RakeTheRake is pleased to announce a prestigious new poker tournament specifically for online players. The King of Gamers tournament, set to run for five weeks during January and February 2013, boasts a GBP6,000 prize fund. Four freeroll tournaments will take place in the lead up to the grand final, in which qualifiers will face professional poker player and former gamer Max Silver, who has won over $150,000 in the last 12 months alone.
The Texas no limit hold 'em tournament is being run in association with PokerStars, and aims to find the best poker player from the gaming community. Players can enter as many of the qualifiers as they want. These each have a GBP250 prize pot and will run every Wednesday from January 16th 2013. The full list of qualifiers is as follows:
