VC Poker Satellites To South Africa Poker Open

Members of VC Poker find themselves privileged to a host of satellite tournaments from now through January '08, awarding a prize package with entry to the South Africa Poker Open. Online poker players can join in satellites for as little as $2.70, or skip straight to the super satellite competitions for a buy-in of $215.

The $8,000 prize package being awarded by Victor Chandler includes the buy-in for all 3 main events at the South Africa Poker Open, scheduled for kick off February 5th, 2008 in the gorgeous, resort city of Johannesburg, South Africa. In addition to the promise of an amazing poker event, winners of the prize package will be awarded a 7 night stay at the Monte Carlo Resort Hotel, along with $2,000 in cash to spend as they wish during their stay.

VC Poker has not stated just how many players will be awarded the South Africa Poker Open prize package. What they have revealed is that for every $8,000 that goes into the tournament prize pool, another prize package will be awarded to one of the online poker room's lucky members.

Three main events will make up the South Africa Poker Tournament, including Africa's first Texas Hold'em poker tournament in event 1 - an R3,500 (Rand) NL Texas Hold'em tournament scheduled for February 5th. The second event will begin the next day, February 6th, with an R3,500 Omaha High tournament. On February 8th, the third and final event will begin - R25,000 NL Hold'em.

The online poker room, VC Poker, will continue holding Satellite competitions each Sunday from now up until January 28th, 2008.
