US Players Can Win a $25,000 Seat in WPT Champs

Action Poker Network who is back in the States after its recent acquisition from LVFH by the Norwegian public company Playshare Holdings, is launching its “$30,000 U.S. Poker Experience” this week with online qualifiers at Action Poker.com, Tiger Gaming.com and Poker in Canada.com.

Grandly announcing the event, the network promises three things to the winner: “American Poker, American Luxury and American Muscle. This will be a tournament series prototypical of the American Dream, with a chance to take 11 cents and turn it into $3.2 million at the World Poker Tour World Championship in Las Vegas.”

Making good on that promise is the offer of a $25,000 seat in the WPT World Championship scheduled for  April 21-27 next year, together with accommodation at the Bellagio Hotel and Casino and an ultra-cool Dodge Viper sports car to cruise the Strip during the visit.

The prize pool for the 2007 WPT World Championship will probably reach $13 million for the event, with $3.2 million going to the winner. The Action event will position its sponsored player in the starter field for the big pot, which will probably number some 500 players.

The “$30,000 U.S. Poker Experience” satellites will run through to the final on April Fool's Day, with buy-ins as low as 11 cents.
