Online poker tourney winner Claude Mason will be playing in this year’s WSOP representing SunPoker.com. The 35 year old is from Taylor, Michigan and is SunPoker’s King of the Palace Champion. Just for playing online poker and having a great time winning, he won the online poker room’s $10,000 Grand Prize package that includes a seat to play in the 2006 World Series of Poker in Las Vegas. His trip and accommodations are all paid as well.

He won by playing in the four month long online poker tourney - King of the Palace, a sequence of online poker games and live poker tourneys that were geared towards crowning the champ with the fabulous online poker player award.  

The winner, a father to three children, played his best online poker game against thousands of other online poker players. He beat 9 other tourney finalists live at the Palace of Auburn Hills to win his seat to the richest poker event in history.  He has only dreamed of getting a chance to play in any WSOP event, now his dream is reality. Call it a pre Father’s Day gift, but this is one happy online poker player. He plans of taking his family with him to Vegas for the event, too.

Not only will Claude Mason's family be in Las Vegas with him, so will poker professional Kenna James who has invited him to a private Sun Poker Party for a few rounds of poker playing lessons before the WSOP Main Event starts. This sounds like a great time. Good Luck Claude mason.
