PKR High Stakes Championship
April 27, 2009
Following the success of the PKR Small Stakes Championship, PKR has announced a tournament series for the big boys of poker. The PKR High Stakes Championship will feature 5 events, plus a tournament of champions and is guaranteeing over $100K for the entire series.
The buy-ins for the 5 events vary between a $50 rebuy event and the $500 main event. All of the action gets kicked off on May 1st with a $200 buy-in; $30K guaranteed no limit hold’em tournament. The tournament series caps off on May 9th with the $500 buy-in; $30K guaranteed main event.
PKR is making the High Stakes Championship great value for everybody involved with $17,500 being added to the tournament series. First of all, PKR is adding $5000 to the $50 rebuy event that is taking place on Thursday May 7th, making this tournament a must play for all PKR players who can afford the buy-in.
On top of this PKR is also awarding a $12,500 WSOP prize package in their winner-takes-all tournament of champions. The top two finishers in each of the PKR High Stakes Championship events earn a seat in the tournament of champions and a chance to battle it out for this amazing first place prize. The big champion’s tournament takes place on Sunday May 17th, more than one week after the last High Stakes Championship event.
The PKR High Stakes Championship is meant for the players with a slightly larger bankroll than those of the PKR Small Stakes Championship, but this doesn’t mean the small stakes players can’t take a stab at entering any of these tournaments. PKR is running satellites to High Stakes Championship events from as little as $2.10 so players of all levels can have a shot at winning a High Stakes Championship tournament and subsequently the WSOP prize package.
Most of the smaller buy-in satellites are “lottery satellites” which means everyone goes all-in each hand until the seats have been won. Of course, there are other satellites where it takes a bit more skill to win your tournament seat.
