BetOnline Poker announces Turbo Tournament for Indy 500 weekend

The Indianapolis 500 invades the legendary Indianapolis Motor Speedway this week and BetOnline Poker has made it a special weekend for poker players as well.

BetOnline Poker will be celebrating the Indy 500 weekend by launching the Poker 500 Turbo Tournament Series. The three-day event runs from Saturday to Monday, which works out well for American poker players as Monday is the Memorial Day holiday in the USA.

The tournament series includes 15 turbo tournaments starting on Saturday at 3 p.m. ET with an extremely cheap $2.20 No-Limit Hold’em tournament. The guaranteed prize pool for that tournament is $500.
