- Highlights of online poker tournaments available in New Jersey.
Regular poker tournaments at the New Jersey online poker rooms are running daily and weekly, offering members the chance to participate in tournament events with prize pools up to $50,000. Deepstacks, re-buys, top-ups, bounty hunting and high rollers have become regular features in the Garden State’s virtual online poker rooms.
Borgata Tournaments Every Day of the Week
In the Borgata’s virtual poker room the $50,000 Sunday makes up for the most prestigious prize pool of all the daily and weekly tournaments. It is accessible for a $200 buyin starting at 7:30pm every Sunday, although late registration is open until 10:30pm.
From Monday to Saturday, Borgata members still have the chance to test their skills in a Texas Holdem $10,000 Daily at 8:00pm for a $100 buyin. Registration for this event stays open until 10pm.
In addition, a Texas Holdem $5,000 re-buy tournament now operates Monday to Friday at 8:30pm. For those who drop out of the $10,000 Daily, this tournament is great back up plan.
The advertising on the site is a little confusing right now as the guarantee on the tournament details page displays $10,000 in the prizepool when it should say $5,000. Despite this minor error in detail, every 100 entrants adds another $1,000 to the prize money, plus re-buys are to be added over the top of the guarantee and buyins. This tournament has the potential to reach a $10,000 prize pool on a busy day. The buyin for the $5k Daily Re-buy is just $10 and registration ends at 9:30pm.
Ultimate Poker’s Daily and Weekly Guaranteed Tournaments
Ultimate Poker is running a new promotion called NO-verlay. Until March 9, every time you play in a special guaranteed tournament at Ultimate Poker that reaches its guarantee you will get your buyin back.
Right now Ultimate Poker hosts tournaments with guaranteed prize pools from $20,000 to $100. The 6pm $20,000 Sunday No Limit Holdem tournament costs $100 to enter and you’ll be grinding through 15 minute blind levels.
Every day members have a shot at the $5,000 Nightly Re-buy and Add-on tournament starting at 7:30pm. The buy-in is $50 and blind levels increase every 10 minutes. If $50 is too rich, then the $555 Nightly at 7:00pm offers the chance to grind in an Ultimate Poker tournament for just $5 with re-buys and add-ons crammed into 10-minute blind increments.
Also, there is a $100 Daily Freeroll starting at 7:30pm with 5 minute blind levels giving players tournament plus turbo action.
WSOP Online Satellite Saturdays
Each and every Saturday on WSOP NJ, poker players can win a seat into the main event of the World Series of Poker.
There is $215 WSOP Main Event Satellite exclusively for New Jersey’s online poker players signed up with WSOP.com. Winners will be awarded a $10,000 main event buy-in ticket and get their chance to grind their way to the November 9 final table.
partypoker’s Majors
partypoker NJ’s Bounty majors include $1 to $50 buy-in tournaments. Players will be paid each time they knock out an opponent. The schedule for these bounty events often chops and changes, so keep an eye out on the partypoker tournaments page for the next event. There are Saturday and Sunday high prize pool guarantees and daily mid-range guaranteed tournaments.
The non-bounty Major poker tournaments are also looking quite special. High rollers, second chances and deep stack tournaments are running regularly on Party Poker. There are a series of weekly and daily tournaments offering buyins for as little as $1 with a chance to earn a slice of a $2,500 prize pool.
Higher stakes Majors cost around $200 to enter to take a shot at Sundays’ guaranteed $50,000 prize pool. There are also Sunday Second Chance and High Roller tournaments with $25,000 in the prize pool for a $200 and $500 buyin respectively.
