Oooh...Trash talking has never felt so good!
This is clearly the sentiment of the college students involved in
HoldEmRivals.com's new online poker tournament. The online betting site's
tournament features fans from rival college football teams that will come
together to play their best poker in order to vindicate their alamater, while
also getting the chance to win some cash prizes and brand new iPod Shuffles.
The trash talk comes in with the fact that the
betting will take place a week or less from when the actual teams will duke it
out on the football field. Talk about some tension!
First on the online betting site's agenda are the
diehard fans of Ohio State and the University of Michigan. Their card
slinging shootout will take place on Tuesday, November 15th with a minimal
buy-in of just $10. It is clear that this college-based online betting
site is more focused on the competitive rivalry involved more than big-money
buy-ins.
Justin Goff of HoldEmRivals.com says, "We want to
leave the doors open to as many people who want to participate as possible.
What better way to represent your team and school, while also winning some
cash!"
