3. Qualify online in a free-to-enter satellite!

*Players who buy-in direct for $200 will also get a $500 bonus on top of any winnings. The bonus will be paid on 12th May. Bonuses will be released at a rate of $50 for every 250 points earned. Bonuses will have 30 days to be released.

On Sunday Microgaming (poker network) throws a tournament with a €750,000 guaranteed prize pool (buy-in €300+€20). It's the old €500,000 tournament that has gotten its prize pool boosted with €250,000 or 50% extra. That Microgaming with such a short notice add so much money to a single tournament doesn't come as a surprise. Just like many other poker sites/networks, Microgaming are now taking up the fight for the tournament players since Full Tilt Poker and PokerStars were forced to reduce the guarantees in their biggest Sunday tournaments.
