Las Vegas, NV (PRWEB via PR Web
Direct) June 2, 2005 -- The Online Series of Poker (OSOP) has just been
announced, presenting online poker players worldwide the unprecedented
opportunity to win a share of $100,000 in prize money by qualifying through online poker tournaments at participating online poker rooms.
This is the first time in the history of online gaming that a tournament has
been held across multiple online poker rooms.
The online poker rooms, Party Poker, Ultimate
Bet, PokerRoom, Absolute Poker, and Golden Palace Poker, will each host two tournaments, starting
with Party Poker in early June. Anyone eligible to play at the online poker
rooms can participate in as many of the ten tournaments as they wish. Five of
the tournaments will require a $100 buy-in plus a $9 fee, while the other five
will have a $250 buy-in and $20 fee.
The winner of each online poker tournament will be awarded, in addition to the
prize money from the tournament itself, a seat at the OSOP $100,000
Championship, to be held on Oct. 8, 2005, at the Trump Taj Mahal Casino and
Resort in Atlantic City, N.J. The prize package will also include roundtrip
airfare from anywhere in the world, airport transfers, accommodations at the
Trump Taj Mahal hotel, and meal vouchers. The winner of the Championship will
take home $30,000, but even tenth place receives $5,000, so everybody will enjoy
a healthy payday.
Additionally, all players who register at the OSOP Web
site (www.onlineseriesofpoker.com) will be eligible for the OSOP
Leader Board, sponsored by Citadel Commerce, which will track the results of
each qualifying tournament. The top six money leaders across all ten events will
receive cash prizes, ranging from $3,000 to $500.
