Tournament with a guaranteed prize pool of $5 million on FCP
A quote from Daniel N from his website
"I just don't want to tell you things now that are unoffical. "Unofficially" it will be a guaranteed prize pool of $5 million and you'll be able to qualify for as little as $1. "Unofficially" it will be an online tournament where the final 45 players will continue the tournament at a live venue in Barcelona." -------------------- God Bless, Daniel Negreanu

Re: Tournament with a guaranteed prize pool of $5 million on FCP
Given that FCP isn't exactly big, and that the buyin won't top 2.5k, I think we can expect some sort of ginormous overlay here. Or, we can expect this not to materialize when FCP realizes they'll be putting a ton of money into the prize pool.
It's almost enough incentive to put up with crappy PokerRoom software and register an account at FCP, though.
