Shane Warne, WSOP Trip Prizes in Aussie Home Game

Aussie poker player Nathan Perry’s dream came true when he won Shane Warne as a prize in the 888.com Ultimate Home Game tournament. The top prize was an evening with Warne, who  then came to the winner’s home to play a poker game with the winner and eight of his friend while waitresses served pizza and beer.

Warne, who is set to play at the upcoming World Series of Poker in Las Vegas, is also featured in 888’s latest promotion, which will again see the former sports star and media phenomenon attend a lucky Ultimate Home Game house to play poker. 888.com is giving its Australian Pacific Poker players the chance to have cricketing legend Shane Warne play in their home game. Additionally, the winner of the 888 tournament will fly to Vegas with Warne with $2,000 spending money, stay in a five-star hotel, and play the WSOP main event.

Matt Robinson, marketing director of 888.com, said, "888.com's Ultimate Home Game online poker tournaments became very popular in Australia, attracting poker and Shane Warne fans from across the country," said Robinson. "We want to give them the thrill of a life time and [the chance to] play with Shane Warne at the 2008 WSOP."
