Ongame Poker Classic Ready to Rock

One of online poker's top networks is preparing for one of the most unusual tournaments in online history. Despite initial concern that a number of players might seek a refund for the tournament due to the changes in the online poker world, the Ongame Network has decided to press on with the Ongame Network Poker Classic, which is now set with a solid turnout for the $5,000 buy-in no-limit hold'em tournament.

With 231 players already registered for the $5,000 Nov. 4, tournament, the prize pool currently stands at $1,255,000 and should grow a bit more with three days left for players to register. In an interesting twist for online players, once the tournament reaches 45 remaining players, it will pause for four weeks and then resume in Barcelona, Spain on Dec. 2.

The 45 lucky players will have their flights and hotel paid for by Ongame and will stay at the beautiful Hotel Majestic in downtown Barcelona. Considered one of Spain's more beautiful resorts, this five-star hotel is the perfect spot to relax after playing in the tournament. This mini-vacation is valued at $5,000 and does not come out of the overall prize pool. Ongame is also adding $100,000 to the prize pool as a bonus.
