888 Poker Introduces A Por Ella Bounty Event

Last Updated on

888 Poker has introduced a new event in which players have the chance to take on the Last Woman Standing in the 2009 World Series of Poker Main Event, Leo Margets. Hailing from Spain, the 888 Poker pro finished 27th in a field of 6,000 players to claim a $352,000 payday and now you have the chance to claim a $1,000 on her head every Thursday at 888 Poker’s A Por Ella bounty tournament.

Starting every Thursday at 20:00 GMT, A Por Ella costs only $10 + $1 to enter, with a $1,000 bounty on playername “LEO” on the first Thursday of every month and a $250 bounty on the rest of the Thursdays in any given month. The winner of each A Por Ella event and the winner of the bounty on LEO will both win bonus prizes of a free seat in the following week’s A Por Ella event. In addition, for that event 888 Poker will place a $50 bounty on each of those players’ heads, giving the rest of the players something extra to vie for.

Each A Por Ella event is capped at 500 players. If LEO doesn’t show to an event, her bounty will be split among the players at that event’s final table. If the previous week’s tournament or bounty winner doesn’t show to an event, the bonus bounty on their heads will be dissolved entirely.

You can find the A Por Ella tournament listed under the Multi-Table tab in your 888 Poker lobby.

888 Poker Goes Social

Last Updated on

In this evolving age of social media, 888 Poker is keeping up by going social itself. Social 888 Poker includes new offerings like Team Poker and PokerCam tables and up to $100,000 in prize money.

Teams Poker takes the live poker tournament experience to the social level by allowing players to form teams with whom to share in their winnings. If you win, your team wins – and vice-versa. Buy-ins for Teams Poker tournaments are as little as 88 cents, with which you can win a share of $1,000 or up to $2,500.

888 Poker is adding new Teams Poker tournaments to the schedule all the time, especially as new teams emerge. Teams Poker Tournaments pit all the members of two teams against one another with the winning player getting half the prize pool and their team splitting the other half. Each team must have at least 100 players, but no more than 1,000.

Cash game players can also go social on 888 Poker by playing Face2Face, as they say, at the site’s new PokerCam Tables. These tables are indicated in the 888Poker lobby by an icon that looks like a webcam. At PokerCam tables you can see your opponents live, just like they were in the same room with you. See their tells, know when they’re bluffing, put them on tilt. Just know they can see you too, so you’d better practice your poker face when you sit down at 888 Poker Face2Face.

888 Poker is even on Facebook and Twitter. And they publish their own 888Poker Wall on the site where members can update their status profiles and video testimonials.

888 Poker is Doubling Major Tournament GTD Prizepools

Last Updated on

888 PokerOver the past year 888poker, formerly Pacific Poker, has built new state-of-the art software, launched exclusive PokerCam table technology, released an innovative TV campaign featuring Shane Warne and completely revamped their promotions and offers, including free $8 registration bonus for new customers.

888poker’s continued commitment to the new “we play different” strategy and focus on customer safety and experience is gaining momentum with online poker players and has brought the site a rapid 45% increase in liquidity.

More long term plans also show to be paying off for the poker network. As the USA market continues to show signs of legalization and licensing for online gaming, 888 has made several strategic moves and partnerships to ensure the best position for entry into the major market. The company’s decision to leave the USA online poker market immediately after the passing of the 2006 UIGEA and its continued focus on safe and legal operations, has opened several doors for 888. One very positive move has been the recent approval from the Nevada Gaming Commission to work with USA operator, Caesars Interactive, the online subsidiary of Caesars Entertainment Corporation. As other major sites begin to struggle with the changing landscape in online gaming, 888 remains in a  prime position.

To keep up with the growth, 888poker has doubled  their major guaranteed tournaments including the Sunday Challenge which is now a staggering $100,000 guarantee. Players can take advantage of these huge guarantee tournaments and other promotions such as, new Team Poker Tournaments (win money as part of a team and as an individual) and  Play More Win More (the more you play, the more big $$ guaranteed freeroll tickets you receive).

Players can also try a more social online poker experience when they play the new PokerCam tables.  PokerCam tables use webcam technology to bring you a face to face interaction with other players. You can catch bad bluffs, meet new friends and maybe find a new crush all while playing poker.

For information about 888poker’s software, interactive community, online store, new innovations, such as, PokerCam tables, and constantly updated promotions, go to www.888poker.com.

With over 5 million registered users and winner of Socially Responsible Operator of the Year 2010, EGR Awards, 888 is a gaming company you can trust.

Existing 888 Poker Players can now take advantage of a 100% up to $150 reload bonus by using deposit code APRIL150.
