Poker News: Costa Rica Challenge Package Up for Grabs at DoylesRoom

Friday, August 1st, 2008

Are you an avid poker player with a valid passport? Here’s the perfect package for poker players up for an adventure. DoylesRoom is giving away a prize package for the Costa Rica Challenge poker tournament so the winner can play poker in a totally different environment. This means, you can go on that much-needed vacation and still grind away at the tables. Well, this makes the thought of playing in Las Vegas suddenly seem pretty boring.

The poker tournament will be held at the luxurious 5-star La Condesa Hotel in Monte de la Cruz. The super satellites have been going on since July 21st and with the Main Event Tournament still pretty far off on September 11 to 13, there is more than enough time for poker players to get into the action.

If you are good or lucky enough to win the satellite, you get a $4,000 prize package which includes the $2,000 + $300 buy-in for the main event. The remaining $1,700 are for your travel and accommodations expenses. You’ll even be decked out on official custom Team Brunson gear so everyone will know which team you are representing.

Poker News: PokerStars Increases Sunday Million Guarantee to $1.5 Million

Friday, August 1st, 2008

Poker room giant PokerStars seem to be determined to put its competitors away. Starting August 3, PokerStars’ extremely popular Sunday Million will now feature a $1.5 million weekly guarantee. To sweeten the deal more, the Sunday Warm-Up (that occurs just a few hours before the Sunday Million) will now have a $750,000 guarantee.

PokerStars is the very first poker site to offer a $1 Milliom Guarantee in a No Limit Hold ‘em tournament every week. For a measly $215 buy-in, poker players can expect a first prize that is more than $100,000. Can you imagine the sheer number of poker players that are drawn to this kind of deal every week?

The Sunday Million poker tournament occurs weekly at 4:30pm EST. The Sunday Warm-Up (which also has a $215 buy-in) starts at 12:45pm EST. PokerStars has also increased its guarantee on the Super Tuesday poker tournament to $300,000 from its former $250,000. The buy-in for the Super Tuesday tournament is $1,050.
