UK and Ireland Race at Bet365 Poker
A $10,000 UK and Ireland Race at Bet365 Poker takes place from 6-12 August and, as the name of the competition suggests, the race is open to all online poker room players who live in the UK and Ireland. The guaranteed prize pool of $10,000 will be paid out to the 40 players who accumulate the most Leaderboard Points over the course of the competition, with the clear winner taking home a top prize of $1,350.
Earning Leaderboard Points in the $10,000 UK and Ireland Race at B365 Poker is simple. All you have to do is play cash games and every time you participate in a Qualifying Raked Hand you will be awarded Leaderboard Points. The number of Leaderboard Points that you will be awarded from any Qualifying Raked Hand will depend on the number of players participating in the hand and also on the size of the rake that is taken from it.
The definition of a Qualifying Raked Hand is one where the rake has a value of $0.25 or more, and you need to be dealt cards in that hand to receive points for participating in it. If you are sitting out for any reason then you aren’t counted as participating in the hand for the purposes of this competition.
Poker players who intend to have a go at the $10,000 UK and Ireland Race at Bet365 Poker should be aware that they are giving their consent for their names (nickname and real name) to be used in publicity releases concerning the event. We think that this makes the competition a great way to grab some of the online poker limelight and establish a name for yourself, but if you’re a shy type you might disagree.
Existing members of the Bet365 poker room will be pleased to learn that they will earn their usual Merit Points during the competition, so even if you don’t finish in the top 40 you will still be able to pursue your VIP rewards. Those of you who are not yet members of Bet365 Poker will be just as pleased to hear that you can get a fantastic 100% Match Up bonus when you join!
