Jungleman philanthropist
Daniel Cates announced yesterday on his Twitter account that he was going to offer free entry to the WSOP Main Event to a person. How to earn this entry? First, you must live in Las Vegas (which unfortunately is not the case of the majority of the members of PokerCollectif).
Jungleman will keep you aware of its location via his Twitter account. When it will launch the appeal, the first person to join him in the location indicated, will be awarded a coupon. The person who has accumulated the most of these coupons will win headquarters. All participants must be 21 years of age and older and not have never participated in the Main Event (sorry PhilLeDingue). The seat shall be not be transferable. This is a great opportunity for all those who dream to participate in the most prestigious poker tournaments, but who are not necessarily the $ 10,000 to pay entrance fees.

"The accused lied to banks about the true nature of their activity. They are subject to 30 years in prison for bank fraud, 20 years for money laundering and 5 years for the Organization of gambling online". Nothing less. A bluff for the least cost.
