CORPORATE OIL GETS IN ON POKER
Poker has arrived when mainstream US commerce gets involved
Poker's prominent position as a source of entertainment and a test of skill in
the States was reinforced recently by a sponsorship move from mainstream corporate
America.
Exxon-Mobil is offering its customers the chance to win a seat to the 2006
World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event in Las Vegas this summer through the
"Mobil Delvac-World Series of Poker Promotion"
The lucky winner of the grand prize will get a free trip to Las Vegas and a complimentary
seat at the $10,000 No-Limit Hold'em Main Event at the Rio All-Suite Hotel &
Casino in late July. The $12,000 prize package includes airfare, accommodation,
and the $10,000 entry fee.
Commencing early April, the promotion will run until June 15, 2006. Players qualify
by purchasing specially marked one-gallon bottles of Mobil Delvac 1300 Super with
an attached mail-in sweepstakes entry form. The specially marked bottles will
be available at participating Exxon-Mobil lubricants distributors and lubricants
installers and retailers.
"Our 'Mobil Delvac-World Series Poker Promotion' enables us to reward our
loyal customers and provide them with an opportunity they might not otherwise
have: the chance to take on many of the world's best card players and a shot to
play for millions of dollars," said Jamie Roberson, commercial vehicle
lubricants advisor, Exxon-Mobil Lubricants & Specialties.
In addition to the WSOP prize package, ExxonMobil will be offering a number of
poker-themed prizes.
