Loto-Quebec has announced that it will be giving one lucky player the chance to take a seat at poker’s biggest ever buy-in tournament. The 2012 World Series of Poker (WSOP) “BIG ONE for ONE DROP” $1million buy-in event will see one lucky Poutine devourer sitting at one of the sought-after seats. The Grand Tournoi de poker Loto-Quebec will take place from 19th to 20th May 2012 at the Casino du Lac-Leamy and gives professional and amateur poker players the chance to win a seat at poker’s biggest ever buy-in tournament.
Seats at that tournament can be won across almost 400 satellite tournaments held at Quebec’s four casinos. The state lottery’s site, EspaceJeux.com, also has monthly satellites as well as two lottery products. If none of that inspires you then a seat can be bought for $25,000.
