- Play in a second chance turbo heat if they place second in their heat to win a place in the semi-finals
For the first time ever, from August – November, viewers/Ladbrokes Poker players will have the opportunity to win a fast track $120,000 seat into the Poker Million semi finals. Ladbrokes Poker is running 120 on-line ‘Freerolls’ while the tournament is broadcast on TV! So if you haven’t already qualified now’s your chance! Ladbrokes Poker will once again be adding $500,000 in prize money with the first prize being a whopping $1,000,000. 16 players will be paid.
While the other Poker Million VII contestants' route to the semi final will be by winning one of the twelve, six seater heats, the lucky winner of the Ladbrokes Poker ‘Chase the Chair’ promotion will super satellite their way into one of the two eight seater semi-finals.
Another exciting twist to the format, will see players that fall one short of first in any of the twelve heats get another chance to duke it out in one of two ‘Second Chance’ turbo STTs for a place in the semi-finals.
