Back for a fifth year, Ladbrokes Poker Million V is continuing today on www.ladbrokespoker.com, Europe's most popular poker site.
Poker tournaments don't come any bigger or better than Poker Million V from Ladbrokes, THE poker tournament of 2006.
This year, to reflect the global appeal of poker, a number of online and offline qualifications tournaments will be held in key territories around the world!
Contestants will play poker for a record $4.120,000 in guaranteed prize money and a whopping $1,000,000 from Ladbrokes in added prize money, this makes it the richest prize pot in European poker tournaments history.
The poker tournament is exclusive to Ladbrokespoker.com, with winners from the daily heats competing in a weekly online Sunday play-off. The Sunday Final will see the first and second placed finishers in the online poker game secure one of 72 coveted seats in the televised stages and a share of a weekly $105,000 guaranteed prize pool.
Ladbrokes has also reserved a number of places for some of the world's top poker professionals as well as running 3 poker freerolls, which is how last year's winner Tony Jones, a former warehouseman from Romford, qualified. All will be vying for the coveted trophy!
Reigning champion and veritable million-dollar man Tony commented, "The Ladbrokes Poker Million tournament was an unmissable roller-coaster ride that irrevocably changed my life for the better. Since my win I've resigned from my job, cruised around the Caribbean and now can't wait to participate in this years tournament!
David Briggs, Managing Director of Ladbrokes Poker commented, "The Poker Million tournament is the tournament that all poker players want to be a part of and ultimately win; it's the jewel in the crown on the European poker circuit!"
