/24-7PressRelease/ -- The tournament - believed to be the first of its kind - gives entrants two chances to win a guaranteed prize pot of 100,000.
Running each night from 8pm, between 20th and 27th October, the week will see special guest bounty players taking part in the daily qualification rounds - including pros, journalists and casino managers from the Mint, Circus and Maxims brands.
The player who wins the daily bounty
tournament will receive a prize package worth 800 ( 550 tournament direct buy-in + 250 spending money) while the player to knock out the bounty player each night will win a 550 tournament buy in. There will be at least one bounty player involved each night and it is expected that a minimum of two seats will be awarded per day. Buy-in for the qualification games costs 25 + 2.50.
Peter Nolan, Managing Director Online, said: "The final of the 100,000 'Second Chance'
Poker Classic is shaping up to be highly competitive, especially with three pro players, Dave Colclough, Marc Goodwin and Paul "Action Jack" Jackson already buying in. The bounty week is the last chance to qualify online, so it's important to act now to claim your place."
