888 Poker has announced God of the Arena, a $1 million guaranteed tournament with a $55.00 buy-in. The site is giving away 100 seats every day to promote it.
888 Poker has announced plans to host a $1 million guaranteed tournament with a $55.00 buy-in on Sunday 14th October. Incredibly, the site is also giving away 100 seats to the tournament every day in order to promote its God of the Arena tournament series and its progressive knockout tournaments.
If, in the past, you have sometimes been confused by 888 Poker´s promotions, you ain´t seen nothing yet. The site´s latest promotion – the “God of the Arena” tournament series – is being promoted as a series of progressive knockout tournaments with a $1 million guaranteed Main Event. However, none of the events in the tournament series have a progressive knockout format, even though that is where you will find them in the 888 Poker lobby.
So, ignoring the non-existent knockout element, what is this promotion all about? Well, from Thursday 11th October to Sunday 14th October, 888 Poker will be running a God of the Arena tournament series. The series consists of twelve events (four each evening) with buy-ins starting from $5.50, and a total guaranteed prize pool of $1,340,000 – most of which is accounted for by the $1 million guaranteed Main Event on Sunday 14th October at 8:00pm (all times GMT).
The WSOP is bringing back the $1 million buy-in Big One for One Drop charity poker event next summer, and we'll see how excited players get for a good cause. After a 13-month wait, the World Series of Poker $1 million buy-in event finally has its cards in the air. At around 2 p.m. Local time on Sunday in Las Vegas, Nevada, 48 poker players began the.
About the God of the Arena Main Event
The God of the Arena Main Event has a direct buy-in of just $55.00 and players are allowed up to five re-entries before the end of the three-hour late registration period. Players start with 10,000 chips and blinds of 25/50 (ante 5), and levels change every fifteen minutes. By the end of the late registration period, players buying-in or re-entering at the last minute will be faced with blinds of 800/1,600 (ante 200) – so the starting stack will be worth about six Big Blinds.
The late start and extended registration period is unlikely to deter many players from taking part in this event – even though it will be 1:00am on Monday morning in Europe before the end of late registration. The $1 million guarantee is expected to attract thousands of players from all over the world, especially as 888 poker is running a satellite program with an entry level of just $0.10 and giving away a hundred seats every day in free-to-enter qualifiers.
How to Win Your Main Event Seat for Free
To support the $1 million tournament, 888 Poker is running a free-to-enter “God of the Arena ME Qualifier” every evening. In order to be eligible for the qualifier, players have complete a “Daily Knockout Challenge” which consists of knocking out two players from an MTT or Sit & Go game. BLAST games and Heads-Up games are excluded from the promotion; but, provided the buy-in for any other game in which you knock out two players is $1.00 or more, you will be awarded a seat for the qualifier.
The qualifier takes place at 10:00pm each evening and is played in Super Turbo format with blinds increasing every three minutes. Players start with 3,000 and blinds of 15/30 (ante 3); and, if you are knocked out during the early levels, there are no opportunities to re-enter or re-buy. This is a freezeout tournament which doesn´t even have a late registration period – giving every player at the start of the qualifier an equal chance to win one of the hundred Main Event seats up for grabs.
Why it is a Good Idea to Qualify Ahead of the Event
It is important to note that the entry cap for the God of the Arena Main Event is just 18,000 players. Although it may be tempting to think the tournament would never attract that number of players, there are around 2,500 seats being given away for free, hundreds more seats available through low buy-in satellites, and who is not going to turn down the chance of winning a share of $1 million for a buy-in of just $55.00? With more than three weeks to go until the God of the Arena Main Event, more than 1,600 players have already registered.
Therefore, we strongly recommend players who want to take part in the God of the Arena Main Event qualify for the tournament well in advance. As this promotion is only available to players who have made a real money deposit with 888 Poker, we also recommend making a deposit if you have not done so already. Finally, if you are not yet playing at 888 Poker, we recommend visiting the site from the link in our [geolink href=”https://www.pokernewsreport.com/888-poker”]888 review[/geolink] in order to be eligible for a 100% match bonus on your first deposit up to $600 (the normal limit is $400).

A poker tournament with the largest ever buy-in of $1 million has been scheduled for July, 2012, to be held in conjunction with the 2012 World Series of Poker (WSOP).
A poker tournament with the largest ever buy-in of $1 million has been scheduled for July, 2012, to be held in conjunction with the 2012 World Series of Poker (WSOP).
Caesars Interactive Entertainment has announced that the event will benefit the ONE DROP organization, which aims to fight poverty throughout the world by raising awareness to the need to support access to clean, safe water for everybody, but especially in impoverished countries. Twenty-two players have already signed on to play in the event, known as the BIG ONE for ONE DROP, which will will run from July 1-3, 2012, in Las Vegas at the Rio All-Suite Hotel and Casino.
The $1 million no-limit hold’em tourney is the brainchild of Cirque du Soleil founder and ONE DROP chairman Guy Laliberté, who has pledged responsibility of $100 million in donations to ONE DROP over a 25-year span. Since founding the organization in 2007 in Montreal, Canada, $41 million has been raised in contributions and pledges. Of the tourney’s $1 million buy-in, $111,111, or 11.1%, will go to the cause.
“We are proud to align the planet’s premiere poker event with the foundation created by one of our generation’s most creative entrepreneurs, Guy Laliberté, to help make the world a healthier place,” said Gary Loveman, president, chairman and CEO of Caesars Entertainment.
Some of the players who have already committed to the event include Johnny Chan, Daniel Negreanu, Bertrand “ElkY” Grospellier, Jonathon Duhamel, Tom Dwan, Gus Hansen and Patrik Antonius. Other players are expected to sign on in the near future with a cap of 48 registrants scheduled.
“I am absolutely thrilled to participate in the biggest poker event ever organized,” said Jonathon Duhamel, the 2010 WSOP Main Event champion. “One million dollars is a lot of money but my participation comes naturally, being a spokesperson for ONE DROP and because of my attachment to such a great cause. Life starts with water and because of its uneven distribution, a person dies every 20 seconds. As for me, I personally commit to give five percent of my winnings from this tournament to ONE DROP.”

Players will start the event with a stack of three million in chips, which follows the WSOP standard of three times the buy-in. Each level played will total 60 minutes. The poker tournament is structured to pay 20 percent of the total players in the field, an amount double the usual poker tourney payout structure. Should the BIG ONE for ONE DROP reach the maximum of 48 players entered, more than $40 million would be in the prize pool to be payed out to the top nine or 10 finishers. The winner will receive a special platinum WSOP bracelet.
“A million dollar buy-in seems crazy, and well, it is, but when you factor in a great cause like ONE DROP getting a percentage of the prize pool, all of a sudden it seems like a fantastic idea, and a great way to raise money for charity,” said Canadian pro Daniel Negreanu. “Count me in.”

For any players interested in participating, a deposit of $50,000 is needed to secure a seat in the event, with the remainder of the buy-in fee due two weeks prior to the starting date of July 1, 2012. Anyone is invited to play in the poker tournament, as long as you can come up with the $1 million buy-in and are 21 years of age.
“Since its creation, ONE DROP has reached out to millions of people to support access to water and raise each and every one’s awareness of water-related issues,” said Laliberté, who will also be playing in the event. “Every gesture is important. The poker community is very generous and it is not only about the one million dollar buy-in event, there are other ways that poker players can make a difference. We are looking forward to the BIG ONE for ONE DROP as a creative and innovative solution to fund ONE DROP projects that help fight poverty by supporting access to water worldwide.“
