Exciting news from the IPC!

We take great pleasure in announcing the MEGA event of the IPC from 2nd - 5th December 2010. It might be the end of the calender year but for poker enthusiasts across the country, it is only the beginning! The December event is an especially exciting time for us given the many things the IPC intends to introduce for the 2010-2011 season. 

• The first ever India Champion - We will crown the first ever India Champion at the December event. The Main Event will feature a buy-in of 25k and the winner will hold the title for the 2010-2011 season. An added incentive is that this tournament will feature a Minimum Guaranteed Prizepool of INR 10 lacs! 
• Increased number of Events - We did mention the word season and with good reason! The IPC will now have 6 events for the year starting from February 2011. So the full calender will feature tournaments in February, April. June, August, October and December. Each event will now contain 4 featured tournaments which means the IPC tournament weekend will now start on Thursday and end on Sunday. In all there will be a total of 24 featured tournaments through out the year all of which will go towards the IPC POY.  
• IPC POY - From the December event the IPC will launch a Leaderboard known as the IPC POY or Player of the Year. This will essentially award points to the top finishers in every tournament. The most consistent finishers will find themselves on the Leaderboard with a chance to become the IPC POY. A healthy cash bonus will be awarded to the POY which will be derived every single buy-in (500) from each of the 24 featured tournaments. Aside from this the POY will also receive lots of goodies! 

Event Schedule for IPC's December edition:-

• 2nd Dec 2010 - IPC 5k Freezeout (INR 5000+500)
• 3rd Dec 2010 - IPC 10k Freezeout (INR 10000+500)
