Poker Priest Finishes Second

Yesterday was the TV showing of the final poker game of the “PokerStars.net Million Dollar Challenge for the season. As most know by now due to news sources letting the cat out of the bag our local poker playing priest did not win the million bucks for St. Micheal’s Catholic Church.

I couldn’t find it in myself to publish the winner though until after the show had aired just in case there were any readers that had not read about it. Rev. Andrew Trapp did his congregation proud though and a big congrats goes out to him for finishing second to retired NYPD officer Mike Kozowski and also for the 100 thousand that he had won on the show previously.

For those that don’t know, you can get your shot at the Million Dollar Challenge by playing at PokerStars. Just play in any of the Million Dollar Challenge daily freerolls and finish in the top ten. Then send in a short video, showing why you think PokerStars should send you to star on the show. If you make a good impression, you could be heading off to the TV studio in Los Angeles to play for a million bucks. You can even bring along two poker buddies to cheer you on!

If you don’t have PokerStars you can get it by clicking the play now button. They have many other cool promotions besides the Million Dollar Challenge like the 100% deposit bonus up to $600.00 by simply using the code ‘Stars600’ when depositing. I like the looks of the latest promotion that they sent out in their newsletter too;

“We’re radically improving the VIP Program in 2010, beginning with the arrival of our new VIP Stellar Rewards – a series of cash-credits that you will release throughout 2010. We’ve set out nineteen yearly milestones, each with a reward of up to $100, that start at just 750 VPP – a level that everyone can earn. They go up to 90,000 VPP so there’s something for the biggest players too. Earn them all and you will collect a total of $1,000!

We’re restructuring the way we award VPPs, so you will earn them at a quicker rate and climb the VIP ladder quicker than ever. We’ve also lowered the SilverStar VPP qualification to just 750 VPPs and combined our VIP Freerolls to form four quarterly $1 million freerolls throughout the year.”

Well there you have it folk, the latest from Poker Stars looks very good for 2010 !
