A
computer goof has Robert Guinther headed for a seat
at the
World Series of Poker tournament in Las Vegas later
this week.
Guinther, 65, entered what he
thought was a $10 online poker tournament, but midway
through he realized that he had accidentally clicked
on a World Series of Poker satellite tournament with
a $100 entry fee and it was too late to back out.
He went on to win, defeating 180 other competitors
and earning a spot in the WSOP $10,000 no-limit
championship.
The tournament, which begins
Thursday, will involve more than 6,600 players who
either qualified by winning a satellite tournament
or paid the $10,000 entry fee. "This is the dream
of a lifetime," Guinther said. "I watch
these guys on television all the time, and I'm excited
about the chance to sit down and play with them."
