Illinois Father Of Two Hits Lottery At Popular Online Poker Site

Pekin, Illinois father of two wins $125,000 prize package in Texas Hold'em tournament at popular online poker site.

Miami, March 13, 2007 -- A Pekin, Illinois machinist can add bluffing skills to his tool belt after winning access to over $100 million in tournament prize pools through Absolute Poker - a popular online poker site.

Scott Carroll walked away from the March 4th Absolute Dream Package final event with a prize package valued at $125,000. The package includes entries into 10 of the richest poker tournaments including the World Series of Poker and several WPT events, a buy-in to the world's largest televised Texas Hold'em cash game and one-on-one training from Cardplayer's 2006 Player of the Year, Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi.

"Being a professional poker player has always been my dream," notes Carroll. "I entered the Absolute Dream Package online poker tournament because I felt this would be a good opportunity."

His feelings were correct. To claim his seat in the Texas Holdem tournament, Carroll played in a $24 satellite at Absolute Poker and placed second. He used his winnings from that event to cover over half of the entry fee to the Absolute Dream Package final event. The rest is history.

Due to the success of the promotion, Absolute Poker is giving another one of its players the chance to follow in Scott Caroll's footsteps in this month's Absolute Dream Package contest.

"For practically no money at all, someone will get to experience what I'm going through," says Scott Carroll. "It's like hitting the poker lottery and it's the chance of a lifetime for all aspiring poker players."
