With the World Series biting dust behind us, many Brits will be out of pocket and unable to afford those bigger buy-in events that the UK live circuit brings. But fear not, as Virgin are offering you the chance to play a deep stacked tournament for just £100, and what's best is that it all takes place in the comfort of the Broadway Casino in Birmingham, one of the UK's finest venues.
This November, Virgin's online festival commences, with the Main Event being a highly affordable £100+5 No Limit Hold'Em Freezeout, scheduled to take place on Saturday 24th and Sunday 25th of November. Although just £100 in entry fee, the structure of the event won't be suffering, with a 10,000 starting stack and reported levels of 40 minutes. For just £100, only the likes of the APAT can compete with a structure as generous as that.
But it doesn't end there, according to my sources, a total of £5,000 will be added to the prizepool to beef up the spondoolies, and Virgin will also be including a selection of bounties with prizes ranging from a case of Virgin wine to a return flight to Vegas for the person who suffers the worst bad beat of the tournament. All-in all, if it's value you're after, then the Broadway in November is the place to be.
Uniquely, and perhaps reminiscent of the vastly successful Grosvenor Grand Prix, there is no direct buy-in to this event. Instead, each and every player has to qualify via an online satellite, of which can be accessed via 3 options:
(1) Winning a seat through satellites on Virgin ($2.50 daily to $23 weekly [1 live seat for every 10 player] or $11 super sats [1 live seat for every 21]).
(2) Promo week freerolls on Virgin (w/c 30th July).
(3) Through the blonde Virgin team challenge in August.
With bar promos, novelty events, low stake side comps and much much more, this an opportunity not to be missed for all poker nuts looking for a big return for such a small investment.
