THE POKER SCHARKOV TORONTO! POINTS MEAN PRIZES, ACTUALLY POINTS MEAN A HONEYMOON!

23 September 2009 – 35-year-old Gary Scharkov from Toronto, Canada found a great way of paying for his recent honeymoon! A Palladium Lounge Elite member, Gary recently took has newly wed wife, Rachel, 29, for a week at a luxurious resort at Jade Mountain in St Lucia by cashing in 55,000 PartyPoints!

Palladium Lounge http://www.palladiumlounge.com Elite members are entitled to the use of the industry leading concierge service once they reach the highest tier of the PartyGaming VIP programme and Gary is the first person to utilize his points for a honeymoon. If that wasn’t enough of a benefit, Gary returned from his $12,000 honeymoon to watch U2 live in Toronto from a specially hired box that he shared fellow Palladium Lounge members.

“I was looking at how I could use my loyalty points one day and by fluke came across the holiday while looking at the store online,” said Gary. “It is fantastic to be able to use my points for something as important and expensive as my honeymoon. We had a great time, the holiday was top draw and to come back and see U2 live from a box was brilliant too!”

Gary is a regular in the big limit games online at PartyPoker.com, while his wife Rachel is a mean player herself and also a member of the Palladium Lounge. They first met eight years ago in a local card room and it was love for each other, and poker…at first sight!

“Online poker has certainly given me some good times on and off the table. After the honeymoon and U2 concert the next stop is a trip to Germany for Oktoberfest,” said Gary. “My Palladium Lounge Elite membership is certainly helping me live my life and see the world. After Oktoberfest, I also have my eye on the BMW you can see in the PartyStore!”

A PartyPoker.com spokesman said: “Gary and Rachel have found that Palladium Lounge Elite membership has some seriously good spin offs. To our knowledge, he is the first player ever to utilize his loyalty points for a honeymoon. That said, in March 2006 attorney Gary Suffir and artist Jackie Johnson got married, with Mike Sexton as a witness, after meeting by playing against each other online at PartyPoker.com.”

STOP THE PRESS! HIGH SKYING JOURNALIST WINS POKER GAME 50 METRES UP! JOHANNES JORGENSEN WINS PARTYPOKER.COM IN THE SKY!

14th September 2009 — 24-year-old Copenhagen journalist Johannes Jorgensen is the winner of http://www.partypoker.com/ in the Sky! After conquering the field of 22 players 50 metres up in the Copenhagen skyline, he scooped a $13,000 package for the PartyPoker.com World Open V in London in October.

PartyPoker.com and Ace Magazine teamed up to create Poker in the Sky, which took place on Friday 11 September. Poker in the Sky literally elevated above everything that you’ve seen before on the Danish poker scene! Floating high above the Town Hall, surrounded by Copenhagen and the spires of the city, 22 poker players including two local celebrities in the form of a Danish ‘Survivor’ winner and radio presenter, took part in the game with town hall-doves as the nearest spectators!

Winner Jorgensen said: “The fact that the game was high up in the sky certainly added a different element to my play. I’m not at all scared of heights and am a fan of bungee jumping so I targeted players who I thought were keen to get down as quick as possible with aggressive play! In addition, I targeted those who I deduced had less experience. I think there were better players than me on the platform but I kept out of their way as much as possible. The strategy worked.”

“Im delighted to have won a World Open V package – if that event was held 50 metres up I still think I would have some serious problems with players like Mike Sexton and Tom Dwan!”

The 22 poker players were hoisted 50 metres in the air by a crane at City Hall Square in Copenhagen and crowds gathered on the ground looking up. One player who didn’t take part was WSOP Europe bracelet winner and grounded Danish poker hardman Theo Jorgensen (no relation to Johannes), who pulled out the week before due to a fear of heights! Where one Jorgensen was not afraid to push his chips in 50 metres up, the other failed to go all-in with PartyPoker.com in the Sky. “Maybe Theo is getting a bit old,” joked Johannes.

One onlooker amongst the crowd was poker commentator Jesse May : “The idea of a game 50 metres up was spectacular and it was brilliant how the crowds gathered below. Congratulations to Johannes, he’ll have quite some story for the World Open. It must have been a great feeling getting pocket rockets in the sky!”

A PartyPoker.com spokesman said: “Poker in the Sky was a successful tournament and a brilliant experience for the players. We’d like to congratulate Johannes on his win and wish him the very best of luck in the World Open V.”

A group of online qualifiers qualified through a special promotion http://da.partypoker.com/news/items/poker_in_the_sky.html and took part, as did members of PartyPoker.com’s exclusive VIP club, the Palladium Lounge http://www.palladiumlounge.com/

Johannes Jorgensen won a $13,000 package for the PartyPoker.com World Open V, which takes in London between 11 -15 October. The line-up at this prestigious event includes ‘Ambassador of Poker’ Mike Sexton and Tom ‘Durrrr’ Dwan.

There are still chances to qualify online, see: http://www.partypoker.com/news/items/world_open2009.html

PARTYPOKER.COM IN THE SKY AT NIGHT! DENMARK’S HIGHEST GAME GETS UNDERWAY AT 17.00 CET TONIGHT

11th September 2009 — http://www.partypoker.com/ and Ace Magazine have teamed up to create Poker in the Sky, which gets underway in Copenhagen at 17.00 CET to tonight! Poker in the Sky literally rises above everything that you’ve seen before on the Danish poker scene! Floating high above the Town Hall, surrounded by Copenhagen and the spires of the city 22 poker players will play against two local celebrities with town hall-doves as the nearest spectators!

The 22 poker players will be hoisted 50 metres in the air by a crane at City Hall Square in Copenhagen. Hovering over the capital the poker players will compete against each other in a 4 hour long poker tournament. One player who will not be taking part is WSOP Europe bracelet winner and Danish poker hardman Theo Jorgensen, who pulled out this week due to a fear of heights!

A spokesman for PartyPoker.com said: “It’s nearly time to call shuffle up and deal 50 metres up! The game gets underway in daylight but it looks highly likely we’ll need to use the floodlights as it will become PartyPoker.com in the Sky at night. This will be quite some spectacle!”

Two of the 22 seats around the poker table will be occupied by two local celebrities, with a group of online qualifiers taking part. They qualified through a special promotion http://da.partypoker.com/news/items/poker_in_the_sky.html
The 22 poker players will not only have a great view of Copenhagen, the winner of the game will scoop a package for the PartyPoker.com World Open V in London in October. The line-up at this prestigious event includes ‘Ambassador of Poker’ Mike Sexton and Tom ‘Durrrr’ Dwan.

PARTYPOKER.COM INTRODUCES EXCLUSIVE QUALIFIERS FOR ‘THE WORLD’S STRONGEST MAN’ MAKE YOUR WAY TO FAMOUS EVENT FOR JUST 20 PARTYPOINTS

Gibraltar – 9 September 2009 – http://www.partypoker.com/ is delighted to announce that it is the sponsor of ‘The World’s Strongest Man’ in October this year and to celebrate has introduced special online qualifiers where players can win a package worth €1,500 to head to Malta and see the action for themselves!

“Recently we told how Danish poker’s strongest man and champion boxer Theo Jorgensen had pulled out of the upcoming Poker in the Sky in Copenhagen because of a fear of heights. Rumours that we are going to feed him with milkshakes and freeroll him into ‘The World’s Strongest Man’ are completely unfounded.

TOO SCARED OF PARTYPOKER.COM IN THE SKY? DENMARK’S POKER HARDMAN LIKES FIGHTS BUT NOT HEIGHTS!

Gibraltar – 8 September 2009 — http://www.partypoker.com/ and Ace Magazine have teamed up to create Poker in the Sky, which will take place on Friday 11 September in Copenhagen and the countdown is on! Poker in the Sky literally rises above everything that you’ve seen before on the Danish poker scene! Floating high above the Town Hall, surrounded by Copenhagen and the spires of the city, 22 poker players and two celebrities will take part with town hall doves as the nearest spectators.

The latest news sees the unfortunate withdrawal of 2008 WSOP Europe bracelet winner Theo Jorgensen. Top professional Theo doesn’t mind fights in the ring with Gus Hansen but is scared of heights.

A spokesman for PartyPoker.com said: “Theo is one of the nicest guys you will ever meet on the poker circuit but we are disappointed that he has decided he is up for fights and not heights. Theo famously beat Gus Hansen in the much hyped boxing match and got a reputation as a hardman. Maybe Gus should challenge him to a boxing match 50 metres up next time around? Gus would win that as he would have a no show on his hands! In Italy they call a poker ‘fish’ a chicken but we’d never dare call Theo one of those!”

The poker players, sadly without Mr Theo Jorgensen, will be hoisted 50 metres in the air by a crane at City Hall Square in Copenhagen. Hovering over the capital the poker players will compete against each other in a four hour long poker tournament. See http://da.partypoker.com/news/items/poker_in_the_sky.html for more information.
The players will not only have a great view of Copenhagen, the winner of the game will scoop a package for the PartyPoker.com World Open V in London in October. The line-up at this prestigious event includes ‘Ambassador of Poker’ Mike Sexton and Tom ‘Durrrr’ Dwan. The Danish winner of the PartyPoker.com Poker in the Sky wins flights, hotel and a $10,000 buy-in for the tournament in London, which will be broadcast on television worldwide.

By a strange twist of fate, the winner of Sunday’s PartyPoker.com Monthly Million was also from Denmark. Whether Fedling6 likes heights as much as BA Barcaus from ‘The A Team’ likes flying is unclear.
PartyPoker.com Monthly Million – Sunday 6 September 2009 – 1,687 runners, 200 places paid – total prize pool $1,000,000

1^st Fedling6 (DEN) $147,000
