Recently it seems that many online poker sites have been coming out with different online poker tournament series’. Each one has their own twist and offers some strong incentives, but one that was recently released was the Lock Online Poker Series, or the LOCKOPS. This tournament series features an incredibly strong list of events (33 in total) with over $2 million in guaranteed prize pools as well. The series will offer tournaments that have a wide range of buy-in’s for all different levels of players, but also will feature some great chances for players to make quite a bit of cash regardless of which tournament they are in!
The tournament series is going to run from May 6th to May 20th, and it will end with the Grand Finale Main Event that is guaranteed to give away at least $800k in prize money. To make these tournaments even more interesting is the fact that a Lock PRO Elite player will host each of the tournaments, and all of these pros will have bounties on their heads as well, meaning that you can take home a nice payout if you are the person who can send the pro home! As we all know, Lock Poker has one of the strongest professional poker lineups out there today, so this is just another chance to potentially play with some of the biggest pros in the game.
There will also be a “Champion of Champions Tournament” which will be offered for any player who takes down one of the 33 different events. This tournament will give away two seats to the World Series of Poker Main Event, meaning that you have a great chance to take down one of the seats if you can win one of the 33 events. Lock Poker is going to run a leaderboard that will be constantly updated as well, and the players who finish in the top 100 at the end of the tournament series will automatically be entered into another special tournament after the Main Event comes to an end.
UPDATE: The Merge Poker Network has cancelled the LOCKOPS Series
