Unique poker promotion pits online champion against mystery player
in high-stakes, heads-up match. PokerWorld.com announced today what
may arguably be the single most lucrative heads-up match in poker
history, and what is indisputably the only major poker championship
featuring a mystery player. Dubbed the PokerWorld Million Dollar
Showdown, the event pits PokerWorld.com's online champion against
'The Pokerface,' a masked player whose identity is virtually
unknownin a televised heads-up match. Making the announcement at
the 2004 World Series of Poker Tournament at Binions Horseshoe
Casino in Las Vegas, PokerWorld guaranteed a prize payout of
$500,000 for the PokerWorld Championship Tournament and an
additional $500,000 added in a dramatic, live showdown. If the
PokerWorld Champion triumphs: he will win $625,000 (minimum),
forcing 'The Pokerface to unmask before the world. If 'The
Pokerface' wins: his identity remains a secret and the pot carries
forward to next year's event. The event begins June 1, 2004 on
PokerWorld.com with initial satellites for the PokerWorld
Championship Tournament. PokerWorld.com's Million Dollar Showdown
is a truly unique event that pays homage to the poker lore of the
past when infamous characters went head to head in high-stakes
matches. We know our players will have a lot of fun competing for
the opportunity to play in this prestigious poker event and the
final showdown promises to be both an entertaining poker game and a
compelling television spectacle. In essence, 'The Pokerface'
represents the prototypical online player. He/she is completely
anonymous offering no physical tells. Unlike the prototypical
player however, we've put a $500,000 bounty on the head of this
player. It's up to the poker players out there to take up the
challenge of collecting that prize. Director of Marketing,

way to find out - make it to the finals of PokerWorld's Million
Dollar Showdown and beat me in a single, heads-up match. The
Pokerface Over the coming weeks, PokerWorld.com will unveil a
series of clues as to the true identity of The Pokerface with
special prizes awarded to those able to guess the name of the
player behind the million-dollar mask. The PokerWorld champion will
be crowned Nov. 14/2004 with The PokerFace Showdown following two
weeks later on Nov. 28/2004.     About PokerWorld By players for
