Now, for only $2.20 FullTiltPoker’s players can take part in the promotion and have a chance to buy-in to a no-limit hold’em tournament with a guaranteed prize pool of $100,000.

The Big Little Tournament series begins on July 18 and will take part every other Sunday until October 24. Its winner will get a cash prize of $10,000. The $2.20 buy-in to the tournament can become even less expensive, if you try to win a seat by playing a satellite for only ten cents or ten player points.

Who Corners the Market in the Balkans?

Saturday, March 20th, 2010

Balkan Bet will soon be offering a gambling site operating on the Microgaming Poker Network and featuring   a range of games from betting to poker and other sectors of the industry.

Balkan Bet is powered by a variety of gaming services including Wagerworks and Orbis and no wonder it is offering different types of gaming experiences.

As the Balkans is a fast developing region with a growth potential and very little competition at the present moment, Balkan Bet has a good chance now to establish itself at the foundation level of the market.

The Full Tilt Poker Series (FTOPS) is believed to generate a $17 million prize pool across the 27 scheduled events varying in some way.

Each season the tourney starts with qualifiers and offers seats for the main event. Most of the events are for high rollers and skilled players. The buy-ins range from $100 up to $2,500. This time the buy-in comes to $500 which is rather decent. In any way, high buy-ins help yield a prize pool a chunk of which both pros and amateurs have a chance to take home.

High-Stakes Action at Party Poker

Wednesday, January 27th, 2010

Party Poker has recently added pot-limit Omaha games, so much requested by its gamblers. Loyal to Party Poker players will have access to $25/$50 pot-limit Omaha games alongside with regular offerings on the site.

This Omaha turns out to be the first time offer of a high-stakes pot-limit game on Party Poker’s site. Demand for action and high stakes, and need of a better test of gambling skills finally lead to this incredible offer.

It needs to be remembered that games at Party Poker are available for non-US gamblers only.

Eric Baldwin is reported to have joined the poker pro team of UB.com, a top internet poker gaming site licensed by the Kahnawake Gaming Commission.

Baldwin, known as “basebaldy” earns money playing poker online. In the past year he is believed to have won approximately $1.5 million. His success and prominence are growing, and that is why UB.com invited him to join their poker pro team.

UB.com’s poker pro team consists of the biggest budding stars, and Eric Baldwin will naturally compliment the already existing base of players and will probably redefine the UB’s predence on the international poker gambling market.
