Extreme makeover: Pacific Poker gets new face

By Christopher Hunt

Pacific Poker, it seems, was due for a makeover. So they went in the tank and came out with a whole new face - and are so happy with the results they'll send you around the world to celebrate. The only thing missing: Ty Pennington and a weepy showcase with the design team.

Some of the features to crow about: new 3D player avatars, a new-look interactive lobby with personalized navigation features, new add-ons and re-buys, new passwords, personalized table design and more.

All told: It makes Pacific Poker more user-friendly, interactive and innovative than ever before.

So now they celebrate, with the chance for their players to win huge prizes over the next five weekends.

Chance #1: 10 Pick Your Poker Face Freerolls.

Held the weekend of May 19-20, 10 freerolls ran for players who deposited at least $50 and earned 20 or more comp points from May 11-17, with winners scoring an exclusive new 3D avatar of their own design.

Chance #2: Shop 'til you Drop Freeroll.

Action goes Sunday, May 27 for players that deposit at least $50 and earn 50 or more comp points from May 18-24, with the winner scoring a $2,000 shopping spree at a store of their choice.

Chance #3: A Rock Around the Word Freeroll.

Celebrating their new personalized time zone feature, five freerolls will run on Saturday, June 9, at various times, to accommodate players from around the world who deposit at least $150 and earn 100 or more comp points from June 1-7.Top 10 in each tournament get free entry to the Rock Around the World Final on Sunday, June 10, with the winner taking a round-the-world ticket for two valued at $10,000.

Chance #4: A WSOP Re-buy Restricted tournament.

Action goes Sunday, June 17 for players who deposit at least $150 and earn 150 or more comp points between June 8 and 14 (or who buy-in for $10+$1). Winner takes a Main Event package worth $12,500 in total.

And there's more, not to mention Pacific Poker's usual last-Friday-of-the month WSOP qualifier, which is set to go tomorrow.
