The player that wins the hand will be awarded the cash prize doubled.

After the winter holidays promotions, Carbon Poker goes on with a new, very exciting competition: Winter Games 2010. During February, all players can compete in winter poker Olympics, cash prizes, WSOP Seats, coupons, live seat satellites entries and special Gold, Silver and Bronze Olympic Accolades.

There will be two separate leaderboards, so the players can choose to compete in one or in both in the same time. The two competitions are: 2010 Alpine MTT and 2010 Nordic Combined Poker Championship.

Currently PKR offers a wide range of tournaments. Some of the most attractive and fun are the Double Thru and Break Thru tournaments.

In Double Thru tournaments the first half of the players doubles their buy-in. The most important thing is to survive to the payouts. It doesn’t matter the place you finish, because all winners receive the same amount. The Double Thru tournaments consist in just one table of 10 players, so 5 players will win and 5 players will lose. PKR offers Double Thru tournaments with a wide range of buy-ins starting with $5 + $0.50 and going up to $100 + $9.
