OnGame Poker Network launches $5 million guaranteed tournament
The online poker network OnGame, which was recently acquired by the Austrian company BETandWin and includes PokerRoom among it ranks, announced recently the launch of the OnGame Network Poker Classic, with a record breaking prize pool.

According to OnGame the tournament’s $5 million guaranteed prize pool will be the biggest ever for a tournament which starts online.

Beginning online across the OnGame network at sites such as PokerRoom and Coral, the tournament will pause when the field has been trimmed down to 45 players. Each player will then be issued with a plane ticket to Barcelona for the live finale.

The prestigious Casino de Barcelona will host the Grand Final, when the remaining 45 players will start with the same chip stacks they finished with online.

In addition to the vast prize pool OnGame is guaranteeing for the tournament, it also claims it is being especially generous with the prize packages for the event, as travel and hotel expenses are not being taken out of the prize pool as they often are in other events.

The Grand Final will take place from Sept 30th to Oct 1st this year.
