PokerStars Passport 2007

Dustin Mele - First PokerStars Passport Winner

The first ever player to win a PokerStars Passport was Dustin Mele, who won the ultimate live event package after taking down the final for players who finished in the top 100 of the Tournament Leader Board for December 2007.

Dustin then spent 2008 living the life of a tournament poker pro, playing at many of the world’s biggest tournaments, including European Poker Tour events in Dortmund, Copenhagen, San Remo, Monte Carlo, Barcelona and London. He also used his passport to enter the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure in the Bahamas, the World Series of Poker* Main Event in Las Vegas, and the Main Event of the PokerStars World Championship of Online Poker.

His PokerStars Passport has now expired, but it was an experience that Dustin will never forget, and one that gave him a once-in-lifetime chance to travel the globe and sit at the poker table alongside the biggest names in the game. See the PokerStars Passport page to find out how you win a passport now.
