some point. PlayersOnly Poker is making that happen with a tournament to send players on an all-expense paid trip to the World Series this fall. Freeroll qualifiers for the tournament begin Saturday at 3:30 p.m. (EDT) for players to win their way into the Fox Baseball World Series Tournament final on Sept. 22. The top 10 players from the freeroll will advance to the final. If you miss this Saturday, you'll be able to catch the freeroll every Saturday throughout the summer. "We've always got tournaments happening. As PlayersOnly Poker manager, David Anderson has said, “Tournaments are a great way to get poker experience". "All you risk is the buy-in fee, so in a freeroll, you risk nothing. Everyone starts with the same stack of chips. And you play until one player has them all." Once the top 10 players advance from the weekly freeroll tournaments, that won't mean the end for anyone else to take a shot at the World Series Prize Package. If you were too busy watching the Baseball game on Saturday to play in the freeroll, you can still buy in directly to the final for $50+$5. The winner of the final will receive a deluxe travel package for the World Series that includes two box seats to Game 1, first-class air for two, and hotel suite and limo to and from the stadium.
• Shannon Elizabeth is in Australia to play the 2007 Victorian Poker Championship. The event is taking place June 25 to Aug. 6, with a total of 16 tournaments scheduled to culminate in the three-day $3,000 No-Limit Holdem Main Event. The former actress and model was seen sporting PokerStars.com gear at the 2007 World Series of Poker. Her most notable poker accomplishment so far is a third-place finish in the 2007 NBC National Heads-Up Championship, beating some of the best players in the world. But she found out the hard way that being a celebrity won't always help you, especially if you are not recognized. Earlier this week she was denied access to the Victorian Poker Championship because she had forgotten her identification. It did not help that she told the security guard who she was and that she is 33 years old - he refused to let her in without a valid ID. Whether she came back with her ID or not is unknown.
