Amateur wins the InterPoker Loser's Leap

2006-07-28 12:00:00

InterPoker's widely anticipated Loser's Leap poker challenge was won by amateur qualifier Nick Grudzien.

The Loser's Leap Extreme Poker Challenge involved a number of poker pros battling against InterPoker online qualifiers with each eliminated player having to undertake a 15,000ft skydive out of the plane into the Vegas desert.

Days before the upcoming World Series of Poker (WSOP) main event, InterPoker hosted its latest extreme event with Phil Laak, Nick Grudzien, Jamie Glasser, Fraser Linkletter and Patrick Neary taking part.

Peter Marcus, InterPoker spokesman, said: "Extreme Poker is all about keeping your cool under extreme duress – and I can't think of a more stressful situation than knowing you must fall 15,000 feet from a moving aircraft if your opponent calls your bluff.

"Trying to concentrate in a bustling casino during the World Series of Poker is tough – but after taking a bad beat and plunging to the desert below, the main event should be a walk in the park for our InterPoker players."
