/ 888 Poker "PokerProForAYear" league but already the action
is hotting up! Players are flocking to play the many and varied tournaments
that will help them realize a dream to be a sponsored poker pro!
Remember that there are 48 whole weeks over which the

the time to join! If you think you can play low buy-in or freeroll
multi-table tournaments with even a little skill, then you will not
want to miss the opportunity to pick up points and learn to become
a better player on the way, and in addition have the chance to win
packages to several major 2007 poker tournaments even before the Main
Prizes are dished out! So
$500 free chips

The ten finalists will be flown, all expenses paid,
to a secret location to play a deciding live tournament that will
be webcast live right here on Poker News. This final will determine
who will be the winner of the Grand Prize and become a Poker Pro For
A Year!
