Three Card Poker Champ Wins Trip to Poker Movie Premiere

Aces.com Player Will Attend Hollywood Party for ‘Aces the Movie’

The winner of last week’s Three Card Poker Tournament at Aces.com will be one of the most excited VIP guests at the Vegas-style site’s Hollywood Premiere next month. Brad K. won the free poker tournament and will receive airfare and hotel accommodation to attend the celebrity event in Los Angeles October 7th.

Brad won the VIP Hollywood Party Package by having the highest chip count at the end of the weeklong online tournament. Like many Three Card Poker players, Brad just plays the easier game as a break from Texas Hold’Em.

“Three Card is popular in Vegas and I tried it last time I was there,” says the free tournament winner. “I mostly play Hold’Em buy when it’s time for something a little less intense, I often play a few hands of Three Card. But believe me, the final hours of this tournament – with that prize in reach – that was definitely intense!”

The tournament champion will be flown to Los Angeles to attend the Aces.com Hollywood Movie Premiere, a celebration of the release of the DVD of the movie Aces.com has sponsored and promoted all summer. Organized by celebrity party planner Alex Quinn, son of Academy Award winning actor Anthony Quinn, the Aces.com party is expected to attract an A-list crowd.

“There’s a few of our players that have won all-expense-paid trips to the party,” said Aces.com Manager Rene Quesada, “But we’ve also sent invitations to hundreds of our players in the Los Angeles area.”

‘Aces the Movie’ is a sexy new poker movie about three gorgeous college students that devise a high tech scheme for cheating their way through the underground card rooms of Las Vegas. The stars of the movie have hosted weekly free roll tournaments at Aces.com through the summer, and Aces.com Manager Quesada took them to Las Vegas for the WSOP. (See their blog for stories and photos from that trip: www.acesmovie.blogspot.com.)

While supplies last, new players registering at Aces.com will receive a free copy of the ACES the Movie DVD. And an invitation to attend the star-studded gala on October 7th!
