Pacific Poker saw great results by offering this tournament to Windows users through the download software and decided to give Macintosh poker players a chance to play.

The World Series of Poker qualifiers was also added to the Macintosh poker tournament options. Apple users can play in satellites held hourly with the final prize of a ticket to the 2006 World Series of Poker.
