HollywoodPoker.com Raises The Grand Tournament Prize Pool to $750,000

Irvine, CA, February 04, 2008 --(PR.com)-- HollywoodPoker.com, online poker home of celebrities, has raised its big-stack game The Grand Tournament guarantee by a whopping fifty percent to $750,000 this month onwards.

The decision to step it up a notch stems from the favorable response that HollywoodPoker.com receives on the ever increasing popularity of The Grand Tournament. December’s The Grand XX Tournament drew an astonishing 846 entrants, meaning $846,000 in prize money were up for grabs with the main winner taking home around $200,000.

HollywoodPoker.com's most prestigious tournament in its ever-growing line up, The Grand is held on the last weekend of each month beginning on a Friday. This month’s tournament will be played out with its normal 3-day flight structure between February 22nd and 24th. All starting times are at 14:00 EST or 19:00 GMT.

The Grand Tournament is a no-limit hold'em freezeout ``flight’’ event with a 10,000 chip starting stack and 30 minute blind increase structure. Players have the option of two starting days and those who survive from both heats automatically earn a ticket to the Final with their ``flight’’ chip stacks carried over.

To qualify for the Grand Tournament, players can also advance through the many daily qualifier tournaments for as little as a $1+0.20 buy-in.
