Pokerstars launches new $600 free new user bonus plus $300 reload bonus Read More
Paddy Power Poker offers one of Monday's premier tournaments.
On Monday July 20th, Paddy Power Poker will be hosting what is certainly one of the day's better tournaments. The "$40,000 GP High Roller Monday" promises to have one of the better guaranteed prize pools of the day and to have some of the stronger competition. The entry fee for the tournament is $500 + $30 (that's just 6% rake) but if that is simply too much money there are still satellites running in the $50 range (look in the Sit 'n' Go section and in satellites or go to the $40K GP tourney lobby for satellite info).
The size of the prize pool is really what makes this tournament stand out as many other sites are in the $10K to $30K range on Mondays. Also, the entry fee should exclude a lot of players which will help shorten the duration of this tournament, which starts at 3:45pm ET. On the other hand, the blinds are going to be low and slow at 15/30 (with 15 minute increments) and the starting stack will be large at 5000 chips.
Action will be 10 handed and the format is No Limit Texas Hold'em.
You'll need to register with Paddy Power Poker (it's free) to play in this tournament and they offer a "Match Bonus up to $500" on your first deposit.
