AUTHOR: Jerry "Jet" Whittaker TITLE: World Series of Poker Prize Pack and Auction DATE: 10:53 AM ----- BODY: In a unique auction starting this week at PlayersOnly.com, a $12,000 World
Series prize package could go for a buck or less. The popular casino, poker
and sportsbetting site has begun taking bids in its World Series Low Bid
Auction. The bidder that makes the lowest unique bid on the prize between
now and the close of the auction in June will be able to purchase, for the
amount of their winning bid, the deluxe travel package. It includes airfare,
accommodation and entry to the World Series of Poker. "A chance to play in
the Big One, that's every poker player's dream," said PlayersOnly.com Brand
Manager David Anderson. "Vegas. World Series. Talk about the perfect place
to 'unleash the player in you'! It'll be great seeing one of our guys at the
Final Table!" To win the auction, bidders must make the lowest unique bid.
If they were the only one to bid one penny for example, they'd get the
$12,000 prize for a cent. Of course, the odds of being the only one to bid a
penny are probably pretty low - but you never know! "Last month," explained
Anderson, "We did a Low Bid Auction for a plasma TV. The winner of that
auction ended up getting a $1500 TV for just fifty cents!" There were many
bids for amounts of more and less than fifty cents, but more than one player
bid on them. The winner was the only one to place a bid of $.50. --------
