Now I\u2019ll be the first to admit that this here promotion has given me a few sleepless nights and you know the sick thing is I\u2019m not even taking part!<\/p>\n
As for the rest of you nervously reading along at home desperately wanting to know when we would announce just who the winner is\u2026well believe me when I say this I\u2019ve been feeling just the same! I\u2019ve been nervously tapping the F5 key on my computer almost into oblivion and damn it I work here! I literally have no fingernails left, a very strange and patchy beard and quite the worn out edge of my seat.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s been a struggle you see, as nothing quite goes to plan when you factor in the greatest poker circus the world has ever seen, that’s right the WSOP. Then when you\u2019re trying to get an answer from someone who\u2019s been stuck in a world of cash games in an environment where let\u2019s face it they do leave out the clocks and windows for a reason, well it just makes it all a little more erm \u2018challenging\u2019 shall we say?<\/p>\n
But enough of this I say, the time has come to tell the world who shall go to the ball! It\u2019s time to pull this plaster off once and for all, quick and fast I say! So if you have a drum roll machine start it up now\u00a0 as I say \u201cLadies and Gentlemen the winner is\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026<\/b><\/p>\n
Daniel Sauva with his \u201cGood Deed Hugs\u201d video which goes like this:<\/strong><\/p>\n We really loved Dan\u2019s entry right from the start, it was unique, funny and captured something pretty special about this promotion plus it also tugged at our heartstrings a fair bit, however all of that still wasn\u2019t enough to secure his place at the 2012 WSOP Main Event. It needed to get the thumbs up from Jungleman. Which at a very blurry o\u2019clock this morning we\u2019re happy to announce that the much sought after email came into our inbox saying \u201cHugs Wins\u2026\u201d<\/em><\/b><\/p>\n So once again I caught up once again with Sauva<\/a> and this morning he was a bit speechless to be honest, after breathing heavier than a pregnant woman about to give birth to triplets I got him to calm down a bit, honestly I thought I\u2019d phoned some weird chat line to start with\u2026<\/p>\n \u201cLook if this is a joke, it\u2019s not funny\u201d<\/b> began Sauva only to discover that infact I wasn\u2019t kidding. He then carried on with \u201cWords cannot possibly describe how incredibly excited, gobsmacked and thankful I am. This is a dream come true. Wait, this is real right? Somebody slap me. Whoop whoop! Vegas baby!\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n After taking a breather, screaming loudly in my ear and possibly doing numerous fist pump like an extra from Jersey Shore Dan finished off by saying \u201cI want\u00a0 to give a massive thank you to Jungleman, the guys at PartyPoker and everyone who voted and supported me for making this happen. I am lost for words. See you at the World Series of Poker Main Event. Wow.”<\/b><\/p>\n So there we have it folks, for Daniel Sauva this is just the start of a huge poker adventure, nothing comes bigger in poker than this believe us. In literally less than a week he\u2019ll be jetting off from London courtesy of Jungleman all the way to fabulous Las Vegas ! He\u2019ll be staying at the glamorous Palazzo Hotel and Resort, living the highlife and enjoying all that Vegas has to offer ohhh and on top of all that he\u2019ll be playing in the world\u2019s largest tournament that right Event#61 aka the WSOP2012 Main Event at the Rio and hoping to make some serious poker history!<\/p>\n So if you missed any of the videos before then here’s a playlist of the videos that we’re submitted for Daniel ‘Jungleman’ Cates WSOP Main Event Challenge:<\/p>\n With over 30 Good Deed<\/a> videos submitted it was always going to be a tough call for Jungleman I’m sure you’ll agree!
