Starting soon, US-based players can earn up to three sweepstakes
entries (one entry per week) by completing Tournament Center weekly
goals in Zynga Poker. Following the three-week contest period, 15
winners will be drawn from the pool of entries to receive their
shot at a chance for fame and fortune at a real-life World Poker
Tour tournament. Winners will be sent on an all-expenses paid trip
to Hollywood, Florida, including the $3,500 buy-in to compete in
the tournament. Supplementing their Zynga Poker skills, winners
will also have the chance to attend an exclusive training workshop
run by WPT commentator and champion, Tony Dunst.
“Zynga Poker players love competition, and now they’ll get to
put those skills to the test at an elite, high stakes tournament,”
said Bernard Kim, President of Publishing at Zynga. “Our players
know the ins and outs of the game and how to approach a hand – but
with the help of WPT and poker icon Tony Dunst, they’ll have the
opportunity to learn from the best how to handle the pressures,
etiquette and excitement of a live tournament.”
With close to $4 million worth of winnings and ten career titles
to his name, Tony understands the nuances of the game and wants to
share what he’s learned with Zynga Poker players. “Zynga Poker is a
great platform for anyone to learn the ins-and-outs of Texas Hold
‘Em rules, strategies and community,” said Tony. “The sweepstakes
winners will have a wonderful opportunity to play in one of the
best WPT events of the year at Seminole Hard Rock. Zynga Poker has
given these players the practical tools to succeed, and I look
forward to sharing tips I’ve learned as a WPT Champion to
accelerate their respective learning curves.”
