Poker Life: Betfair Grand Prix

 
 

Betfair Grand Prix IV
Schedule and Points structure

The fourth Betfair Grand Prix is here, with the biggest prize pool to date!

How do you fancy playing in next year’s WSOPE Main Event, without having to put your hand in your pocket? That’s what’s on offer in the fourth Grand Prix series..

There are 10 freeroll qualifiers in total, before the live grand final, along with a bonus pay-to-play tournament halfway through for the top 100 on the leaderboard.

Remember, there are individual prize pools for all of the freerolls ($1,000 for each), with a $3,000 runner-up pool for the Grand Final. In total we’re giving away prizes worth a staggering $40,000. Which leaves just one question – can you afford not to play? Sign up now!

HOW TO ENTER

If you have’t got a Betfair account download the software from www.betfairpoker.com/pokerplayer. Set up a real money account using the bonus code PPGP08 (you don’t need to deposit any money to play in the freerolls).

THE RULES

The Grand Prix consists of a series of 10 qualifying freerolls. The winner of each freeroll automatically qualifies for the live final.

At the end of the 10 freerolls, the 30 players with most points on the leaderboard (excluding the players who have already won seats) will also progress to the Grand Final, to play for a $3,000 prize pool and a £12,000 package to the 2008 WSOPE.

POINTS

You get five points for every freeroll you play in and an extra five-point bounty for knocking out any of the PokerPlayers (see picture for their online names).

You also get extra points and a cash prize for finishing in the top 30.
