Pacific Poker Announce 1st Batch of 2005 WSOP Entrants

Online Poker room, Pacific Poker, is offering its players the chance to compete at the 2005 World Series of Poker by running a designated WSOP competition where first prize is an all expenses paid seat at the 2005 WSOP.

The last two main event World Series of Poker world champions both won their seats through online poker sites. The Pacific Poker 2005 WSOP qualifiers are taking place every week on the Pacific Poker website and thousands are trying to join some of the 6600 who will be competing for the $7 million first prize.

One player already packing his bags to Las Vegas is El Paso's Dago Montanez. Montanez has only been playing online for two years. He knew he had found his online poker home at Pacific Poker after he won his first tournament and his luck carried through to the World Series of Poker qualifiers where he had four of a kind not once but twice.

The medical assistant commented: 'My family and friends are very happy for me and are very supportive. I am just hoping to make it to the final table.'

'Players out there just want to get to the World Series of Poker,� said Mike Herea, Promotions Department Manager for Pacific Poker. �They are aware how much of a life-changing event it can be and just like we have already changed the life of a dozen people, we are able to and want to bring more happiness into people's lives.'
