MILLION DOLLAR TOURNEY FOR NOBLE POKER

Quest for the world's best Sit & Go player

Breaking simultaneously with the news of its pending takeover by Empire Online, Noble Poker this week unveiled a new million dollar global poker tournament that commenced on August 1.

The rapid-fire Sit & Go style games are normally played in less than an hour, creating pace and excitement, and have been chosen for the tourney.

Players will compete against each other, with the first competitor to win seven consecutive $10 buy-ins taking home the $1 million top prize. It's likely to attract thousands of players, making for a challenging environment with lots of pressure.

For the runners-up there is still a possibility to win big - there are to be $75 000 and $25 000 play-offs for those who manage to win five and six consecutive Play & Go's. Furhter prizes in the $300 range are available further down the log.

The quick nature of Sit & Go tournaments has made these events increasingly popular with players, and Noble appears to be exploiting this trend to the full. The site is also currently running a Maui tournament on these lines with $15 000 and $25 000 jackpots.
