The seven bwin qualifiers would be in for an amazing weekend that not only included getting in some time with AC Milan, but a weekend of enjoying the world-famous bwin hospitality, sampling only the best hotels, restaurants, and nightclubs that Milan had to offer.
Football highlights included an exclusive tour through the San Siro stadium, training time at the Milanello Training Center, and a chance to meet players including Gattuso, Nesta, and Inzaghi.

After the bwin players showed their skills on the pitch, however, it was time to show what they could do on the felt, when the seven players sat down to decide who would move on to the Magic Moments of Poker finals and compete for a $100,000 bwin pro poker sponsorship.
Here was the lineup for the poker action:
Seat 1 - vargalaci73
Seat 2 - henne827
Seat 3 - JPC2A
Seat 4 - gosamp
Seat 5 - vins79
Seat 6 - Taggy211
Seat 7 - ReubenJo
With the cameras rolling, a slow blind structure, and a mountain of chips to begin with, early action was careful and measured. As with any tournament, though, a winner eventually emerges, and in this case it was henne827 who emerged victorious, defeating fellow German Taggy211 in a tough heads-up battle. henne827's victory means that he grabs the second seat the Magic Moments of Poker finals, where the players who advance will battle it out for the $100,000 poker pro sponsorship deal to some of the world's biggest live poker events.
