LONDON, January 23 /PRNewswire/ --     Since the days when poker was a game played on the Mississippi
Riverboats, and travelling card sharks would compete for 'table superiority'
and bragging rights, poker players have always looked for ways to prove that
they are better than one and other. You only have to observe some the chat
between players at online celebrity poker room, CelebPoker, to see how eager
most online poker players are to outshine their opponents and prove they are
the best.

Well, now there will be no argument, as CelebPoker today announced the
launch of their brand new online poker league.

Their new online poker league will be run as a monthly competition for
all CelebPoker players, factoring in a unique points system (which considers
the number of participants and level of buy-in at each tournament) to ensure
that only the best players rise to the top of the table. Indeed, with a
staggering EUR51,000 to be won every month, the lofty position at the top of
the leader-board is definitely a place that poker players will want to
finish.

From 1st February, players at CelebPoker will have the chance to accrue
league points in 21 weekly tournaments, with a choice of 3 tournaments per
day running at different times to suit. At these tournaments players will be
able to generate league points (and cash bonuses) based on three factors: the
position they finish, the number of players taking part in the tournament and
how much it cost to the buy-in (enter), with the final number of points
calculated by multiplying these three factors together. The online poker
league is free to enter and, quite simply, the more points that a player can
amass over a monthly period, the higher they will soar up the TOP 20
leader-board and the bigger cash prize they will win!

Now here is the interesting part! As part of its online poker league
set-up, CelebPoker is also adding extra cash rewards to the prize pools of
their biggest weekly guaranteed tournaments. In a bold move, that will be
very popular with the online poker community, CelebPoker has outlined 4
weekly network MTT's (Multi-Table Tournaments) in which players can win these
splendid bonuses:

- Monday 11:00 (GMT) EUR4,000 Rebuy - Win this and they will
double your 1st prize!

- Wednesday 20:00 EUR25,000 Daily Guaranteed - Win this and they
will give you a EUR2000 bonus!

- Saturday 14:30 EUR5,500 Rebuy - Win this and they will double
your 1st Prize!

- Sunday 20:00 EUR100,000 Weekly - Finish in the top 5 receive an
extra EUR1,000!

These great tournament prizes are available exclusively for CelebPoker
players and are not available on any other Boss Media partner. In short, you
have to join CelebPoker to get your hands on the cash and play in the league.

Whether you are new to the game of poker or a battle-scarred
professional, CelebPoker's CEO, Dave Donovan, knows just how good it feels to
see your name sitting pretty at the top of an internet poker league table or
have a poker room double your 1st place prize money:

'Our main objective was to create an online poker league that is
competitive, challenging and fun, for players for players at all levels, and
we have produced a great league format with a simple structure and excellent
prizes. At CelebPoker we're not afraid to push the boundaries, and the fact
that we are adding extra cash incentives on-top of existing tournament prize
pools will be a great attraction for many online poker players. Why would you
want to play your tournament poker anywhere else?'

With more prizes on offer than any of their competitors, free entry for
all CelebPoker players and a poker league structure that is simple and easy
to understand, it's a very good question!
