The 2011 888PL Online Champs is here!

[Glyn Parsons]

It's that time of the year again players, the 888PL Online Champs is here! We are pleased to announce that the first weekend of April (2/3rd) 888 will play host to the Championship weekend where you can battle it out in any of our 6 bracelet events. All the events have a guaranteed prize pool, in addition each winner receives the coveted 888PL Online Championship Bracelet.

Ranging from $5 to $50 there's a tournament to suit any bankroll, and with a wide range of formats including PLO and Heads Up we have all players catered for. We will also be running satellites nightly from now to gain entry into the Main Event.

As well as the bracelet events we will be running a State of Origin event which will pit State against State to decide who breeds the ultimate player! Get in quick though, as this event will be restricted to the first 50 registered players per state.

Please find an outline of the championship events attached detailing entry fee, start stack and blind levels.

If you have any questions regarding the weekend please email info@888pl.com.au.
Good luck!
