Online poker room Poker Plex recently revealed plans to exclusively sponsor the first annual $400,000 PokerTurn Challenge, slated for mid-August at Arizona's Casino Del Sol. Poker Plex's intended sponsorship of a land-based tournament is further testament to the gradual merging of online poker and its land-based counterpart.
The PokerTurn Challenge expects to host more than 500 poker players, who will be able to enter the Texas hold'em tournament for a buy-in of $500.
"Poker has experienced a huge surge in popularity in the last few years, and tournaments are a vital part in facilitating this growth," commented Poker Plex manager Michael Chambers. "We are honored to be the exclusive sponsors of this inaugural event, and are keen to see the tournament develop further."
Poker Plex offers online poker players a wide range of poker variations from which to choose, including Texas Hold'em, Omaha High, Omaha Hi/Lo and 7 Card Stud. The site is powered by WagerLogic's online poker platform.
