BEAT THE MOB BOUNTIES
Innovative celebrity promo from Prima Poker network
31 online poker rooms on the Prima Poker network provided plenty of action and $250 bounties in a promo involving the network's signature professionals, The Hendon Mob last week.
In the "Beat the Mob" Tournament of 2005, poker players from around the world were given the chance to go heads up with the poker playing foursome online, testing the poker skills of the network’s best and bravest players.
With a $250 bounty placed on each of the ‘Mob’ members, players sought to take them down one flop at a time and join the ranks of those that dared to take on the Mob, and won!
377 players participated in the event, which was finally won by a player known as ‘sp33dy’. Three other players were skilled enough to ‘Beat the Mob’. Barney Boatman, known by millions as ‘The Voice of Poker’ for his role as the commentator for ‘Late Night Poker’ on Fox Sports Net, was knocked out by ‘Optlagony’ while ‘Rocky’ Ross Boatman was bounced out of play by ‘Boing’. Finally, ‘Mattressman’ made neat work of Joe ‘The Elegance’ Beevers, a former investment banker and current Irish Open champion.
