College Tuition Up for Grabs at Absolute Poker

October 6 - One lucky student could walk away with a $10,000 tuition prize in Absolute Poker's College Challenge that kicked off on October 4th.

The site is running qualifiers that will eventually feed the Main Event on November 30th, 2009, which will finally result in the Player of the Year live table in Los Angeles.

"This tournament is a fun and easy way for college students to compete for an alternative way to ay for tuition and we believe that this program is one of the best ways to create real added value for college students," said Absolute Poker Pro, Matt "Plattsburgh" Vengrin.

Players hoping to get a chance to win this great tuition prize can do so as follows:

• Freerolls and buy ins ($0.25 - $5) take place on a daily basis at Absolute Poker.
• The top nine players from these daily events qualify for a freeroll that takes place the following day.
• The top 15 players from this freeroll enter the Weekly Main Event Qualifier that runs each Sunday at Absolute Poker.
• The first Weekly Main Event Qualifier will run on October 11th, with the final one running on November 29th. All Weekly Qualifiers come with a prize pool of $200.
• The top nine players from each Weekly Qualifier will compete in the Main Event that will take place on November 30th.
• The top six players will travel to Los Angeles to play for the Player of the Year title and win $10K in tuition.

The second prize in the final event is $5K, and the other four players will win prizes ranging from $3K to $2K. Travel expenses are also included.
