Phase tournaments hit PKR

PKR have introduced a new tournament structure which combine the convenience of Sit & Go’s with the big cash payouts of MTT’s … and they’re called Phase tournaments.

Phase tournaments consist of five levels with the buy-in starting at $3.60 for phase one and rising to $160.00 for the final phase. Players can join the tournament at any time they chose, although cash is only paid out after the final level.

If you finish at the top end of your level, then you get promoted to the next level. What’s great though is that even if you finish in the middle of the field, you get to give that same level another go for no additional cost!

Make it all the way to the top end of the fifth phase and you’ll be walking away with $700. You’ll get $200 just for finishing fourth.

It’s a great way for new players to get into online poker. And for those of you who aren’t signed up to PKR yet, check out our PKR Bonus Codes to ensure that you get yourself extra cash to play with.

See you at the tables!
