888weekly: 888poker Increases Guaranteed Prizes and Brings Live Event to Brazil

As the winter months approach in most of the world, many poker players have headed back to their computers to play online. In response to this, the world's second largest real-money online poker network, 888poker, has increased its posted guarantees on many of its most popular tournaments.

The changes should benefit all low-, mid-, and high-stakes poker players alike as guaranteed prize pools have increased on a wide variety of tournaments.

Low-stakes players are now guaranteed to play for bigger money in five different tournaments with a buy-in of $5 or less. For example, the $3 buy-in $2,500 Mega Micro received a 20-percent boost in guaranteed money and is now the $3,000 Mega Micro.
