PKR Offers Up 2nd Annual ‘Oktoberfest’ Online Tournament
September 25, 2008
The ultra festive PKR ‘Oktoberfest’ online poker celebration will be soon be played for the second consecutive year. The innovative 3D poker room will offer up autumn fun beginning October 17th. An amazing $260K Guaranteed cash prize pool (almost twice as much as last year’s inaugural event) will be on the line for participating online players. Twelve events will be played over twelve days with each day offering up a new tournament of play. There will be a variety of tournaments offered with someone for everyone to join in on.
Players will find everything from your basic tournament play, speed tournaments, 6 max, bounties, deep stacks and much more. PKR has yet to release the buy-in amounts for the tournaments, but those announcements should come shortly. The twelve days will culminate into the ‘PKR Masters’ and ‘Tournament of Champions’ of the top overall players in the tournament. The final ‘Oktoberfest’ tables will be televised to viewers in Europe and on YouTube.com where the overall top players will receive an invitation for a $5K free entry tournament buy-in. In addition, PKR.com operates an Internet video channel with PKR.tv where poker fans can catch all the hot action at as well.
Neil Wright, PKR’s Cardroom Manager stated, “Last year’s festival was a huge success and this year’s will be bigger and better. We are also looking forward to achieving our biggest prize pool ever in The PKR Masters.”
This Super Satellite Series comes almost right off the heel of their huge win as “Hotshot Operator of the Year” Award at the 2008 eGaming Review Awards. This award is especially meaningful because PKR.com was recognized as showing the “greatest promise” globally in the online gaming industry.
