Harvard Student Wins Free Seat At World Series Of Poker
For those of you who think the world is an unfair place where money goes to money and those in need never get a break from Dame Fortune, you're absolutely right! A Harvard student, whose parents shell out six figures a year to keep him ensconsed in the ultimate ivory tower of education, has just won a free seat at this year's $10,000 World Series Of Poker Main Event at an online poker room.
Online poker websites will be responsible for footing the bill for the majority of this year's players at the WSOP main event. The kid from Harvard was in the news last year when he captained a Harvard poker team to victory over a Yale poker team. The poker team from Princeton was not invited, and was told to play bridge against Dartmouth instead.
The poker competition was held at the same time as the famous annual football game between the two Ivy League schools, simply known as "The Game". Harvard won that as well, and then reminded the Yalies that they have to spend all their time in the slum known as New Haven before wishing them goodbye.
