Win a Nokia N96 at the first All-About-Poker-Tournament

Thursday, July 30th, 2009 | Tournaments | 6 Comments

On 26th of August in the year 2008, we started our little poker blog with a Poker Tracker 3 Review, which means that we will celebrate our first birthday in about four weeks. Reasons enough for us to organize a little online poker tournament. So we proudly present:

The first All-About-Poker-Tournament
30th of August on PokerStars

In addition to the normal prize pool, Nokia is sponsoring a Nokia N96 and a copy of Million Dollar Poker for the winner. All in all a prize pool of over 500$. Big thanks to Nokia!!

Who can participate?

Everyone who has the PokerStars Software installed. If not already done, you can download it here.

How much is the buy-in?

Actually we wanted to arrange a freeroll, but private tournaments on PokerStars have a minimum buy-in of $5 (+$0,50). If you write about the tournament in your blog or website, we will pay the buy-in for you as well as for the first 10 commentators of this post. So, be quick!

What can I win?

Besides the normal prize pool (depending on the number of participants), the winner gets a Nokia N96 and a copy of the mobile game Million Dollar Poker.
