Two new promotions for PokerRoom

By Arthur Crowson

Double your pleasure, double your fun could be PokerRoom's slogan as the site is running two value-packed promotions over the next two months.

In the first one PokerRoom.com is offering players a chance to be part of the team in an exclusive $100,000 freeroll. The overall winner will receive a Team PokerRoom.com sponsorship deal and a $26,000 package, which includes the $20,000 buy-in to a massive event in London during October.

Second place won't walk away empty-handed, either, with a prize of over $6,000 available. There will also be various ticket packages to The Grand, London Qualifiers and ChampionChip qualifiers.

Qualifiers run three times a day, and the top-placed players will receive entry into the $100,000 freeroll which takes place over five starting flights including Day 1a, Day 1b, Day 1c, Day 1d and Day 1e. The top 20% of all flights will move on to the final day, which will play out until there is a winner.

The second big promotion at PokerRoom.com is what it's calling the ChampionChip. The ChampionChip is a No-Limit Hold'em tournament with a $500,000 guarantee.

Last week sicilian17 took down an impressive $115,290 for coming in first in that week's edition of the ChampionChip, and this September the prize pool could be even more lucrative. Qualifiers for the ChampionChip are currently running, with the final scheduled to take place on Sept. 7.

PokerRoom.com is one of the most highly rated online poker rooms on the Internet, and one of the few to offer games in a browser. If you want to learn more about PokerRoom.com, check out PokerListings' exclusive room review.
