Download Poker770 to play in the exclusive PokerNews $25,000 Showdown!

There isn’t a poker player in the world who doesn’t like turning less than $10 into a share of a guaranteed $25,000 prize pool, and thanks to PokerNews and Poker770 that is exactly what is on offer in the PokerNews $25,000 Showdown.

The event is a $7.70+$0.77 rebuy tournament. The field will be capped at 3,000 players with rebuys limited to 10 per player until the first break when players will be allowed one add-on. Given these rules, there is a very good chance this tournament features an overlay.

In July, PokerNews, in conjunction with Poker770, hosted The PokerNews GIANT, which was a $2 rebuy tournament with a $30,000 guarantee. There were 6,000 rebuys from the 1,868 field, meaning there was an overlay of nearly $15,000! This made the PokerNews GIANT one of the best valued tournaments we have ever hosted. The PokerNews $25K Showdown could create another tremendous value tournament on Poker770 again on Oct. 28 at 2100 CET.
