Right on the heels of PKR’s Springfest 09 PKR has announced a new tournament series that will be aimed directly at small stake players.  PKR’s small stake championships start on March 30th and finish up to April 12th.  All the events range from buy-ins of $0.50 to $8 which goes to show that this truly is a small stake tournament series.

There will also be a tournament of champions where the winner of the tournament takes down a PKR majors package that includes many big buy-in tournament entries.  The 14 event winners plus the top 6 leaderboard finishers will gain entry to this tournament of champions and have a shot at the prize package.

There will also be a $2000 freeroll for anyone who played in at least 1 PKR small stake championship event.  Each event you participate in earns you 250 chips towards the $2K freeroll.  So play in all events and start the $2K freeroll with a massive 3500 chip stack!

Details
To celebrate the upcoming bond movie, “Quantum of Solace”, PKR is changing their regular Wednesday night bounty tournament into a Bond Bounty.  The tournament will take place this Wednesday @ 2pm EST.  The buy-in is $30 and there will be a guaranteed prize pool of $12,500.  All six bonds will be in the game, from Connery to Brosnan to Craig.  Knock out any bond and you’ll receive $100.  Also $5 of the buy-in goes on the head of all the other players in the tournament as well, so any other player you knock out nets you $5.

Overview
This tournament is a good value tournament with $600 extra added to the pot, in the form of the 6 bond bounties.  PKR’s bounty tournaments are always a ton of fun, and I would encourage anyone who can to play and get in the 007 mood.  If you are thinking about becoming a new player at PKR, make sure you get a PKR bonus code when making your first deposit to take advantage of their bonus offers.  You should at least download PKR and try out the best poker software in the industry.
