Online Casino Launches Poker Tourney

The popular 888 brand has announced a new poker tournament – the World Poker Crown is a multi-million dollar online poker tourney that will compete with the already popular tourneys at sites like Full Tilt and Titan Poker. Both Full Tilt and Titan Poker have slowly grown their major tournament prize pools, but the 888 online casinos poker site is going straight for the high stakes players with a $3 million guaranteed prize pool. 888.com is a growing brand name in the online casino poker industry and this latest tournament starts this very week – and is expected to draw players from all over the world.

The World Poker Crown online casino poker tournament takes place from February 20th through May 10th and is hosted through an 888.com subsidiary, Pacific Poker. The event is part online casino poker tourney, and then part land-based competition. The final event and top eight players will compete for the $1 million top winner prize in a televised poker tournament main event. But other than the main event, players can buy-in to all of the other events through the Pacific Poker site.

One of the great things about the online casino poker industry is that it truly encourages a wide range of players – from the amateur to the professional – and all from different regions, to compete. The Marketing Director at 888.com, Matt Robinson, remarked on the tourney, "The WPC is a very exciting new poker tournament and the biggest we have ever offered players." This is even perhaps one of the largest online poker tournaments to date in the internet poker industry.
