Online Poker Room Holds $50k Event This Month

Running July 12-14 at online poker room Pacific Poker will be an event that promises to give a few online poker players a taste of what they may be missing at the World Series of Poker going on in Las Vegas this summer. Online tournaments are no new thing, and in fact are run hundreds of times a day by various online poker sites, but events like this with guaranteed prize pools of $50,000 and more offer real opportunity to make some significant cash. While the buy in to such events can be expensive compared to others, players who don't want to shell out so much cash can play in free qualifiers and work their way into the event.
