POKER ROOM GUARANTEES BOOSTED

Online poker behemoth introduces new Grand Tournament guarantees

Poker Room.com has announced that it is to boost its Grand Tournament guaranteed prize pools starting in late December to $500 000, providing some stiff competition for the Mansion group, which introduced a similar level of guarantees recently (see previous InfoPowa report)

The Poker Room.com Grand Tournaments XX, XXI and XXII are scheduled to take place online on 28-30 December, 25-27 January and February 25-27 respectively and will all be enhanced by the new guarantees, which are expected to lift entries significantly.

Players can either buy-in at $1 000+$40 or qualify via online satellites held daily with entry fees as low at a dollar.

Grand Tournaments are played to the No-Limit Hold'em freezeout format with starting stacks of $10 000 and blind increases every 30 minutes. Due to their considerable popularity, the tournaments are flight events held over several days.
