PurePlay Completes Fourth Free Tournament for a Coveted 2009 Poker Championship Seat

In a Down Economy, Many Players Jump at the Opportunity to Win a $10,000 Seat at the World Series of Poker*

PurePlay, the largest legal U.S. play-for-cash online poker destination, today announced completion of its fourth 2009 World Series of Poker* tournament awarding a free seat to next July's Main Event in Las Vegas. PurePlay's $10,000 seat giveaways run monthly and require no buy-ins or deposits of any kind.
"Our WSOP*qualifying tournaments are especially popular these days in an uncertain economy," said PurePlay CEO Jason Kellerman. "Many of our members are telling us how great it is to have an opportunity to win a multimillion dollar jackpot without putting a dime on the line."
The winner of PurePlay's latest qualifying tournament for the World Championship of No Limit Texas Hold 'Em is Douglas H. Clark, of Kennett Square, Pennsylvania. A PurePlay member since 2006, Clark said, "It's amazing to have won this tourney. The fact that I did it without risking any of my own money is especially sweet. Between now and next July I'll hone my poker skills to get ready to compete at the Big Tournament. I'm stoked."
"Doug Clark is just one of many players who will be awarded free entree to the World's Most Prestigious Poker Tournament through our qualifying tournaments," Kellerman said. "We are on track to repeat this year's feat of sending the largest number of competitors to the 2009 WSOP* among all U.S.-based poker sites."
Kellerman added that he expects the excitement surrounding the 2008 Main Event Final Table starting November 9th on ESPN to attract a new contingent of players to PurePlay's upcoming qualifying tournaments. He also noted that these tournaments have strongly contributed to PurePlay's leadership position among U.S.-based poker sites.
