Kicking off this week, leading online casino and poker room, 888.com, and the Internet's respected online poker authority, PokerNews.com, are to team up to host the marathon poker tournament, PokerProForAYear (pokerproforayear.com) - a year of tournaments that will end with one lucky player securing the fantasy prize of an all-inclusive sponsorship to four of the poker world's largest tournaments in 2008. With PokerProForAYear, 888.com's Pacific Poker has created a year-long tournament exclusively for players from PokerNews.com. Through a series of six two-month leagues, ten skilled players will gamble their way to the elite PokerProForAYear Final. These players will be whisked away in true VIP style to a secret location where they'll compete for the sponsorship and the first-ever title of PokerProForAYear. The Grand Prize winner can expect to walk away with the year-long sponsorship while the runner up will also be sponsored in one global offline event in 2008.
