Golden Nugget Grand Series 2011

[SharBear613]

The popular series is back. The Golden Nugget once again presents the Third Annual Grand Poker Series. This is a popular series and a nice alternative for those that can not afford the big WSOP buy-ins.

The series offers a wide range of games, including NLH, Omaha, Stud, HORSE, as well as special tournaments for seniors and ladies and two signature bracelet events - the Poker Queen Ladies Championship and The Grand Finale No Limit Championship.

The series is not only attractive to the average player, it also has pulled in several poker pros in the past, like Phil Ivey, Howard Lederer, Eric Seidel, Guss Hansen, Annie Duke, and many more. You could find yourself playing with one of the pros for as little as $125!

The Grand Poker Series has hosted more than 25,000 players from across the globe and as handed out an excess of $2.3 million in total prize money. In addition, more than $641,000 has been raised for charity through special celebrity charity tournaments, including Suzie and Howard Lederer Celebrity Charity Poker Tournament benefiting The Boys and Girls Club.

The first game will be held on June 4th, 2011 and will conclude with the Suzie and Howard Lederer Charity Event on July 4th. The Grand Series Grand Finale two day event will be held on July 2nd. The Grand Finale is a $1080 buy-in, but players can qualify through satellites as low as $125.

If you don't have the budget to buy into one of the WSOP events, this is an excellent alternative.
