HEADLINE: Mansion Poker Grand Tournament grows
Body:
Last month's Grand Tournament at Mansion Poker was so successful
that the poker site has decided to boost the guaranteed prize
pool from its usual $300,000 to $500,000.
According to Mansion Poker, that now makes their Grand Tournament
one of the largest online short-handed tournaments in the world.
Last month's Grand Tournament attracted a record 627 players
who then battled for a $627,000 prize pool. The top prize was
$156,000.
One of the benefits of the monthly Grand Tournament, besides
the guaranteed prize pool, is its player-friendly format, according
to Mansion Poker. The tournament has two starting days that run
for a maximum of five hours.
In addition the slow blind structure, increasing every 30 minutes,
and the $10,000 starting chip stacks means plenty of playing time
for participants.
Surviving players from both starting days, which take place this
month on Nov. 23 and Nov. 24, will then automatically earn a ticket
to the Grand Tournament Final on Nov. 25 this month. Their chip
stakes will carry over to the final.
The Grand Tournament has a $1,000+$40 buy-in, or Mansion Poker
players can participate in qualifiers throughout the month to
win their way into the tournament. For as little as $1, players
can make their way through sit-and-go qualifiers and others to
get into the Grand Tournament.
Mansion Poker has plenty more to offer for poker aficionados
with weekly $150,000, $110,000 and $50,000 guaranteed prize pool
tournaments plus frequent $20,000, $10,000 and $5,000 tournaments.
