Online Poker Site Hosts Pro-Am Challenge

Following up on its very popular Fox Sports Network show Poker Dome, Mansionpoker.net is introducing its four hour World Pro-Am Challenge. In this event three amateur players, coming off of online qualifiers, will be facing three of the toughest tournament pro poker players around. Todd Brunson, son of the legendary Doyle Brunson; WPT champ John Gale; and WPT player of the year, Gavin Smith. The show will air on July 12. Each pro will start out with 20,000 less in chips than the amateurs to level the field. Looking at it another way, however, it is pro versus pro as each amateur player will have a personal poker coach: Kenna James, Michael Gracz, and Tony G, the current European Poker Champion.
