The Merge Gaming Network is raising the buy-in of the upcoming Sunday Big Ticket 100k Guaranteed tournament...
The Professional Rakeback US online poker news department would like to report an announcement regarding the Merge Gaming Network's largest weekly multi-table tournament, the "Sunday Big Ticket." This upcoming Sunday, January 13th, 2013, the Merge Gaming Network has doubled the buy-in for their Sunday major. The event, normally a $100+9 event, is going to be a $200+15 event. This is being done as a test based on feedback received from the latest Poker Maximus Online Poker Tournament Series.
