• Couple Wins Seats on PartyPoker Cruise

January 23, 2006 - GIBRALTAR – (PRESS RELEASE) -- This isn't Kansas anymore! That's what Sam and Janice Marsh will be saying while enjoying the tropical sun in Jamaica and the Cayman Islands after each of them won separate entries on the same day, beating thousands of players in two different types of games to win seats on the PartyPoker Million V cruise March 19-26, aboard the luxurious Holland America's ms Westerdam. Sam, 53, and Janice, 52, have been married for 34 years and raise cattle on their farm in the remote town of Columbus, Kansas. Janice qualified for a $55,000 tournament on the 9th January through PartyBingo after a string of wins in recent months made her top of a leaderboard of thousands. Sam qualified on the same day for the $5-million poker event, the world's largest limit Texas Hold'em tournament, after investing just $5! Both will receive packages, worth $13,500 each, for two people - so they will be taking other members of their family. More remarkably, the Marsh's accomplished the feat while sharing one computer at home between them. "Janice plays bingo a lot and I get online to play poker whenever I can get her off the computer!" said Sam, a local attorney. "Janice got a call in the morning saying she'd won a place on the cruise and I said to her: 'I'm going to win a place, too.' " Later that night, an excited Sam woke Janice to tell her that he'd achieved his goal. Shortly thereafter they called daughter Shelley and husband Heath, who live in Arkansas, to invite them aboard. "Nothing like this has ever happened to us before," said Janice. "I can't wait; it's unreal. We went on a cruise around the Caribbean in 1996, but otherwise we haven't ever been abroad and have never used our passports. My dream vacation was to take my family on a cruise." Janice, who describes herself as a true bingo enthusiast, has played online since October 2004. "I love the fact that you can chat with people online and make some really good friends. Through online bingo, I've learned a lot about other countries. I play every day." In contrast, husband Sam, has also been playing online since October 2004, doesn't play poker all that frequently. "I'm tickled to death by winning - I don't rate myself as much of a player, but the way I see it, I'm going to be playing the only game where you can play pros and have the chance of winning. I aim to stay focused and, hopefully, I'll get a bit lucky," he said. PartyPoker spokesman Warren Lush said: "This is the first time a couple have both qualified for an event on the same day and we're very much looking forward to welcoming them aboard." "Some people are luckier than others, but it is not normally us!" notes Janice. "With millions of dollars up for grabs, it's a question of how long can our luck hold out!"
