This week on the Road to Vegas…

Play heads-up in the World Series!

This week on the Road to Vegas – freeroll for a seat in the 2009 World Series of Poker* Heads-up with a package worth a whopping $12,000! Earn your starting stack playing heads-up Sit & Go’s on PKR where you’ll get one freeroll chip for every dollar you win.

How variable stacks work

Mix it up with cool variations like Phase tournaments that give you a shot at up to $700 for as little as 25 cents.

A whole new way to play PKR!

Phase tournaments combine the fast-paced excitement of Sit & Go’s with the chance to go for big money payouts from small buy-ins. Now PKR has two cool ways to play one of the most popular tournament variations…

10 seat phase tournaments

Heads Up Phase tournaments

Elite Heads Up Phase tournaments New!

Buy-in to ten seat Phase tournaments at any level

Buy-in at any phase and play your way through a ten seat format that works the same way as PKR Sit & Go’s. You can also satellite in with PKR Points.

Play your way to the top in ten seat Phase tournaments

With low buy-ins at early phases and big payouts at the top, Phase tournaments give you maximum value (and excitement) for your money! And even if you don’t win your phase, you still get another shot if you finish in a good enough position. Finish on top you’ll go up – finish lower down and you can get another shot…

Brand new! – WSOP* Final Phase satellites – Use Final Phase tickets to win your entry to our $625 buy-in World Series of Poker Grand Final. The top two finishers win a seat in the Grand Final with four other places receiving entry to Phases 2, 3, 4 and 5. Check out the Sit & Go lobby now!

Heads Up Phase tourneys

Fast paced, relentless, intense. Heads up poker is the game stripped down to its essentials – and PKR has taken it to a whole new level with Heads Up Phase tournaments. Buy in at any level (and remember, you can use the same Phase one ticket you use to get into ten seat Phase tourneys to get into a Heads Up Phase).

Win your way to the top

Low buy-ins at the early Phases and a big payout at the top means you can turn an investment of as little as $4 (including fee) into a $380 payday! What’s more, you get more poker for the money because once you’re past Phase two you still stay in the game, even if you lose.

Elite Heads Up Phases

Those with a head for heights should check out the brand new five-stage Elite Heads Up Phases for even bigger cash prizes.
Climb your way to the $1,500 top payout by defeating just five more opponents.
Miss out and you’ll get another shot at an earlier Phase.
Buy-in direct or use Heads Up Final Phase tickets to enter Elite Phase One.
Having reached the Heads Up Final Phase, you choose whether to play for $380 or head for the short climb upwards to the Elite summit!

With great value for money along the way, turning a $4 investment into $1,500 has never been easier or more fun at pkr!
