CHELMSFORD, ENGLAND, March 10, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- RakeTheRake is pleased to announce an exclusive $500 freeroll on offer with the unique opportunity to play against Ilari "Ziigmund" Sahamies, PowerPoker's pro player. The freeroll, taking place on Sunday 21 March has a $100 bounty on Ziigmund.

Sahamies, from Finland, started playing poker at 15 years old in home games with friends. After his first experience of real casino poker, he quickly moved into the online game and accelerated through the stake levels. On reaching the highest stakes games he became renowned for his highly variable style. And for throwing cash away.

Since then, Ziigmund has evolved more discipline and a steady winning trend. In 2008 his winnings totalled $1.6 million, with a profit of $2.6 million generated between August 2008 and January 2009.

His passion for poker is reflected in his desire to play some low and medium stake games on PowerPoker so that regular players have the chance to play a pro. He also participates in several tournaments and PowerPoker promotions where players can face him in a live environment.
