Another Monthly Million; This Time on iPoker
Posted by: James Carter. - Sat, 2009-08-29 22:50
September will see a new Monthly Million tournament on the block; joining the PartyPoker Monthly Million, the new Monthly Million will be running on the iPoker Network.
The newest Monthly Million will be hitting the internet on September 13th on the iPoker Network and will grace the net every month thereafter beating the current biggest prize-pool Titan Poker has to offer by three quarters of a million dollar. The iPoker Monthly Million will have 30-minute blind levels and starting stacks of 10,000; the direct buy in is $535 but as expected there is a grand array of qualifying opportunities through Titan Poker and other iPoker sites throughout the month beginning from as little as $1. Other poker sites on which the iPoker Monthly Million tournament can be found include Mansion Poker and CDPoker.
Whilst some may argue that the new iPoker Monthly Million is directly competing with the PartyPoker Monthly Million which is well established, some industry experts speculate that the two will actually complement each other. Both clearly have million dollar guaranteed prize-pools and similar direct buy-ins with the PartyPoker event costing just $95 more than the iPoker equivalent for direct buy-in; however the latter will be taking place towards the middle of each month where as the former always takes place at the beginning of the month, thus between the two they will be offering big prize opportunities all month long.
The new event is expected to be a big hit across the iPoker network; time will tell and September 13th at 18:00 is the time!
