Magic Moments of Poker

I've been tracking a promotion that has really piqued my interest: Bwin's Magic Moments of Poker tour.
The tour, bwin is debuting, will offer players seven different opportunities to travel around Europe in a travel laden package. Qualifiers, who will be winners of online poker tournaments get a prize package that includes a visit to a city in Europe such as Milan, Munich, and Madrid, a major sporting event in that city such as a Moto GP, or the Real Madrid-Atletico Madrid derby, and a seat at a televised poker table.

The first stop in this tour is a visit to Madrid, Spain. First the lucky (excuse me skilled) qualifiers will take in the sights, they'll get tickets to a game between two of the most illustrious soccer (er.. football) clubs in the country.

Next up is a generous helping of VIP accommodations, dining and nightlife. Finally, and perhaps most importantly is the televized final table with a chance to win a seat at the Grand Final in Vienna. There, first place wins a sponsorship deal with bwin.

The trip gives travelers four days to see the sights, take in the game, and play some poker.

Does it seem like a dream? A a pipe-dream maybe? Actually, bwin Poker is offering a series of online satellites to qualifier and the best part is they start at low stakes. Earn your entry for as little as $6.

Not that you'd be here, seeing as this is a poker blog, but if you want to travel but don't know much about poker. I've thought of everything, if you want to learn some Texas Hold'em rules, check out bwin's primer to help you out with that right here.
