Online Poker Player Wins Super Bowl Trip 26 Jan 2006 A regular at the weekly Aces Online Casino "NFL Poker Tournament" has won the grand prize, an all-expense paid trip to Super Bowl XL in Detroit. Throughout the NFL season, Aces Online Casino has awarded a pair of NFL tickets to the winner of their weekly online poker tournaments. Tom S. of Amsterdam, New York won the last tournament of the season, the biggest prize to the biggest game of the year. "I played in the tournament just about every week, but I'm really just an average card player," said the excited winner. "When it got down to two players, I was well behind and I just tried to double up a couple of times. The other players were all great - but we all wanted that grand prize!" Tom's prize package includes airfare from New York, hotel and tickets to the game for him and a guest. "My favorite team is the Redskins. Maybe next year...," Tom said when asked who he'd be rooting for in Detroit. "My advice for betting the Super Bowl would be the team with the better defense is a stronger play." In addition to the NFL Poker Tournament winner, the retro-Vegas style casino/sportsbook is also sending their 'Fan of the Season' to the Super Bowl.
