December - Choose Your Own Seat adventure
On Saturday, 5th of January, 102 players sat down to play for a free $12,500 seat at any major tournament in the world, as the grand final of our Choose Your Own Seat promotion ran throughout December. The competition was fierce, and the tournament lasted over four hours.
At the final table, Josekk and HMurmeli were heads-up with Josekk in the chip lead. It waa a winner-takes-all event, so neither was content with a second place finish.
The final hand actually saw the flop come down before both players pushed all in. Josekk held K7 and HMurmeli had QT, and the flop was KQ3. Hoping Josekk didn't have a pair, HMurmeli called the all in bet. Unfortunately, Josekk had top pair and avoided danger on the turn and river, giving him the win and a $12,500 live tournament package!
As it stands right now, we'll probably be seeing Josekk hit the tables at the 2008 WSOP Main Event, which as we all know is the single biggest poker tournament in the entire world. Stay tuned for all our live event updates!
