NBC Poker

NBCsports.com launched a new poker room this last weekend. Yes that is the NBC located in the United States. So what is the catch? There is no purchase necessary to play. NBC Sports has teamed up with Zen Gaming.

“We are happy to add NBC Sports as a partner,” stated Mark Brown, CEO of Zen Gaming. “Our team will provide all the logistical support for the promotion, including site development, hosting and tournament overview and administration. We look forward to bringing NBCSports.com, its advertisers, sponsors and, of course, its online constituency an immersive and compelling online contest.”

The poker room is open for anyone 21 or older and it’s free to play. Players can win NBC gear, cash, prizes, or the grand prize which is a seat at the 2010 HeadsUp Poker Championship with a $20,000 buy-in.

You can find tournaments starting every half hour for both single and multi-table Texas Holdem. These tournaments will go on for the next 9 months, and registered users will be competing for a spot in the final event which will be held February 15th. The winner will get the seat in the HeadsUP tournament plus the grand prize package. To check out the NBC Sports Poker Room visit www.nbcsports.com/pokerroom.
