GetMinted Sponsors WPT Players

(PRESS RELEASE) -- World Poker Tour Grand Prix de Paris 2006, provides the chance for players to win a share of a massive poker Pot worth 1 million Euros once again Getminted will be sponsoring players attending.

The Aviation Club de France rests in the heart of Paris on the Champs-Elysées, the most famous avenue in world. Founded in 1907 by a group of aviators, this exclusive Club celebrates the achievements of its creators with a bold tradition of risk and skill. These two components will be needed in abundance to win entry via the site and then to win the event itself.

Getminted Poker boss Mav selected this event in the WPT schedule specifically, as it is the only WPT event held in Europe, the GetmintedPoker.com network is barred to American players so this matches everyone's needs players and site operator alike.

NabTheAce beat 19 other players in the grand final of the online satellite competitions on July 7th 1995 to win the same event held last year by Getminted – an impressive feat considering Nab at the time had only been playing poker on the internet for 18 months. Nab's popularity is clear from the support other players offered him on the site via the forum.

"I don't know him personally but Nab, if anyone deserved a shot from this site it had to be you. You were my odds on favourite of winning this event before you even entered it. It's amazing good luck".

In this years event there will be 4 Level Satellites which are structured as follows:

Level 1 - £4 + £0.40 - 1 token to level 2 for each 4 players

Level 2 - £15 + £1 - 1 token to level 3 for each 4 players

Level 3 - £55 + £5 - 1 token to Final level for each 5 players

Level 4 - £255 + £20 - 1 seat in Paris for each 33 players

This contest is for poker players after value as it will have travel and accommodation paid for as well as the 10,000 Euro Buy-in. The real chance is obviously to scoop the top prize last year Nab came close finishing just outside the money.
