AbsolutePoker.com is bringing back its popular Absolute Poker College Challenge ("APCC"), which offers college students from all around the country the chance to win some serious cash and compete in a live final table for a $10,000 tuition.
Absolute Poker College Challenge begins on October 4th and will award over $30,000 in prizes. Rise to the head of the class for the chance to compete in a live final table facing-off against your poker peers, where the stakes are high and there's $10,000 in tuition on the line.
Absolute Poker will run tournament series, daily qualifiers and freerolls featuring buy ins ranging from $0.25 and $5 buy-ins, and a Weekly Main Event Qualifier on Sundays at 21:00ET that feeds the top nine players to the APCC Main Event, scheduled for Monday, November 30th at 20:30ET.
The top 6 students from the Main Event willeach get an entry into the 'Player of the Year' competition, a six-handed adrenaline-fuelled final table, filmed live in L.A. and streamed online at Bluff.com. This semester's Absolute Poker College Challenge is awarding the 'Player of the Year' a grand prize of $10,000 in free tuition, a custom-made APCC championship ring, and the chance to tell your story to the poker world via Bluff magazine.
"This poker tournament is a fun and easy way for college students to compete for an alternative way to pay for tuition, and we believe that this program is one of the best ways to create real added value for college students," said AbsolutePoker Pro and APCC consultant, Matt Vengrin.
Vengrin added that the company expects to significantly grow the number of entries for the upcoming fall tournament. With the growing passion for poker amongst students, the Absolute Poker College Challenge has established a strong campus program aimed at supporting college students across America.
