The LEOCOP IV, Europe's Longest running and biggest added money online poker tournament is back and you can start qualifying now for the unmissable 15 day long festival for as little as $1 in a weekly schedule of satellites feeding into the LEOCOP championship events. Games will include no limit, fixed, pot limit, Texas Hold'em, pot limit Omaha and pot limit Omaha Hi-Lo with a mixture of freezeout and rebuy structures with money added to each tournament from $2500 to $250,000.

The festival which in total exceeds $500,000 added, will run from the 26th of October until the 9th November culminating in the $1000+100 LEOCOP main event (with $250,000 added) on Sun 9th November! This year Ladbrokes will also be running a leader board with over $14,000 in prize money for the top ten players featured and an invitation to the top 80 in the table to play in the $120,000 LEOCOP IV Masters Events freeroll (22nd November) where the first prize is a place in the semi final of Poker Million VII and a guaranteed payday of at least $20,000!

Edward Ihre MD of Ladbrokes Poker said: "As you know, we put a lot of emphasis on the importance of community and the LEOCOP (Ladbrokes European Online Championship of Poker) is like our annual family gathering. It's the one time you can guarantee that everyone will make an appearance.  It's a chance to catch up with friends and acquaintances, learn from the old school and, as Grazza (Graeme Newman) demonstrated in 2006 when he won the main event, sometimes its a rare opportunity to teach an old dog a trick or two and perhaps pick up the massive cheque at the end of it all! Of course the kudos and the massive prize pools are also very good reasons that players Europe-wide play this fantastic event!"

Satellites start from as little as $1 and are available now. Please check the poker lobby for full details or click here to read more.
