As a Las Vegas small event grinder, I was pleased to see that one of our friends and fellow bloggers Poker Grump won a seat at the WSOP 2011 main event. I follow Poker Grump’s blog on a daily basis and have enjoyed playing across the table from him on a few occasions.
For those of you that may not have been aware of the recent raffle that was held, Internet phenomenon Daniel ‘Jungleman12′ Cates was giving away a $10k entry into the main event for people that followed him on twitter. He would post locations throughout the valley in which he would be handing out tickets free of charge. The only stipulation was that you have never played in the main event previously. This being Daniel’s first WSOP, he wanted give back to the poker community that was just like him.
The final ticket stop and drawing was held today at McFadden’s in the Rio.
Congratulations to Poker Grump! We look forward to railing you on to a strong finish!
I’m happy to hear that Grump won, couldn’t have happened to a better guy. I look forward to hearing his recap of the tourney as I too am a daily reader of his blog…GO GRUMP
