Party Poker signs Jaime Alguersuari
It seems that these days every large poker website is trying to get ahead by getting their name tied to stars. With Annette Oberstad being recruited by Full Tilt Poker, Party Poker could not have missed their chance and signed a deal with Jaime Alguersuari, a young, talented… Formula 1 racing driver. While you would expect them to counteract by contracting an equally famous poker star, Jaime Alguersuari is actually, in his own words, a novice of the game.
Jaime has made his Formula One debut in 2009, during the Hungarian Grand Prix. He actually set a world record, being the youngest driver ever to race in the most prestigious class of motor sports – the F1. Since then, he recently placed in a point-winning spot on the grid, so he hopes that the deal he has now made with PartyPoker will earn him some… PartyPoints.
Although he is not fully committed with poker, he admits he has always loved the game, and, in fact, many Formula 1 drivers are avid poker players. He hopes to trump them all by his move to become a PartyPoker ambassador. From now on, he will take part in exclusive tournaments hosted online, at PartyPoker, and he’ll be the “prize” of coming promotions that will give players a chance to meet him – one promotion will actually give out tickets to the Spanish Grand Prix, held in Valencia on June 27th.
This move is part of PartyPoker’s continuous promotion strategy, which involves hosting a number of online and live poker tournaments, placing ads on many large websites around the internet, and the constant promotions and rewards the people at PartyPoker are constantly offering players.
If you’d like to see what the deal is at PartyPoker.com, feel free to register and play yourself. While registering, you can enter “just500” in the party poker bonus code field, and get a 100% bonus for up to 500$ on your first deposit, plus the chance to win the promotions and meet Jamie Alguersuari.
