Bluff Magazine Joins MansionPoker for WSOP Main Event Bubble Insurance

Wednesday, May 24, 2006
ATLANTA -- Bluff Magazine, one of America's leading poker magazine, announced today that they've teamed up with MansionPoker.net to bring Bubble Insurance back for 2006 World Series of Poker Main Event.
 
  They've also blown up the Bubble Insurance even larger than last year.
In 2005, Bluff Magazine introduced Bubble Insurance at the WSOP Main Event and had over 350 people participate by wearing a Bubble Insurance shirt. Bluff Magazine, knowing the mindset of the modern poker player better than anyone, imagined the last five people missing out on cashing in at the World Series of Poker. Normally you would be a nervous wreck, but by signing up for Bluff/MansionPoker.net Bubble Insurance at www.bluffmagazine.com, you are guaranteed your buy-in to next year's WSOP Main Event.
Not only will Bluff and Mansion Poker buy you in to next year's World Series of Poker Main Event if you bust out within 5 spots of the money, but the top six finishers wearing a Bubble Insurance shirt will also win a spot to face off against each other on Poker's newest stage, the MansionPoker.net Poker Dome. A package valued at $8,000, with the winner taking home $25,000, and a shot at the million dollar first prize.
For those of you unfamiliar, The MansionPoker.net Poker Dome Challenge is turning the televised poker tournament into a live spectator sport. The revolutionary arena constructed from soundproof, one-way glass will allow players to compete in complete isolation and free from the influence of fans' reactions, while an outside audience of 200 will see and hear everything that happens within, including each players' hole cards, heart rate and chip count.
