Hundred Grand Poker Prize Up For Grabs
Much has been made about recent poker tournament announcements, notably two claiming to be the largest prize pools ever awarded, one at $60 million and the other at $80 million. While these are certainly mind-blowing prizes for a poker tournament or any kind of competition, the barrier to entry is set fairly high, with players putting up $10 million and more of their own cash to play.

This weekend Absolute Poker a tournament will take place with a guaranteed prize pool of $100,000, the largest offered at this site so far…
