It\u2019s Sunday and we look at poker beyond the U.S. and the Americas. We focus on an event that\u2019s beginning to consolidate its local presence in India. And so, the second edition of the India Online Poker Championship (IOPC) is now on the cards. What does this mean?<\/em><\/p>\n The ten-day poker tournament known as the India Online Poker Championship (IOPC) will be kicking off in earnest on July 13. The pow-wow will feature as many as 55 events that will pit some of the country\u2019s best players against one another. The event will be held through July 22 when a winner will emerge.<\/p>\n The tournament organizers haven\u2019t spared many efforts either. They are hoping that second iteration of the competitive online meet-up will garner even better interest, and have now put as much as $1 million in prize money<\/strong>. This is some penny in India or anywhere for that matter. <\/p>\n The prize money has been divvied up between a multitude of events that promise to keep you entertained throughout the whole duration of the tournament even if you are a mere spectator, and especially so if you are a successful competitor. <\/p>\n And so, a string of events will kick off. July 15<\/strong> will see \u201cThe Millionaire\u201d<\/strong> event take place, with prize money to the tune of $145,000<\/strong>, which can be quickly multiplied. The glitz and glamour of this particular leg will quickly fade when it\u2019s followed by the Super High Roller (SHR)<\/strong> with hefty sums flying around. <\/p>\n All of this will come with the Elite High Roller (EHR)<\/strong>, which is designed for the daredevils of Indian poker. The SHR kicks off on July 19 and it will provide you with a minimum guarantee of $72,000 in prize money, with the pot growing as participants become bolder. The HER will launch on July 20 and it will throw in $58,000. <\/p>\n The main event will be held after a short break on July 22 with $145,000 on the line. Additional events will spruce up the overall tournament. The tournament will also employ a leaderboard allowing the highest-ranking players to divvy up additional money, roughly $43,000. <\/p>\nVariety is Key \u2013 Many Events to Come<\/h2>\n
