AbsolutePoker.com Player Faces off with Poker Pro Mark Seif to Win a $10,000 Seat at the World Series of Poker this Friday:

Fastest Growing Online Poker Destination sees its first lucky Shoot out winner square off against resident pro Mark Seif to win a WSOP seat!
Costa Rica, (PRWEB) April 20, 2005 -- Online poker players interested in trying their hand at beating a pro and winning a $10,000 seat at the Richest Sporting Event in the World – the 2005 World Series of Poker (WSOP) (www.worldseriesofpoker.com) – take notice; this Friday Mark puts the first seat on the line!

Every Saturday at 2 p.m. EDT leading up to the WSOP main event in Las Vegas which starts July 7, AbsolutePoker.com’s resident pro Mark Seif takes on the AbsolutePoker.com weekly Tournament Leader Board winner. The FreeRoll prize pool starts at $1,000, and Absolute Poker adds $1,000, a custom Absolute Poker jacket, and an opportunity to win a WSOP Seat every week. Any player that beats Mark in the “Mark Seif Heads-Up Shoot Out” will win that week’s prize pool and will automatically qualify to play him again the following Friday at 9 pm Eastern for a chance to win a $10,000 World Series of Poker Seat.

This past weekend Mark Seif was engaged in a hard fought match, but lady luck went astray on Mark and the first AbsolutePoker.com WSOP Shoot Out contestant was the last man standing. As a result, this Friday, April 22nd, Violentfish - as his screen name appears - will focus on repeating this hard fought victory and attempt to land himself a lucrative seat in this year’s WSOP. “It’s every poker player’s dream to compete there (2005 WSOP)” said the ex-sales executive who quit his day job just over a year ago to play poker full time. Shortly after he realized that he had to face Mark again this upcoming Friday he commented “Mark is strong; I hope I have what it takes to repeat.” Violentfish also came in 3rd last week in the 25K point challenge and won over $1000.

AbsolutePoker.com, which provides games 24/7 for thousands of concurrent players around the world, is also active qualifying players for the WSOP main event in Las Vegas through daily online poker satellite tournaments in which players enter for as little as $5. Players that win their WSOP seat not only receive buy-in to the WSOP main event, but money towards airfare and accommodations. To participate, players simply need to download the free poker software at www.absolutepoker.com.
