New Online Poker Championship

Online poker giant Party Poker.com has announced a new online poker championship event with a top prize of $250 000 scheduled for launch in March this (2010) year.

The inaugural Online Cash Game Championships (OCGC) will be divided into seven levels. At each level, players will need to play 400 hands in a day with the most profitable players advancing towards the final table which takes place on 2nd April.

As the participants progress through the levels, cash prizes will be added and both the stakes and the quality of the opposition will increase.
The first stage of inaugural OCGC will run from 1st to 5th March on PartyPoker.com's $0.50/$1 no-limit hold'em cash tables - and players will have to opt in to take part.
