DREAM OF A WIN

Toronto construction worker takes $150 000 Absolute Dream Package

The week started on a high note for a 31 year old Toronto construction worker and online poker player, who truimphed in the latest Absolute Poker Dream Package online tournament, winning a series of sponsorships worth over $150 000.

Father of three Daniel Boone finished first in last Sunday's online poker tournament to claim a prize package that gives him access to over $100 million in land-based tournament prize pools. Boone will join the first Absolute Dream Package winner, Scott Carroll, on the poker circuit where they'll each be sponsored to play in 10 of the richest poker tournaments and the world's biggest televised cash game. Boone will also receive pro training from poker aces appointed by Absolute.

Absolute Poker hinted that the popular tournament would run again this June. "Absolute Poker is fast becoming one of the best places to win access to the world's hottest land-based poker tournaments," said David Clainer, senior vice president for Absolute Poker. "We've held this tournament twice and we're thrilled to bring it back for a third time this June."

The tournaments have become an important marketing tool for the poker site, attracting thousands of players to compete online for this major prize. "When you could win access to over $100 million in tournament prize pool money, there's no reason to play anywhere else," says Clainer. "The constant flow of traffic to our site combined with countless new signups each day is proving that. We've seen it with the first two Absolute Dream Packages and we're about to see it happen again."

Online qualifiers for the third Absolute Dream Package have already started, with players going after a seat at the June 3rd final event. The third Absolute Dream package has been generously enhanced by the addition of a 5-star vacation and other poker prizes.
