Friday 14th March 2008
Online casino TitanPoker.com has announced that it is to sponsor the first of many land-based tournaments beginning in May at the Casino Gran Madrid.
The Playtech-powered site has already started qualifying satellites for the Eurocity Poker Tour (ECPT) Madrid Open, which will have a limited entry field of 200 players and take place from May 9 to 12.
TitanPoker.com stated that it would award qualifying players with a generous package valued at around $3,000, which includes round-trip airline tickets, accommodation for three nights and dinners for the player and a guest alongside the event’s $1,557 buy-in.
'At the rate of our expansion and considering the number of players we are sending to tournaments every month, it only makes sense that TitanPoker.com should take it to the next level,' read a statement from the site.
'We are already making a huge presence at these tournaments. Now that TitanPoker.com is the sponsor, it will just be more visible.'
