Fox Sports Announces New "Pokerdome" Series
December 15, 2005
While
the details are somewhat sketchy,
Fox Sports has signed on to host a
(WOW!) $10,000,000 buy-in
shorthanded poker tournament. This
would be a winner-take-all event
with 6 players competing. There are
plans to air this tournament live in
May 2006. We'll keep you updated on
this event as more details come out.
The
first confirmed entrant is Phil
Ivey, and this is a huge buy-in even
for professional players. The
$60,000,000 prize pool would be the
biggest award in the history of
sports. This should be an exciting
watch, and I hope that Fox gets some
decent ratings for this to show them
that they should add some more poker
programming besides the excellent
Poker Superstars series. Fox plans
to increase the stakes to $80M and
then $100M over the next two years
as well as creating the "Pokerdome",
a specially designed venue, for the
events.
