Need For Speed? Play Online Poker Against Giancarlo Fisichella!

Who’s the latest fiercely competitive and an aggressive sportsperson, who has more than 200 F1 (including 3 wins) under his belt? You guessed it right - It is with new Ferrari F1 driver Giancarlo ‘Fisi’ Fisichella, and he has just inked a deal to serve as ambassador for Party Poker.

36-year old Fisichella scored a big impression with his high-octane performance at the Sports Stars Challenge IV event in London earlier this year says, “Poker has become a very popular pastime in the paddock in recent months with many of the drivers. I have joined two new teams recently and am delighted to be in pole position as a new ambassador for Party Poker.”

Party Poker is celebrating Fisichella’s arrival with a spate of daily freerolls, giving internet poker players on their site a chance to win a slice of a €500 prize pool. The winners would also receive a shirt autographed by Fisichella. Since only internet poker players from Italy can participate, players from other countries will have to stand on the side lines and cheer the Italian players on. Seats for the Fisichella €500 Freeroll are going to be allocated on a first-come first-serve basis between now and October 31, making it imperative for any poker player worth his or her salt to start vying for that magical moment.

“Giancarlo is the fantastic new ambassador for Party Poker”, is the general sentiment at Party Poker, “The freerolls are exclusive to Italian residents but the rest of the world and the international poker circuit are likely to feel the force of Fisichella as he gets involved in the game. Many commentators have already said that they believe that he is on track to be one of the best celebrity players on the poker circuit. He is one to watch as he moves through his gears but you have to pay attention as he moves very fast on the felt and he's always got his hand on the pump.”

Party Poker has clearly brought in a winner here!
