Ongame Network has announced The Ongame Network Poker Classic, a tournament with a record-breaking guaranteed prize pool of $5 million and at least $1 million for the final winner. This will be the largest-ever guaranteed prize for an event that starts online.

It is an exclusive event where the players can ONLY enter through qualifying rounds held on Ongame Network operators’ websites. (A full list of the websites can be found below.)
The Ongame Network Poker Classic will start as an online tournament and then pause when there are 45 players left.

Those 45 will then receive airplane tickets to Barcelona, Spain, for the live final to battle it out on the green felt face to face – continuing with the same chip stacks they had when the online tournament paused. The final will take place in the prestigious Casino de Barcelona during the weekend of September 30th – October 1st, 2006.

Ongame Network’s operators are working together to host this innovative event for all their players. It will be a distinctive event that cuts through the clutter of mid-level poker tournaments offered by other individual poker sites.
Ongame Network is investing a significant and unprecedented amount in the event, and the players will see the benefit, because travel and hotel expenses will not be taken from the prize pool or players’ pockets. For the equivalent entry fee of $5000+200, the top 45 players will receive both their tournament buy-in AND a $5000 (approximate value) travel package.

Sit & Go and scheduled tournament-based qualifiers start on Monday, March 27th. Players can proceed through various levels which start at $1 – so the eventual winner could potentially get a one million percent return on their initial buy-in!

To participate in the Ongame Network Poker Classic, players should register an account with one of the Network’s operatorsQualifiers can be entered through any Ongame Network operator:
