Online poker room Pacific Poker (www.pacificpoker.com) is giving online poker players the opportunity of a lifetime with a chance to win a seat at the million dollar 888.com (www.888.com) 2005 UK Open.
ibraltar (PRWEB) August 12, 2005 -- Pacific Poker (www.pacificpoker.com)
always sponsors the biggest and the best poker tournaments and the upcoming
888.com UK Open (www.pacificpokerukopen.com) is no exception.
Mike
Herea, Promotions Department Manager for Pacific Poker, can't wait for the
888.com UK Open, which commences on October 11, to start.
"After the
World Series of Poker, the 888.com UK Open promises to be the biggest poker
tournament of 2005. Last year's Open was fantastic and this one promises to be
even better," Herea said. "And just like the World Series of Poker, online poker
players can claim their seat via online qualifying
tournaments."
Qualifying is about to begin but, unfortunately,
registration for the tournament has just closed for anyone who wanted to
enter.
The winners of the qualifying tournaments will receive $12,500.
This money includes $10,000 for the entry fee and $2,500 for travel and
accommodation expenses.
"We have online players from all over the world
so it is only fair that we cover theexpenses of getting them to London," Herea
said.
The 888.com (www.888.com) UK Open, which is Europe's richest televised
poker tournament, represents the chance of a lifetime for any aspiring poker
player.
Only 108 lucky players will qualify for the exclusive event.
They will be divided into 18 tables of six with the 18 table winners each
receiving $10,000 and, more importantly, progressing to the semi-finals. They
will then be divided into three tables of six, with the top two making it
through to the final.
"The tournament is going to be televised so this is
a great opportunity for unknown poker players to make a name for themselves,"
Herea said.
Pacific Poker has already given away $8 million in prize
money in 2005 and has plenty more to hand out.
A lot of that money has
been won by players who didn't know a thing about poker at the beginning of the
year.
"In addition to that, 888.com has launched a number of other poker
initiatives at Pacific Poker online and these can be viewed at http://www.pacificpoker-online.com."
