Win a Seat with Phil Hellmuth in Kentucky Derby Poker Championship

Lance Bradley | April 1, 2008

Many poker fans have dreamed of sitting down at a poker table with 11-time World Series of Poker bracelet winner Phil Hellmuth. Now, thanks to TwinSpires.com, that dream is going to come true for one lucky fan.

Players who sign-up for an account with TwinSpires.com, the official advance deposit wagering service for Churchill Downs Incorporated, by April 12 will be entered in a random drawing to win the “Ultimate Kentucky Derby Player’s Weekend” which includes both a VIP trip for two to the 134th running of the $2 million-guaranteed Kentucky Derby on Saturday, May 3 and a seat at Hellmuth’s table at the Kentucky Derby Poker Championship, a pro-celebrity poker charity event at Caesars Indiana that evening.

The Kentucky Derby Poker Championship is a $2,500 buy-in tournament hosted by Hellmuth and fellow professional poker player Robert Williamson III. The tournament will benefit the international Red Cross/Red Crescent Climate Centre, the Health and Climate Foundation, and the Robby Albarado Foundation, a new organization founded by jockey Robby Albarado that assists homeless and socially and economically disadvantaged residents in the Louisville area.

“TwinSpires.com is thrilled to offer up this once-in-a-lifetime Kentucky Derby experience while also supporting such worthy causes,” said Jeremy Clemons, TwinSpires.com’s vice president of Marketing. “The combination of being a VIP guest at the world’s greatest horse race before going head-to-head that evening with the one of the world’s best poker players is an experience that is truly unique. We believe it will be attractive to both horseplayers who enjoy poker and poker players who are interested in learning more about horse racing.”

The drawing for the winner of the “Ultimate Kentucky Derby Player’s Weekend” will be conducted on Sunday, April 13. New members must sign-up for their TwinSpires.com accounts by April 12 to be eligible for the drawing. New account holders must use the promotion code TSPOKER to be included in the prize drawing.
