Absolute Poker has taken it upon themselves to woo in college students by dangling free tuition and MacBook computers. How is a girl supposed to compete with that? Oh yeah, right. I remember now!
Although luring in little college boys is typically my job, I will allow Absolute Poker to temporarily hone in on my boys for this generous cause. Absolute Poker announced the return of the Absolute Poker College Challenge, an online Texas Hold'em competition featuring three major contests with a range of prizes, including tuition, swag and gadgets.
From their release:
"Due to overwhelming demand from students and poker fans across the world, we're thrilled to bring back our wildly popular college campus competition," stated an Absolute Poker spokesperson. "With free tuition money, notebook computers and cash on the line, this year's Absolute Poker College Challenge is more rewarding than ever."
In between cramming for finals and blowing off steam when the pressure cooker of Campus life gets too intense, Absolute Poker has put together a 12-week competition of free online poker qualifiers that's sure to fit nicely in your schedule - plus there's three ways to play and win.
Wooo boy! Jenny can relate to cramming and blowing, off steam, of course.
At stake in the May 11th Main Event are $10,000 for a college education, cash prizes, and a MacBook notebook computer amongst the gizmos on offer. To make it easier for online poker players to make their way to the Main Event at a time that's convenient for them, daily freerolls and daily $2 rebuy tournaments have also been added to Absolute Poker's tournament schedule.
In addition to the Main Event, the Absolute Poker College Challenge promotion features two leaderboard competitions. College students who register for the 12-week online poker tournament series will automatically compete for the top spot on a Player Leaderboard. Finish as King of the cards in the Player of the Year Leaderboard to walk away with the bragging rights amongst your frat buddies, plus pocket a handy $3500 and other cool prizes. Winners may contact Jenny afterwards. Not losers. Got it?
A secondary School of the Year Leaderboard that echoes the spirit of campus camaraderie will award the players from the top Colleges with freeroll entries and swag.
I was never in a sorority, but if I was, I would of been a Tri-Delt. Delta Delta Delta, can I help ya, help ya, help ya?
Online poker players who enter the Absolute Poker College Challenge will share in a prize pool that includes cash for tuition, top of the line computers, an iPod touch, thousands of dollars in Tournament Dollars, and Absolute Poker branded t-shirts.
