On August 22nd at 4:00pm ET, the USA-friendly online poker site DoylesRoom will be sending players to the Todd Brunson Montana Poker Challenge through a $226.60 Grand Finale. One prize package is guaranteed and DoylesRoom will add another for every 10 players in the tournament.
The younger Brunson will host the winners from August 31st to September 6th in the Treasure State for “a one-week poker experience featuring top pros and ordinary players,” according to a press release distributed by DoylesRoom over the weekend. The tournament series has a Main Event that features a $1,110 buy-in and the site will deposit $2,200 into a player’s account should they qualify for the Montana extravaganza.
The first of three Weekly Semifinals took place on August 7th on DoylesRoom, offering a $22.70 buy-in and sending one in every 10 players to the Grand Finale on August 22nd. If you missed out on the first Weekly Semifinal, don’t sweat. On August 14th and 21st at 4:00pm ET, you can pony up the $22.70 buy-in and attempt to claim a seat in the Todd Brunson Montana Poker Challenge Grand Finale.
Daily satellites are also available and run hourly between 4:00pm ET and 10:00pm ET. These low-budget qualifiers have a price tag of $2.22 and one in every 10 players advances to the Weekly Semifinals. The daily satellites began appearing in the DoylesRoom tournament lobby on August 4th and will continue to be held until the 20th.
The Todd Brunson Montana Poker Challenge will take place in Big Fork. Although a list of pro attendees has not yet been released, we wouldn’t be surprised to see several members of the DoylesRoom clan appear. Doyle Brunson serves as the primary face of DoylesRoom, which also features “The Mad Genius of Poker” Mike Caro and two-time World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet winner Hoyt Corkins. The DoylesRoom press release also touts that members of the Brunson family will be in attendance.
Winners of trips to the Todd Brunson Montana Poker Challenge are responsible for making their own travel and accommodation arrangements. Seats to the event are non-transferable and DoylesRoom members are only allowed to win one package each.
In other DoylesRoom news, the site is running a Gold Card Match and Win promotion in August. Cash, tournament entries, and Gold Chips are on the line for players who can match Gold Card sequences with Cards they’ve earned by playing on the virtual felts of the popular Cake Poker Network site. Only Gold Cards earned during the month of August qualify for the Gold Card Match and Win promotion and a top prize of $25,000 is up for grabs.
Next Monday, August 16th, DoylesRoom will be holding the latest installment of its Beat the Brunson 10 tournament. The event, which runs every other Monday, features $500 bounties on the heads of members of the Brunson 10, a group of eight up-and-coming online poker superstars. The Beat the Brunson 10 tournament on DoylesRoom will set you back $22, $10 of which will be placed on your head as a bounty.

Also during the WSOP, Dan “djk123” Kelly claimed the seventh spot in the group by virtue of taking down a bracelet in the $25,000 Six-Handed No Limit Hold’em tournament.
