Bluff Magazine head honcho Eric Morris has announced that his company has teamed up with Mansion Poker.net to bring Bubble Insurance back bigger and better for the 2006 World Series of Poker Main Event.
In 2005, Bluff Magazine introduced Bubble Insurance at the World Series of Poker Main Event, and had over 350 people participate by wearing a Bubble Insurance shirt. Knowing the mindset of the modern poker player better than most, Bluff imagined the last five people missing out on cashing in at the World Series of Poker. Normally these players would be nervous wrecks, but by signing up for Bluff/MansionPoker.net Bubble Insurance at www.bluffmagazine.com, they can guarantee their buy-in to next year’s WSOP Main Event.
Bluff and Mansion Poker will buy players in to next year’s World Series of Poker Main Event if they bust out within 5 spots of money, and the top six finishers wearing a Bubble Insurance shirt will also win a spot to face off against each other on Poker’s newest stage, the Mansion Poker.net Poker Dome (see previous reports). A package valued at $8 000, with the winner taking home $25 000, and a shot at the million dollar first prize.
The top 6 bubble insurance finishers will join 210 other participants in the Poker Dome Challenge. They will play in one of 36 televised qualifiers. The winner of each qualifier will win $25 000, and a seat in one of the six televised semi finals. Winners of the semi-finals will receive a $50 000 cash prize and a seat at the televised final, which will be broadcast live on March 17, 2007. The final will award the winner take all million dollar prize pool.
