PKR Live III
The third PKR offline poker festival, which is referred to as PKR Live III, will take place from Saturday 20 to Sunday 22 November 2009 at the Loose Cannon Club in London. The highlight of the three day poker festival is the two-day Main Event that starts on Saturday. The winner will walk away with around $40,000, and he or she will also earn an enviable reputation as the Main Event winner for 2009 – something that could well inspire the owner to pursue an even more serious poker career in the future.
In addition to the Main Event, PKR Live III also features a Bounty event where the winner is expected to take home a first prize of more than $5,000. Players at the PKR online poker room can win seats in the Main Event and also in the Bounty event by doing well in online qualifiers and satellite games. Satellites cost from just $5, so if you have the urge to make a name for yourself at a respected offline poker tournament, PKR Live III could well be the event to aim for.
If you haven’t played at PKR before then doing so might be a surprising experience. Unlike most other online poker sites, PKR games are played in a true 3D virtual poker environment where you are represented by a completely animated character known as an avatar. You can adjust the appearance and mannerisms of your avatar and control what it does (and the emotions it expresses) throughout the game. This adds a lot of depth to the online poker game and really is the next best thing to offline play as far as interaction with other players is concerned.
New players at PKR can enjoy a generous 100% bonus worth up to $800, and this could prove to be very helpful as you play for a seat in the PKR Live III Main Event or Bounty event. If you want to buy-in to either event directly then you will be able to do so in due course – the Main Event will cost $1,000 and the Bounty will cost $200.
Whether you want to buy-in directly or try to win yourself a seat by taking the satellite route, visit PKR online poker room today to find out more and good luck!
