MONKEYING AROUND WITH WSOP?
A publicity stunt that is working
In a "rumour mill" exercise that sounds remarkably like a viral marketing project, the poker site PokerShare.com is being touted as the first company to enter a chimpanzee in the the august tournaments of the World Series of Poker.
Unlikely as it may seem that WSOP would consider such a distraction (unless they're in on the stunt) the word is that PokerShare intends to enter a chimp called Mikey into the main event at WSOP. Adding to the hype, the animal has apparently been given an intensive course in poker playing over the past few months!
As at going to press Online-Casinos.com and InfoPowa had not received a response from PokerShare on the rumour.
