GIBRALTAR, October 1 /PRNewswire/ --

- James Wins Wii, Sports Car and US$52,000 Bad Beat Jackpot in Just two 
Months at PartyPoker.Com!

22-year-old James McManus from Dublin, Ireland was the big
winner of PartyPoker.com's 'The Grind' promotion, winning a Mini Cooper S
Convertible in the prize draw, a Nintendo Wii when he came sixth at the final
table of a Grindroll, and, if this wasn't enough, less than two months before
he won US$52,000 on the famous PartyPoker.com Bad Beat Jackpot!!

James recently finished studying Maths at college and intends
to work in the finance industry or as a Maths teacher but got a massive boost
after winning the equivalent of nearly US$100,000 in two months!

"It has been a good couple of months," said James with great
understatement. "I didn't have many debts but I've paid off all that I did
have! I intend to use some of the money to build a bankroll for online cash
games. I've thought about the tournament circuit a bit but I would need a
bigger bankroll and I'm happy where I am now!"

"I opted to take US$40,000 rather than the car. A Mini Cooper
S Convertible would be great but I don't really have the need for it at the
moment. I'm looking forward to getting my Wii though. I also won the Bad Beat
jackpot two months ago. I had pocket queens and flopped quads, my opponent
had quad nines! They got US$104,000 and I got US$52,000 and I won the hand!
That was brilliant but to win all of this in such a short period of time is
fantastic!"

James acknowledged that his maths skills can come in handy in
his play but that he had just been on a very, very good run. "It has been
going great recently. I normally play 2/4 or 3/6 no limit cash games and the
odd tournament. I intend to stick to the same stakes for the time being and
build on what I have."

A PartyPoker.com spokesman said: "To bag a Wii, win a sports
car in a draw and pocket US$52,000 for flopping quad queens in just two
months almost beggars belief, it is unprecedented. James is a great guy but
it almost seems that someone is out there looking out for him!"

'The Grind' promotion featured US$100,000 worth of Grindrolls
and ran until the 9th September 2007. To qualify for Grindrolls, users had to
earn at least 25 PartyPoints per day over a three day period by playing on
the site. Once this was achieved they then qualified for the US$2,000
Grindroll. The more PartyPoints a player earned in a day, the bigger
Grindroll they were entered for. James managed to 'Grind' for five days in
each of the two weeks of the promotion and was automatically entered into the
prize draw to win the Mini Cooper S Convertible. Other prizes won in
Grindrolls included 80 Nintendo Wii's and 120 80GB video iPods.
