October 22, 2009

Every month for the next three months a set of Online Forum Challenges will take place at Power Poker. The events will consist of one big free roll and one buy-in with cash and prizes added. Prizes will also be given out to the forums that perform the best.

At the end of the three month time frame all players that participated in all three buy-in tournaments will be eligible to play Sahamies in the Heads Up Bonus Free roll. Added to the general prize pool is a bounty on Sahamies. The winner of the Free roll will meet up with Sahamies and play heads up live for $1,000.

The first set of Online Forum Challenges will take place this Saturday with a $2,000 free roll. A $5 buy-in with $2,000 in cash and prizes added will take place on the 25th. Both tournaments will begin at 3pm eastern. Jason “Wolf” Rosenberg the President of Global Gaming Events, who owns and operates the Online Forum Challenge, commented: “We are absolutely thrilled to be working with Ziigmund and the entire Power Poker Team. Our events have awarded players with over half a million dollars in added prize money in the last few years, but this is probably the coolest prize so far.”

‘Chiquita’ Wins $100K Guaranteed Tournament at Bodog

October 14, 2009

Online poker rooms are quite busy on the weekends due to the various guaranteed poker tournaments that take place. Bodog Poker offers players a $100,000 Guaranteed tournament every weekend and this weekend’s tournament was won by online player ‘Chiquita’.

The $100,000 guaranteed tournament at Bodog has a buy-in of $150 plus 12 but players can earn their seat via satellite at Bodog if they so choose. This can be the better route for a player who does not have the largest bank roll. Qualifiers start as low as $1 so anyone can afford to try for a seat to the $100k tournament.

This past Sunday 441 players registered to compete in the tournament. The tournament did not see enough players to reach the $100,000 guaranteed prize pool so Bodog added $33,850 to meet the guarantee. The tournament takes place each Sunday at 4:00pm ET. The top three players of this past weekend’s tournament were ‘Chiquita’, ‘ello’ and ‘O Mother Muc’.

Play would tough and ‘O Mother Muc’ would be the first to go so ‘Chiquita’ and ‘ello’ would begin competing in heads up play. The game belonged to ‘Chiquita’ as he would finish in first place after taking out ‘ello’. ‘Chiquita’ is no stranger to the final table of the $100k guaranteed tournament as he made the final table of the tournament just a few months ago.

Final Results:
Chiquita – $25,000
ello – $15,000
O Mother Muc – $9,500
blwm – $7,000
pokerarg – $5,500
stareblankly – $4,500
Tommy2tyme – $3,500
L_Dub8 – $2,200
DATALINFR – $1,700

Bodog Poker Offering 100% Match Reload Bonus

October 8, 2009

Bodog Poker is currently running a special reload bonus for their players. The bonus is a 100% Match Reload Bonus and for a limited time players will be able to take advantage of this great bonus. This is a great way to earn extra cash at your existing poker account.

To earn the deposit players must make a deposit in their account. Players will then need to hit the poker tables and for every 10 poker points earned players will earn $1 bonus dollar. Players have up to third days after the date of their deposit to earn the 100% Match Reload Bonus.

The maximum amount a player can earn with this bonus is $500 and this bonus cannot be stacked. Additional deposits can be made to earn more poker points to maximize the bonus amount to be earned but extra deposits will not increase the eligible maximum bonus amount within the time period.

So an example of this bonus would be if a player deposits $500. In the first thirty days that player must earn 5000 poker points to clear the maximum $500 cash reload bonus. To earn poker points players must participate in Ring Games, Tournaments and just plain playing poker. Points are earned during ring games when the player contributes to a raked pot. Players will earn three points for every dollar in fees paid for tournaments entered. Players will also earn one point for every hour spent playing at the poker table and remember sitting out is not considered playing time.
