----------------------------------- PokerGuru 21.07.2007, 03:17 CONTEST Famous First: WINNER ANNOUNCED! ----------------------------------- Well, gang, before July is 3/4 gone, I had better get some contests out before doing anything else. For $30........CONTEST: Famous Firsts Deadline to post your answer here is the end of the month. You must have 3000 PC points to redeem for the $30 if you win. You must also have a Neteller or ECOcard account to be paid. You will be able to see one another's answers here, so this is an honor contest. To help you avoid the temptation to lose honor, even if you were the only one to know you had, (to help you keep from being tempted to copy someone else's answer)......... I may have a member cooperating to help by posting a convincing but wrong answer somewhere among the posts. All you have to do to have a chance to win is to answer this question in a post here: Who was the first poker player to win more than a million dollars in tournament play at the WSOP? If more than one member submits the correct answer, the winners's name will be randomly drawn from among those correct. My wooden humidor will be used for the drawing. Good guessing or good investigating to you all!
