Online poker room Absolute Poker may be close to an agreement with the US Department of Justice. The online poker site has been in legal trouble since April 14th. Like fellow poker sites Full Tilt Poker and Poker Stars, the site was locked down by the US on what is being called poker's Black Friday, but unlike the other two has no agreement to get funds to give back to its players. That may soon change if the announcement from the poker site is accurate.
The new Sunday Storm poker game kicks off this weekend. The event, sponsored by online poker room PokerStars, has an enhanced guaranteed prize-pool. Normally the PokerStars Sunday ¼ Million has a guaranteed prize-pool of $250,000, hence the name. This Sunday, however, poker players will be playing for a 1,000,000 guaranteed prize pool with a $200,000 guaranteed first prize. The poker game kicks off at 3:30 PM Eastern time and has a buy in of $11. If enough people play the prize poll could exceed the guarantee.
