ABSOLUTE-LY NEW TOURNEY INCENTIVES
A seat in 10 poker tournaments with a collective prize pool of over $100 million; a buy-in to the biggest televised Texas Hold'em cash game and personal training with a top global ace....could this be a dream?
Absolute Poker, fresh from its intriguing tete-a-tete with the Canadian Mounties last year (see previous InfoPowa reports) has revealed the details of a major 2007 promotional push, titled "The Absolute Dream Package."
The rewards achievable are significant: a seat in 10 poker tournaments with a collective prize pool of over $100 million; a buy-in to the biggest televised Texas Hold'em cash game and one-on-one training with Poker Player of the Year, Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi.
The total cash value of this major online poker prize is in the region of $125 000, including buy-ins to the World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event, five other $10 000 World Poker Tour (WPT) events, the world's richest televised cash game ($26 000) and entry to a $10 000 Ultimate Poker Challenge tournament and Absolute Poker's $100 000 Weekly challenge for a year ($11 232). The winner will also receive an $18 000 check for other expenses, enough to get him or her to the tables on time!
Free roll qualifiers at Absolute have already started with the top three finishers in each tournament winning a spot in the March 4 final event. There are also real money qualifiers or Absolute Reward Point (AR Point) qualifiers. For every nine players in each, one spot in the final will be awarded.
Finally, there's the buy-in route into the final event for $200+16. Every player at Absolute Poker receives one free entry in any one of the daily qualifiers, and to participate in additional qualifiers, players must accumulate 50 points.
