PKR Live set to debut in November

The people behind PKR.com will be making their first foray into live poker with the upcoming PKR Live taking place Nov. 14-16, and the event is already almost sold out.

PKR Live will take place at London's Loose Cannon club and will offer PKR.com players the chance to go from the site's celebrated 3-D online game to real-life play, with three separate events in which nearly $100,000 in guaranteed prizes will be up for grabs.

The first event will be a $60 No-Limit Hold'em on Nov. 14 to provide a warm-up for players. The action heats up quickly the next day with the PKR Live $75,000 main event. The event will run Nov. 15-16 and have a $500 buy-in with a $20,000 guaranteed minimum first-place prize.

Finally, the last event of the festival will take place on Nov. 16 with a $10,000 Bounty Freeroll. Entry is by invite only, and eliminating a PKR staff member will net players a cash bounty.

PKR.com will also be providing a selection of side games including regular online-styled Sit-and-gos and heads-up matches.

Fortunately there is a wealth of qualifying options to get into PKR Live, including satellites that start at just $2.58. For those wishing to up their chances there will also be $109 satellites with one seat being awarded per 10 entrants.

PKR.com is one of the fastest-growing poker sites on the Internet and one of the only ones to feature real-time 3-D graphics. To learn more about PKR, check out PokerListings' exclusive review or go directly to PKR.
