Half-Time Ultra Turbos at Betfair Poker
Plenty of World Cup fans enjoy playing online poker, and just as many online poker room players like to watch World Cup football matches, so Betfair Poker has come up with something that will appeal to both groups – Half-Time Ultra Turbos. As the name suggests, these tournaments have been specifically designed to be played during the half-time break of World Cup matches, and you can get involved at half time in as many World Cup matches as you like.
The 2010 World Cup is still in the group stages, so there are plenty of matches left and that means plenty of Half-Time Ultra Turbos for you to have a go at. Each Half-Time Ultra Turbo game if free to enter (no buy-in required) and starts 5 minutes after the scheduled half-time break of each match. Players get a starting stack of 300 chips and blinds increase every minute, so the games are short and sweet and allow you to get back to the television screen or radio for the second half of each match.
Each Half-Time Ultra Turbo game will give the top ten players a free seat in the special Closing Ceremony game that takes place on Monday 12 July at 7:15pm UK time. The Closing Ceremony game has $10,000 Guaranteed, so although you might be disappointed by the World Cup drawing to a close, you could win yourself a hefty cash prize that is sure to put a smile on your face.
At the time of writing there are more than two dozen 2010 World Cup matches to be played, so there are just as many Half-Time Ultra Turbo games for you to take part in. No player can qualify for the Closing Ceremony game more than once, so even if it takes you a week or two to win yourself a seat you will still be on level terms with someone who manages to win on their first attempt.
Visit Betfair Poker today to see a complete list of Half-Time Ultra Turbo starting times, then get involved and try to win yourself a seat in the $10,000 Guaranteed Closing Ceremony game. It could make your 2010 World Cup experience a lot more profitable than it would have been otherwise
