As a major feature to its laundry list of September promotions, DoylesRoom.com – founded by 10-time WSOP bracelet winner and poker strategy legend, Doyle Brunson – has announced an attractive opportunity for competitive online tournament players. This Saturday, September 13^th, for a $22+2 buy-in, a slew of competitors will vie for 50 available seats to the Super Saturday $250K tournament at the end of the month.

Referred to as the DoylesRoom.com “$250K 50-Seat Guarantee Tournament,” this qualifying round makes entrance into their largest tournament of the season easier and more affordable to get into than ever before.  Although a continually growing site in the increasingly populated online poker industry, this tournament should do a great deal to boost memberships and real-money player statistics during peak and lower-volume hours.

As if the $50,000 grand prize for what could only amount to a $24 investment wasn’t quite notable enough, Doyle Brunson and his son and fellow poker pro, Todd, have even more in store for the Super Saturday extravaganza.  The Main Event itself, a $250K no-limit Texas Hold’em tournament, will be attended by a notable cast of poker pros and celebrities. 

Doyle Brunson, Todd Brunson, Mike Caro, Hoyt Corkins, T.J. Cloutier and several other poker pros will round out the crew of professionally stiff competition.  In addition, they will be joined by heiress Nicky Hilton, actresses Shannon Elizabeth (American Pie) and Jamie-Lynn Sigler (The Sopranos), and a few other Hollywood celebrities. 

Even more intriguing, any player that eliminates one these honored participants will collect the $1,000 bounty on his or her head in the form of a cash prize. 

The “$250K 50-Seat Guarantee Tournament” will begin this Saturday at 2PM Eastern Standard Time, but registration is currently underway, and seats are filling up quickly.
