  • Highlights of online poker tournaments available in New Jersey.

Online poker tournaments have been celebrating the New Year in the Garden State over the course of January. Two poker festivals are still running with just a few tournaments remaining on their schedules. As the festivals draw to a close, February promises to provide plenty of high guaranteed prize pool events on a daily and weekly basis with re-buys and late registration structures available.

WSOP Offers a $250,000 Freeroll and Bonuses For New Players

The WSOP.com Online Championships conclude with a No Limit Texas Holdem $250,000 Player’s Freeroll to be played on February 2nd. Any players who entered into any of the WSOP Online Championship events will be invited to the final Freeroll tournament for a last chance at cashing in on a slice of the event’s $1 million’s worth of guaranteed prize money.

If you missed the Online Championships, there are still plenty of tournaments on offer from WSOP.com, and if you are new to the site you can get a 100% deposit bonus up to $400. Also, a $10 registration bonus is available and you don’t even have to make a real money deposit to claim it.

Betfair has Two Day’s Remaining of No Fee Poker

Players at Betfair have a chance to take down one of the no-fee MTT’s and SnG’s, but hurry as these special tournaments are scheduled to end today. Buyins are from $1.10 to $55. Betfair has published an updated tournament schedule with these no fees on its site. Plus, it’s worth noting that some of these tournaments will come with a guaranteed prize pool attached reaching up to $200.

Party Poker’s Pokerfest

The eighteen day micro stakes Pokerfest is now on day 15. $28,200 of the $50,000 guaranteed prize pool has been paid out over the course of 37 of the 50 tournament on the schedule. There are still thirteen events left and the $10,000 main event is fast approaching. The virtual cards are due to be in the air at 2:00 pm on February 2nd, which will be the Pokerfest’s final day. This will be event number 48 with events 49 and 50 due to start on the same day.

Borgata’s Weekly and Daily Tournament Specials

Every Sunday the Borgata holds a Texas Hold’em tournament with a $50,000 guaranteed prize pool. For a $200 buyin, you could have the chance to grind your way into the money. The tournament begins at 7:30 pm and late registration will end after 180 minutes of play.

For those looking for a slightly smaller buyin level, every day the Texas Holdem $10,000 daily commences at 8:00 pm. This tournament will only set you back $100. Players will have two hours before late registration cuts off.

Low stakes players can also get their share of tournament action. The Texas Holdem $5,000 re-buy tournament brings forth an additional daily tournament in the Borgata’s online poker suite. At 8:30 pm a $10 buyin gets you a shot at the $5,000 prize pool. Those that drop out of the $10,000 daily, or those hitting the rail in the $50,000 Sunday have a chance to redeem themselves. Registration is open to all members and will close after one hour of play.

Ultimate Poker’s $20,000 Sundays

The No Limit Texas Holdem $20,000 Sundays tournament continues again this week at 6:00 pm on Sunday. Up until 6:00 pm, you can buyin for $100 and grind through 15 minute blind levels.

Similarly, the No Limit Texas Holdem $5,000 Nightly will continue. Buyins are $50, and the tournament will commence at 7:30 pm with a slightly faster structure featuring 10 minutes blind levels.

New to the site is the No Limit Hold’em $555 nighty event starting at 7:00 pm. The buyin is set at just $5.00 and the tournament plays out with unlimited re-buys through the first break, after which players can opt for a one time adon. Blind levels are just 10 minutes, the buyins suits low stakes players and the daily event has an exciting structure. Expect this tournament to be packed every night with a bulky prize pool after re-buys and add-ons.
