January 31 - Mansion Poker seems set to become one of the biggest online poker destinations and they aren't afraid to throw around some cash in order to get there. Earlier in the month we reported on the large sign up bonus that they offer, which will certainly lure in players of all abilities. The guaranteed tournament for a poker room is, however, what separates the heavy hitters from the lightweights in this industry and now Mansion is stepping up to the big league.
Their "Grand Tournament" held on the last weekend of every month in 2008 will offer guaranteed money of at least $750,000. It's not quite the $1 million Sundays at Poker Stars, but it is certainly newsworthy in its own right. The buy in of $1000 + $40 makes it more attractive in many respects because it ensures a smaller field (than the cattle calls at Stars or Full Tilt) and gives strong players better value.
There are plenty of satellite feeders for the tournament at Mansion, and these are going on round the clock starting out for as little as $1 + $0.20! For the price of a cold drink you could work your way through the qualifiers and end up playing for $750k.
