The top three winners from each of the nightly tournaments will be eligible to participate in the Exclusive Laptop Freeroll Tournament on August 31st.

PRWEB – With its largest ever online guaranteed prize tournament now less than two weeks away, Titan Poker, the leading online poker room on the iPoker Network, has brought fresh tidings to more million-dollar hopefuls with the announcement of its special $2,500,000 Satellite tournament, scheduled for this Sunday, August 31, 2008.

The ‘$2,500,000 Stage 1R/A 50 Seat’ satellite tournament has set the online poker world ablaze with its unprecedented offering of 50 guaranteed seats to the $2,500,000 Guaranteed Prize tournament on September 7, 2008. With a total prize offering of $79,000, the 50 Satellite winners will join the existing pool of contenders already preparing for the final showdown on September 7, 2008.

With such generous odds, it looks to be anyone’s game this Sunday. Players of all levels are encouraged to register before the Satellite takes place at 20:35 (GMT+1) on Sunday, August 31, 2008. “This is an exciting eleventh hour opportunity for players who have not yet secured their seats to the online tournament of a lifetime. Low stakes and the chance to win big – it’s a dream for most players,” enthused a Titan Poker representative.

Daily qualifiers to this satellite tournament commenced on August 25 and will run until August 31, 2008. For as little as $2.2 + $0.2, players can buy into Stage 3 ’1 hand’ Sit’n'Go tournaments, or Stage 2 Satellites for $20 + $2. Direct buy-in to the Sunday tournament is $160 + $12, significantly less than the cost to buy-in directly to the September 7, 2008 tournament ($1,500 + $80).

The countdown to the $2,500,000 Guaranteed Prize tournament has begun and nerves will be stretched to the limit in anticipation. In just days, talented seat winners will finally discover if they have the million-dollar combination of skill and luck to make it to number one and earn their place in the record books. And this Sunday could make all the difference.

PRWEB – bet365 are delighted to announce that Jesper Hougaard, the Danish professional poker player and 2008 WSOP bracelet winner, has joined Poker at bet365 as their new brand ambassador.

As part of his association with one of the world’s leading poker rooms, 24-year-old Jesper will participate in fortnightly bounty tournaments and other activities hosted by Poker at bet365 where a number of great prizes will be up for grabs. Hougaard will also be representing bet365 and battling it out with some of the greatest players on the poker circuit in several land based events, including the EPT circuit.

Hougaard will be launching his own personal blog in conjunction with bet365 where he will share his poker experiences. The site will list his personal poker diary, strategy tips and much more, making it the perfect reference for poker players of all levels and abilities.

Hougaard, who was born in Copenhagen, also spent time in London as a child. A devoted table tennis player and former coach of the Danish National Table Tennis Team, Hougaard was inspired to play poker by his fellow Dane and renowned poker pro Gus Hansen.

Poker’s popularity exploded in Denmark a few years ago, carrying Hougaard amongst its newest converts. Jesper started playing friendly cash games at school, winning $20-$40 a night. From there he moved on to playing online poker where he now rules the tables.

The 2008 World Series of Poker proved to be the turning point in his poker career. He cashed in two WSOP events before winning his first bracelet in the $1,500 No-Limit Hold’em walking away, with a prize pool of over $610,000.00 and a coveted WSOP bracelet.
