PartyPoker.com hosts Aussies vs. Brits challenge

By Sarah Polson

As England and Australia begin battle in Sydney on Tuesday during the Fifth Test of the Ashes cricket tournament series, PartyPoker.com is inviting Australians and Brits to come battle online for their countries.

The site is hosting a $500 freeroll on each day of the remaining test match just for Aussies and Brits. Each freeroll will start at 5 p.m. (EST) on match day.

The freerolls will take place on each scheduled day of the test series even if play ends before the fifth day of the match. Registration for each begins 24 hours before the scheduled start time.

Tournaments are scheduled for today through Friday.

The poker tournament freerolls may be the only chance for England to prove something against the Australians who are on the verge of shutting out England in the Ashes series. The first four tests of the series were all won by Australia.
