The Great Poker League Increases 2007 Prize Fund by 50% to $75,000

Whilst many online poker portals are consolidating or closing, www.thegreatpokerleague.com goes from strength to strength by announcing a massive increase to next year's prize pool.

Shoreham By Sea, West Sussex, UK (PRWEB) December 19, 2006 -- The Great Poker League (GPL) has announced that in 2007, there will be $75,000 for its members to win. This is up from $50,000 in 2006.

As in 2006, there will also be a major sponsorship contract for one of the top players from the annual league.

The extra money is going to be used to reward more players. From January, 50 players will cash in the monthly league (up from 20) and 100 will get paid in the annual (up from 50).

Marketing Director, Colin Hawker commented, "We are delighted to be in a position to increase our Prize Fund for next year. At the GPL we have all been taken back by the rapid growth, despite a number of obstacles, namely the USA Issue. Next year we will be rewarding more of our players."

The GPL creates league tables from the Boss Poker network, and is fed by over 750 games every month.

There are now over 35,000 players listed in what is now recognised as the net's largest multi room poker league.
