JonnyTexas Poker Invitational: Qualifier


Managed to say a big FCUK U to my recent bubble finishes to qualify for the inaugural €3,000 Jonny Texas Poker Invitational TV Tournament. I won a $5k package for a $93 investment in satellites for the $525 online final.


Finally!

"The Main Event"

The format for the main event will be of 7 heats each consisting of 8 players. The winner of each heat will proceed to the final & each heat runner-up going into a play off final to clinch the last remaining final seat.

The starting stack for each round will be 10,000T/C and each level will be based on a 45 minute clock enabling for a good level of play and hopefully omitting any form of crap shoot.

The entry fee for this Invitational Event is €3,000.

The remaining 8 finalists will be paid as follows:

1ST 50,000 EUROS
2ND 32,000 EUROS
