G'day Mate.............Aussie Bound

Courtesy of Pokernews and 888.com ive just won an all expenses trip to Melbourne in Australia at the start of January 2008. Not sure of length of stay etc but basically im in a 10 player live play off with the following prizes out there:

Grand Prize
Sponsorship into four major poker tournaments in 2008
Buyins, accommodation, flights and expenses all inclusive
Your own personal blog on PokerProForAYear.com
Worth over $50,000

2nd place
Sponsorship into one major poker tournament in 2008
Buyin, accommodation, flights and expenses all inclusive
Worth up to $15,000

3rd place
$1000 worth of entries into Pacific Poker Global Qualifiers


So basically its a $66,000 prize pool 10 player single table tournament.

Definitely got the luck in the right places in my 10 player freeroll to win this trip but from about 30mins in after losing 35% of my stack i upped it a gear and i can definitely say thats one of my best games ive played all year.

So its a turn around on the month which may still end up being a losing one cashwise but on paper i would estimate this package is worth in the region of $10,000 for sure.
