PokerRoad.com, in cooperation with PokerStars, the world's largest online poker room, is putting together a new exciting tournament where the winner will earn the right to sit at the feet of the master, Barry Greenstein, while learning the ways of "The Bear."

Full details of this upcoming event are not yet apparent, but what is known so far is that this $10+$1 buy-in tournament will - along with the first place prize of one hour's worth of personal poker instruction from Barry Greenstein - also award a $1,000 bounty on Bear's head and $500 bounties on four of Barry's cohorts, in addition to whatever prize pool is distributed through entries.

That prize pool will be further bolstered with another $1,000 added, certainly making this one of the best values on PokerStars for an $11 tournament.

Exact dates and times for this tournament are still being hashed out as of this writing, however, it has been announced that to help new players prepare for the event - which will probably take place around the beginning of next month - PokerStars is offering a first time deposit bonus of up to $600 to new users, if they sign up with the promo code "STARS600".
