Won a trip to watch England v Paraguay in Germany courtesy of Mansion Poker.

As a valued Member at MANSION, we would like you to be the first to know about our exciting partnership with airline FlyBe. MANSION is proud to announce our sponsorship of a FlyBe BAe-146 aircraft, which will fly the MANSION brand throughout Europe for a two year period.

Total estimated package value is over GBP 2,000.

The night before the game, I played in a special England v Paraguay tourney on Mansion Poker where I finished 2/63. As well as $126 for second place I also got the chance for an extra $60 per goal scored in the game and also $100 for every goal scored by a player wearing the #2 shirt.

Obviously I was hoping for a goal fest on the day...
