Goodwin for MANSION - Marc Makes his Mark at Manchester GUKPT

GIBRALTAR, April 28 /PRNewswire/ --     MansionPoker (http://www.mansionpoker.com/) is pleased to announce that
MANSION sponsor pro Marc "Mr Cool" Goodwin has won the Manchester leg of the
GUKPT taking home with him GBP90,420 ($180.000 USD). With a record breaking
first day performance, Marc took out 14 players in the first day, and started
Day 2 with more chips then any other player in this type of tournament.

Marc dominated for the most part in the well subscribed 309 runner event,
with 12 Mansion players taking part (10 qualified through Badbeat.com), and 2
players making it to the Final Table. Mansion and Bad Beat trainee player
Aarun Bernard walked into Marc's Ace deuce, and his pocket QQ failed to hold
up for a very respectable 5th place finish.

A final heads up battle with Nik Persaud saw the action heat up when Marc
raised pre flop to 80,000 and Nik flat called. The board came A 3 10, Marc
pushed and Nik went into the Tank for what seemed like an age before calling
with K 10 against Marc's A 8. The turn and river brought two Jacks, awarding
Marc the victory and GBP90,000 in prize money!

Head of MansionPoker (http://www.mansionpoker.com/), Jon Sullivan, said
"Marc's play was impressive, and with the quality of our members, a Mansion
player to win was always on the cards. I'd also like to extend many thanks to
all the Mansion/Bad Beat players who took part, with a special mention to
John 'fishalot' Hughes who also represented Mansion, and bought in using his
VPP."
