Montecasino to Run Poker Champs Tournament

February 26 - South African poker fans will be pleased to note that the 2010 Poker Champs Tournament will be held next month at Guateng's favourite entertainment destination, Montecasino.

The Main Event of the competition will be held from March 26th to 28th and carries a R15,000 entry fee.

However, players can win their way into the Main Event by playing at weekly satellites each Tuesday night.

The satellites, which run each Tuesday evening at 19h30, have a buy in of R1,650 and players can register for them on Tuesdays from 17h00 at the Main Cash Desk.

The satellites are 10 seater, single table events.

Montecasino also introduced multi table satellites where players are invited to bring their friends or colleagues and, if they fill up an entire 10 seat table, they will be accommodated every day of the week - not just Tuesday evenings.

The Main Event's tournament format will be a no limit Texas Hold 'em freezeout and will be capped at 150 seats.

The most appealing factor of the 2010 Poker Champs Tournament is that the estimated prize pool will be in excess of R2 million.

Montecasino offers unbeatable table games action and brings players over 70 gaming tables throughout the casino floor.

These include smoking casinos and the Salon Prive and brings players blackjack, poker, American Roulette, craps and baccarat.
