Sateliites are going on now over at PKR, the 3-D poker site, for the third incarnation of its sole live tournament each year, with PKR Live III.
PKR Live III will take place on November 20, 2009 at the Loos Cannon Club in London, England. It will be a 3-day event culminating not, as you may think, in the main event, but in a PKR Bounty event, in which a $200 buy-in gets you the opportunity to shoot not only for the grand prize but for PKR celebrity pro players as well, with cash bounties on each of their heads for whoever knocks each one out of the tournament – cash bonuses independent of who wins the overall tournament.
The main event, on day 2 of PKR Live III, has a $1,500 buy-in and a $40,000 first prize (double the one won by last year’s main event winner Philip Conneller).
This is PKR’s 3rd year in business since launching in 2006 as the only 3D online poker room, and each year the site has increased its player base by 1 million, making it currently an over 3 million member player pool.
PKR Live III satellite prize packages include the $1,500 main event buy-in, accommodations, and a bit of spending cash.
