A GREAT NEW WSOP IDEA FROM BLUFF MAGAZINE
Bluff Brings Bubble Insurance to the WSOP
The worst place to finish in any poker tournament is on the bubble. But finishing
on the bubble at the World Series of Poker (WSOP) is the absolute worst finish
in the entire sport of poker.
Finishing just one seat out of the money at the WSOP means you’ve blown
your $10,000 entry fee, labored a week grinding your way to the brink of victory;
yet receive NO reward or recognition for your efforts. One seat OUT of the money
is every player’s nightmare.
But Bluff Magazine thinks that finishing on the Bubble isn’t anything to
be ashamed of at a tournament of this importance and at this level. With 6,600
players competing for a bracelet this year, the 2005 WSOP is the biggest sporting
event in history. So to celebrate 2005’s bubble finishers, Bluff Magazine
is offering Bubble Insurance, which could put the last five players finishing
OUT of the money in 2005, back into the series in 2006, with a seat sponsored
by the largest poker magazine in America.
According to Bluff Magazine editor, Michael Caselli, “Bubble insurance
is a cool way to take some of the sting out of hitting the felt at 100 mph and
missing your shot at becoming a millionaire. Besides paying for next year’s
WSOP seat, Bluff will feature all the players that cash in on their Bubble Insurance
policy in the magazine, giving them the recognition they deserve for beating
thousands of other combatants at poker’s big dance.”
Bluff is offering Bubble Insurance for up to 1,000 players in this year’s
6,600 player field. Players can register for Bubble Insurance for free at the
Bluff Magazine trade show booth on July 6, 7, 8, and 9th provided that they
agree to wear their free Bluff t-shirt through out the main event. Bubble Insurance
players finishing 1-5 places OUT of the money will be awarded a seat at the
2006 WSOP.
If you are playing in the 2005 WSOP or know someone who is, you can refer them
to booth 805 at the WSOP Trade Show, July 6, 7, 8, and 9th where they will be
able to insure themselves against going out on the bubble. Bluff Magazine Bubble
Insurance is free and available to all 2005 WSOP players.
Bluff Magazine is currently going from strength to strength it appears. After
a relatively short life, it is America's largest poker magazine with 225,000
copies printed and distributed nationwide. Bluff's 125,000 newsstand copies
and 100,000 event and location copies gets the publication into the hands of
all poker enthusiasts eager to keep up with the fast-pace of the modern game.
