There was a time that the only way to win a life changing amount of money in one go would be to satellite into a major tournament and emerge the victor. Now we are seeing a regular influx of online tournaments with final table payouts that would allow most of us to retire early. This week VC Poker have announced details of another landmark online tournament, with a $2.5 million guarantee and a minimum of $500,000 going to the winner.
On the 7th of September VC Poker will be host to the $1500+$80 buy-in event. Over 100,000 players will be expected to try and qualify for the event, including VC patron and World Snooker Champion Ken Doherty. You can
win your place for as little $3.30 in sub satellites and new customers can qualify for free. Anyone signing up in July will be eligible for the 'free buy-in to the main event' offer.
Any players earning 2500 action points between the 1st and 5th of July will go straight to a special satellite on the 15th of July (Which are always good value because so many players don't even realize they are registered) and the high rakers can go opt for a 50/50 heads up qualifier direct to the main event in exchange for 350,000 action points.
Lee Ferris of VC Poker commented "From our recently concluded European Championship of Online Poker II to our highly popular World Series of Poker satellites to our newly announced $2.5 Million GP event, VC Poker is ensuring that this will be a summer of poker to remember. In giving players around the world a free chance to play for a half-a-million prize, we are offering an exceptional opportunity to win a life changing amount of money for no money down. That's value."
Dont forget that you will be eligible for a special 200% sign up bonus up to $600. Not only that but VC Poker are one of the few poker rooms to have a regular reload bonus up to $250 every month on top of being able to redeem your action points for cash. So if you don't win your seat to the $2.5 million guaranteed you can rake it up instead.
