Builder Builds $250,000 fortune playing free poker
2008-08-14 APL Team
A builder from Parramatta is $250,000 better off today after beating
over 1000 free poker players at the APL Tournament of Champions - the
largest live free poker event in the World.
Paul Georges who only started playing poker a year and a half ago
couldn't believe that playing free poker at this local pub had ended up changing his life.
As well as making a whole new group of friends through poker Paul and
his Wife Nicole can now use their winnings to pay off their house and
take a well earned holiday.
Not only did Paul Walk away with a quarter of a million cash but his
prize also included a $20,000 trip to Vegas to play in the World Seriesof Poker as part of Team APL, an Australian team organised by the free poker league to represent our country in the Olympics of poker.
Just when Paul and his wife thought their evening couldn't get any
better Paul was the winner of a draw between the final 8 players for a brand new Jeep Wrangler, at which stage everyone was very emotional.
Guests at the event also experienced a celebrity poker tournament which was won by Jamie Wright and a free live concert by Shannon Noll.
Paul credits his love of Poker to Con Vallasis who runs the Inner West APL region where he plays. He said that all of the poker events he runs are entertaining, a great night out, offer huge prizes and mostimportantly are free.
