PKR Poker Offers WSOP Fantasy Action

Sunday June 01, 2008

PKR Poker is offering players and poker fans a chance to put their money on their favorite players with a World Series of Poker fantasy league on the poker site.

Entry into the competition is free, and cash prizes will be given out to the 10 participants with the most points at the end of the series.

Participants will have to build a team of 10 poker professionals from a list of 300 provided by PKR Poker. Each player will have $10,000 to spend on the professionals they want, with professionals costing anywhere from $200 to $2,000 each.

Players selected for fantasy teams will be tracked on how well they do during 32 events of the World Series of Poker. Points are awarded for a top 20 finish with trip points scored in the Main Event.

At the end of the league, the top 10 finishers will get a piece of a $2,450 prize pool.

To add another level to the competition, PKR Poker has formed its own team, with Phil Hellmuth, Allen Cunningham, Barry Greenstein and more on the roster.

Any team that finishes the competition with more points than Team PKR Poker will earn entry into an exclusive $1,000 Fantasy Freeroll.

PKR Poker will update the leaderboard for the fantasy league after each event of the WSOP with the final results publishing after the completion of the Main Event.
