The top prize featured is a seat to the 2010 World Poker Tour Celebrity Invitational tournament on February 20^th and 21^st.  This is a huge deal to any poker player because of the notoriety and high-profile of the WPTC.  It’s a great event that is watched worldwide and brings in many main stream sponsors and deals to the industry.
