SpadeClub Awards First Two of Four World Series Main Event Seats Combined Value of $24000



SpadeClub, a subscription-based poker community, has awarded two of the four World Series of Poker* main event seats that it is offering this summer. Charles "labotomy" Goodwin and Ken "Handbone" Meyer placed first and second, respectively, in SpadeClub's first-ever World Series $40K Giveaway, which awards two grand prizes of $12,000 main-event prize packages. Both members will represent the SpadeClub community in the 2008 WSOP*. SpadeClub will also host a freeroll tournament with a growing prize pool based on how well the sponsored members do. That freeroll is restricted to Exclusive members. The next two members to represent the SpadeClub community will be determined on June 29 at the second World Series $40K Giveaway.

Meyer had this to say of his SpadeClub experience: "I would like to thank everyone at SpadeClub for providing me with the opportunity to win the world's most prestigious prize (the World Series main-event championship title) at no cost to me. I am honored to be one of the first to represent you! I'm very dedicated (to the game), and I'll do my best to stand out and gain respect for the entire SpadeClub Community."
