Bounty on PokerListings.com player in St. Maarten

By PokerListings.com

The World Poker Showdown (WPS) is underway in St. Maarten, and PokerListings.com will be following this series of poker tournaments which boast buy-ins suitable for recreational players.

Though it's a small poker tournament, the people behind the WPS have managed to create some really good events. They have shown that professional poker tournaments can be arranged without huge buy-ins and enormous prize pools. Instead, the WPS takes poker back to its roots and reminds us all what it is supposed to be: a fun game.

Martin Ostman from PokerListings.com is playing his first event today, a $500 No-Limit Hold'em tournament. To add some extra value to this event, PokerListings.com and the WPS have put a bounty on Ostman, and any player who is able to knock him out will earn $200.

Read more about this tournament and the upcoming WPS $2,500 No-Limit Hold'em event at PokerListings.com. For more information about the WPS, please read World Poker Showdown - A friendly poker tournament by Martin Ostman.
