Last-minute satellite for 888 World Poker Crown
17th April, 2008
Leading online gaming operator 888.com Poker has revealed that it will be running a special last-minute satellite for the World Poker Crown.
The Crown is set to kick off next Saturday (April 26th) and will mark the largest ever Texas Hold'Em tournament held by 888 Poker, with an overall prize pool of some $3 million (£1.5 million).
That includes a cool one million dollar first place prize.
The special $105,000 World Poker Crown Bounty satellite will see 100 seats being given away to the WPC final event. Buy-ins are $100+$10, but you can also try your luck in a sub-satellite from as little as $11+1.
Some 12 poker pros will also be taking part in the satellite and if you knock one of them out you'll automatically bag a seat at the Crown final, irrespective of where you finish on the poker table.
The players with bounties on their heads include Australian ex-cricketer Shane Warne and Brits Andrew Feldman Ray Parlour, Julian Gardner, Dave Colclough and Surinder Sunar.
