Last year online poker room Absolute Poker offered a free poker tournament for college students, with the winner receiving a check that covered their college tuition; this year's "Win Your Tuition" event promises to attract students in even greater numbers than last year's success. The tournament, which is a popular Texas Hold'em event, is expected to draw over ten thousand players, all of whom are trying to qualify for the May 4th main event. The winner of the main event in May will win one semester's tuition paid in full. Second place winner will get a laptop and other players will win an Apple iPod.
The initial Win Your Tuition event drew more than eight thousand students from over three hundred schools in seventeen countries.
