Live your Poker Dream and join the Ladbrokes Team
For 2009, Ladbrokes Poker is taking a fresh approach to the traditional WSOP package.
This year, our aim is to give as many poker players as possible the opportunity to go to Las Vegas, be part of the World’s biggest poker event, compete in at least 3 Main Event satellites, enjoy the Vegas nightlife in true Ladbrokes style and hopefully deliver a Ladbrokes Poker winner for a second consecutive year.
Poker Rendezvous - Play Poker in Brighton
This Easter, Ladbrokes Poker will be staging the very first Ladbrokes Easter Rendezvous Festival to be held at the Rendezvous Casino. The Casino is located on the spectacular Brighton Marina www.brightonmarina.co.uk, where you can dine, shop, take in the sea air whilst taking part in a first-class poker tournament. Just a short ride away is Brighton town centre which is hip, cosmopolitan and relaxed all at the same time, making it the perfect location for your Easter break.
Make a weekend of it!
Skalie Deepstack:
At last! I have the chance to host my own tournament on Ladbrokes Poker. When asked what I wanted this to be - the answer was simple: A deepstack tournament with plenty of time to play it. Join me every week for skalie’s Sunday Deepstack.
The tournament is a NLHE freezeout with a $100+9 buy in and has a super structure that I hope everyone will enjoy playing. The tournament will start at 1600hrs (GMT) with regular satellites available during the week. Click here for a satellites schedule to skalie’s Sunday Deepstack.
The Sunday tournament can be found in the MTT/Special and MTT/All lobby.
The news doesn’t stop there as Ladbrokes Poker is adding some fantastic offline poker prizes giving you the chance to take your game into the “live” arena. You can join me on the GUKPT circuit later in the year pitting your wits against some of the great names in poker. There will be a league system where if you finish 1st (overall) you will win buy ins to three GUKPT events of your choice. See below for a breakdown of the added prizes awarded for skalie’s Sunday Deepstack.
For the first twelve weeks, points will be awarded for the top 20 finishers (in addition to the cash payout). The points will go towards the league that will be updated every Monday. Click here for a breakdown of how the points will be awarded.
What I like most about this tournament is that it’s on a Sunday – my favourite day. Watching sport on the tv and playing good poker – what more can you want? I have put together a structure that follows the majority of all major “live” poker tournaments. The idea is to not only provide a great game that provides value but also a structure and starting stack that prepares you for playing in some of the biggest tournaments on the poker circuit. Click here to see the complete structure for skalie’s Sunday Deepstack.
I hope you all enjoy this new tournament and if you have any questions or ideas, you can contact me at skalie@ladbrokespoker.com where I will do my best to answer.
Added Prizes
Skalie’s Deepstack offers fantastic value with Ladbrokes adding offline seats to the Grosvenor UK Poker Tour (GUKPT) where you will be hosted by Ladbrokes’ Jon Kalmar (skalie). The winners will be asked to nominate the GUKPT leg(s) of their choice. Prizes are for seats only and players are required to make their own travel and accommodation arrangements. Note – there are no cash alternatives in this promotion. In the event that a player cannot attend any of the GUKPT legs available in 2009, the prize will be awarded to the player finishing in the next position.
The breakdown of the prizes can be seen below.
- 1st $4,500 GUKPT Package (3 x GUKPT legs)
- 2nd $3,000 GUKPT Package (2 x GUKPT legs)
- 3rd $1,500 GUKPT Package (1 x GUKPT leg)
