The Hendon Mob Vies for
Bracelets at the World Series of Poker While Sixteen Lucky PrimaPoker
Satellite Winners Prepare for their First WSOP
Ross 'Rocky' Boatman Wins Over $66,000 in The Five Star World Poker
Classic
LAS VEGAS - The
members of The Hendon Mob, fresh from their stellar performance at the
Five Star World Poker Classic, are preparing for the final stop on the
2004 Prima Poker Tour: The World Series of Poker at Binion's
Horseshoe, which runs through May 28, 2004.
The Hendon Mob,
the PrimaPoker sponsored $1 million team of professional poker
players, are relaxed and ready to face what could be their stiffest
competition yet -- sixteen amateur satellite winners from PrimaPoker.
In addition, an estimated 1,600 players will descend on Las Vegas from
around the world for a chance to win the final pot that could go as
high as three million dollars.
"We're thrilled
that such a diverse group of winners, men and women, from Mississippi,
Hawaii, Florida and Virginia, not to mention our international players
from Canada, England, Norway and Sweden will all have a shot at
biggest prize in poker history," said Tamar Yaniv of PrimaPoker.
"We're dedicated to sending more players to more tournaments than ever
before, and we wish all our players, amateur and professional, the
best of luck."
The Bracelet
Events in the World Series of Poker began on April 21 and culminate in
the "Main Event" running from May 22-28. In between those events on
May 16th at 6pm EST, PrimaPoker will sponsor "Beat the Mob II," a
chance for players around the world to go online and go head-to-head
with The Hendon Mob, even if they can't be at the World Series of
Poker.
The Mob is coming
off a very solid finish in the Five Star World Poker Classic. So soon
after his first-place finish in the British Open, Ross "Rocky" Boatman
ranked 18th in the in the money field of 50 players and walked away
with $66,532.
Naturally, the
Hendon Mob is ready to rumble at The Horseshoe.
"All the talk in
Vegas is about how PrimaPoker has changed the face of the sport with
their sponsorship of The Hendon Mob," said Barny Boatman of the Hendon
Mob. "We look forward to playing with PrimaPoker's on-line qualifiers
at the World Series of Poker and to playing everyone who couldn't make
it to Las Vegas in our 'Beat The Mob' challenge on May 16th. This year
we're going for gold."
