As if all that wasn't incentive enough, there was even more to play for, as a chance at a $100,000 poker pro sponsorship was also up for grabs. Each stop on the Magic Moments of Poker tour features a private poker tournament where the qualifiers do battle, with the winner earning a spot in the Magic Moments of Poker finals to be held at the end of the series, where the finals winner will emerge with a $100,000 sponsorship deal to some of the biggest live poker tournaments around the globe.
As far as the action at Jerez, the bwin players were treated to an amazing time, as is the case for the bwin Team at all live events. Luxurious hotel accomodations, dinners at the finest restaurants, hitting up all the best clubs for drinks, you name it, the players experienced it. They also got the VIP treatment at the MotoGP race itself, taken on a tour of the track by Randy Mamola, visiting the drivers, taken on scooter rides around the racetrack, and watching the race from the VIP Village.

With all the fun and racing out of the way, it was time to get down to some serious poker business, with the private tournament held trackside and filmed and recorded for later broadcast. Here was the starting lineup for the poker action:
Seat 1: maurino71
Seat 2: Wretched84
Seat 3: viragazakna
Seat 4: Martinariel
Seat 5: kidandbulley
Seat 6: Chipkicker67
After all the usual twists and turns, bluffs and big bets, it was a heads-up battle between Wretched84 and Chipkicker67, with the winner reserving a spot in the Magic Moments of Poker finals.
In a very fitting end to an awesome weekend of racing, the heads-up match ended with a race as well, with all of the chips going in pre-flop and Chipkicker67 holding A♦ 8♦ versus Wretched84's 5♠ 5♣. A flop of 4♣ 4♦ 8♣ gave the lead to Chipkicker67, with the turn of A♥ and J♥ on the river sealing his victory.
A very happy Chipkicker67 with his winning hand
Congratulations to Chipkicker67 for his win, and good luck to him in the Magic Moments of Poker finals where he'll take his shot at the $100,000 poker pro sponsorship prize. Qualifying is currently running for the next stop on the Magic Moments of Poker tour, which is PokerIsland, so there's still plenty of time to make your own reservations for an amazing time with the bwin team!.
