Fox Sports has announced a new series of annual tournaments called the "Pokerdome". The first of this series will take place in May 2006, in Melbourne. This will be a six-player SnG, each of whom will pay a fee in 10,000,000$... The winner takes it all!
The $ 60 million is the largest cash prize in the history of sports.
The organizers will be announcing a new entrant for this tournament every month. The first was the already well-known professional player - Phil Ivey... In addition to professional players, the organizers hope that there will be at least 2 players in the tournament who have won their entry through online qualifiers.
The Fox Sports network plans to increase the prize pool over the next two years: first, to $ 80 million, and then to $ 100 million.
