Escape to PokerIsland - By Seth Shafer

Jun 26, 2008

PokerIsland is PokerRoom's hottest new promotion and the time has time for you to make your reservations! Winning your way to PokerIsland is just the start of your journey, though, as you'll not only have the chance to live in a luxurious villa but also will have a shot at winning a poker sponsorship deal from PokerRoom to major WSOP and WPT events.

The first step to get to PokerIsland is qualifying for the online finals, which you can do for free by simply playing at real money cash game tables at PokerRoom.com. The online finals are held on Sunday each week, with players who qualified throughout the week entered. The qualification requirement changes each week, so be sure to check to see what it takes each week to get a spot in the online finals.

If you win the weekly online final, it's time to pack your bags for PokerIsland. On the island you'll get to live in the lap of luxury, with all expenses paid for you to stay in a magnificent villa along with outings on jet skis, power boats, jeep safaris, diving, and much, much more.

PokerIsland runs from July 16th to October 30th, and how long you stay depends on how well you play, as weekly tournaments on the island will send two losers home and punch a ticket for the winner to the PokerIsland final.

Players that make it to the Island and qualify for the final will then battle it out in one last tournament for the grandest prize of all: sponsorship as a poker pro with Team PokerRoom for events including the WSOP, WSOPE, WPT Championships, and the WPT Five Diamonds Classic!

PokerIsland isn’t some mystical, mythical place; it’s a real chance to fulfill all of your dreams at once, living the good life in a posh villa on a beautiful island with a shot at a poker pro sponsorship deal if you play your cards right. And it couldn’t be easier to book your reservations, as all you have to do to begin your journey is simply play in cash games at PokerRoom.com!
