Bigger Ongame Poker Classic Now Rescheduled
15 August 06
Several new online poker rooms have joined the huge Ongame
poker network, and as a result it has been decided to both
expand and reschedule the upcoming Ongame Network Poker
Classic, Ongame announced this week.
With a guaranteed prize pool of $5 million, of which a million
will go to the overall winner, this is a seriously attractive
tournament and the addition of a $50 000 freeroll for early
bird qualifiers makes for more interest.
The Ongame Network Poker Classic is a "flight"
tournament that will begin online across all Ongame sites
on November 4, playing down to 45 players. One month later,
those 45 players will be flown to one of Europe's premier
casinos, the Casino de Barcelona, where their electronic
chip stacks will be translated into real-life equivalents,
and the lion's share of the $5 million prize pool will be
awarded, with the winner crowned around December 3rd.
There's a $5 000 + $200 buy-in for this event, although
it will also be possible to qualify through a number of
satellites on Ongame network sites. Satellite winners who
secure their seats before midnight ET on September 2 will
also qualify for the $50,000 bonus freeroll, which starts
at 4:00 p.m. ET on September 3. The single- and multi-tiered
satellite qualifiers have buy-ins for as little as a dollar.
