<p class="mobile-post">Microgaming online poker networked room, Poker Time, will launch a series of
NFL tournaments on October 7. The series will culminate in three finals.
Only 24 players will play in each tournament so the action will be
fierce...The limited number of players per tournament makes this series
rather unusual, but increases players' odds to get to the finals. The poker
rooms is putting up $10,000 guaranteed for the finals. PokerTime has also
come up with an interesting angle. It is giving players the option of using
the money they win to secure Superbowl tickets and experience the action
live, in person.  There are two very easy ways to qualify for one of the
three finals. First,  there is a buy in option to the 20 qualifying
tournaments, and second, players can meet the raked hands requirements to
qualifgy. Finally, players will be asked to predict the outcome of an NFL
game that takes place on the weekend of the qualifying tournament that they
are playing in. If the yet it right, they will receive an extra 50 chips to
play with.</p>
