For those who think that the truly massive stakes can only be won at WPT or WSOP, think again. Ongame Network has just announced that they are to host the world’s largest online poker tournament, with a guaranteed prize pot of $5 million and a winner’s purse of $1 million.
The game will start off at Ongame network, with the top 45 players then being flown to Barcelona to finish off the tourney face-to-face. They will continue with the same chip stacks that they finished with when playing online. The final will take place over September 30 and October 1, although qualifiers start on March 27. Players can buy-in to these tourneys on Ongame Network for as little as $1and those who go to Barcelona will get the equivalent of a $5,000 package with their buy-ins and hotel costs covered, plus spending money. Got to be worth a buck.
