Poker Sites Celebrate Father’s Day
This weekend is Father’s Day, and at least two online poker rooms are not taking it for granted. Rather they’re honoring Dad with promotions with the prizes that matter to him most (other than you and mom, of course).
Online poker room Absolute Poker will be celebrating all Father’s Day weekend with the Father’s Day Kickoff Tournament, a series of 25 Texas Holdem tournaments running from Friday, June 13 to Sunday, June 15 with the top player in each event getting a seat at the final table and a chance to win 2 seats to the opening game of the 2008 NFL football season.
Online poker room Ultimate Bet, on the other hand, is giving Dad’s a break at the gas pump with The Shuffle Up & Fill Up promotion, seeing $10,000 in prepaid gas cards distributed to the winners. Just participate in any Sit & Go cash game between midnight June 14 and 11:30 pm June 15 EST. You don’t even have to win the game, or even finish in the money to win some gas relief, as names of qualifying players will be drawn periodically at random, gas cards of $25 to $1,000 given to those luckily selected.
Happy Father’s Day, Dad. And may the cards be with you.
