The Online Series of Poker
I've been seeing some buzz about the Online Series of Poker, which is being sponsored by Citadel Commerce. It's a series of online tournaments which eventually culminate in a $100,000 freeroll at the Trump Taj Mahal in Atlantic City. The buy-ins for the tournaments online are either $100 or $250 depending on whether or not you play on Saturday or Sunday, and there's a leader board and forum on the Online Series of Poker site.
The winner of the event in Atlantic City will receive $30,000, and even tenth place is worth $5000. The trip to Atlantic City is all expenses paid based on winning one of the qualifying tournaments. The first qualifier has already been held at Party Poker, and the winners were "ACETT" and "AllDayTJ". Congratulations to both winners of the Online Series of Poker qualifier at Party Poker.
The following qualifiers are still coming up:

The following qualifiers are still coming up:
- Ultimate Bet on Saturday June 25 and on Sunday June 26
- Poker Room on Saturday July 16 and on Sunday July 18
- Absolute Poker on Saturday August 6 and on Sunday August 7
- Golden Palace Poker on Saturday August 27 and on Sunday August 28
The Online Series of Poker will be held on Saturday October 8 at the Trump Taj Mahal. Winning one of the qualifiers also qualifies you for the all expense paid trip to Atlantic City, so this could be a very profitable venture if you do well.
They're also sponsoring a leader board, where the leaders receive cash prizes in addition to the prize money from the main event at the Trump Taj Mahal. You can win from $500 to $3000 for being on the leaderboard for this event.
Anyway, looks like a cool opportunity, so I thought I'd help spread the word about it. If you decide to play at a new poker room for one of the qualifiers, please be sure to use one of my links to sign up for it.
