Lucky winners of Aces.com's weekly online poker tournaments have been the beneficiaries of football tickets since the beginning of this soon-ending NFL season. In honor of the end of the season, Aces.com staged its final weekly poker tournament, which boasted a grand prize of two tickets to the Super Bowl, as well as airfare to and lodging in Detroit. The Super Bowl prize package was won by Thomas S., a Redskins fan from Amsterdam, New York, who has called himself, “just an average card player." He certainly had his eyes on the prize, though, having entered in nearly every weekly poker tournament since the beginning of the season.

Even though his favorite team isn't in the running, the online poker winner had some advice for this year's Super Bowl contenders: “My advice for betting the Super Bowl would be the team with the better defense is a stronger play."

In addition to the poker tournament final, a similar prize also went to Robert H. who won the online gaming site's “Fan of the Season" contest. With each wager made at Aces.com, bettors also gained an entry “ticket" into the contest. Robert was lucky enough to win the contest's random drawing.
