Poker Island Promotion

Therre is a an old question if you could have any two items on a deserted island what would they be?

Some poker players could probably manage with a solar laptop with internet connection and unlimited food. If the island wasn't entirely deserted it might even be a paradise on earth.

Now, some poker players are trying out that answer. Luckily for them, the island isn't deserted, they have an internet connection, and they have all the food they can eat. Plus, accommodations aren't a Gilligan's Island style hut it's a luxury villa. Then throw in cards, chips, and live opponents and you have to wonder why anyone would ever leave this paradise.

One of my favorite promotions in online poker, the bwin Poker Island is happening right now and players are getting that type of an experience of a lifetime. This isn't an episode of Gilligan's Island, where everybody wonders why the Professor can't just build a boat if he can build a coconut radio and bamboo TV, any Professor on this island will be more Howard Lederer than comic straight man.

Poker island sounds like dream but it is a reality. What's at stake for these poker players? Just an oportunity to win a huge prize package to next year’s Aussie millions. Even better as Melbourne, the host of the Aussie Millions, is another paradise on the other side of the world. Can you imagine if they had a perverse sense of humor and offered a prize package to Tunica, Mississippi? The cliche the journey is better than the destination would never have been truer.

On Poker Island players from around the world will be playing in around the clock poker games. If it sounds like a made for TV special, it kind of is, Survivor meets the World Series of Poker. All the drama will take place June 15th to July 14th on poker island.
