There are many different kinds of
online poker tournaments and one of
the most exciting ones is a bounty tournament. Well known poker
professionals participate in bounty poker tournaments along side
the regular online players. The winners share the prize pool in
the normal manner, but when a player knocks out a professional
he or she gets a special award called a bounty.
Doyles Room Poker is the online poker site operated by poker professional Doyle Brunson (in picture). Doyle Brunson is known as the godfather of poker and it is often said that the biography of Doyle is the history of poker in America. His son, daughter and daughter-in-law are also professional poker players and represent the Doyles Room online poker site.
Doyles Room Poker hosts a bounty tournament every Wednesday. On February 16 the members of the Brunson family with a bounty on their heads will be daughter Pamela and daughter-in-law Anjela. Online poker players often use interesting aliases and Anjela is known as “Russian Chick” at online poker sites. The third player with a bounty is model cum poker player Sasha Petrova. The tournament will commence at 9.00 PM Eastern Time on Wednesday. The winners will share a guaranteed prize pool of $5,000. And the bounty for knocking out any of the above named professionals will be $150. The buy-in will be $27.50 all included.
Doyles Room online poker site features quite a few professional poker players and they take turns in participating in the bounty tournament. Occasionally the godfather of poker himself plays in this poker tournament. But more watched out for are the celebrity participants like Sasha. Often seen are Nicky Hilton the hotel heiress and sister of the notorious Paris, Pamela Anderson of Baywatch fame and Jamie Lynn-Sigler the soprano star. These are no pushover bounties because they play a mean game of poker.
Doyles Room Poker site has just shifted to the Yatahay Poker Network. The traffic to the online poker site has doubled since then. Players have been assured of a more packed tournament schedule with larger guaranteed prizes. In fact the total prize pools announced for February add up to over $500,000.
