The World Series of Poker Europe is set to begin this September, and poker player are scrambling to find qualifiers and super satellites to get in. One player found a unique contest, where Betfair Poker players were asked to guess how many poker chips filled up a Mini Cooper. When the Swedish poker pro, Marcus Gustafson, sent in his guess, he was only three chips off of the accurate count: 127,644 chips. This won Marcus a trip to London and accommodations in a nice hotel, as well as entry into the World Series of Poker Europe Main Event. Last year's first main event winner, Annette Obrestad, participated in filling the Cooper contest as well.
