Ladbrokes-One Billionth Hand Celebration
Posted on 7 June 2008 at 3:18 pm EDT by mrickett | Permalink
To celebrate their 1,000,000,000th hand, Ladbrokes is hosting an event called the Billionth Hand Freeroll, advertised as the world’s biggest ever freeroll, Ladbrokes will be giving away $300,000 of WSOP packages to be won! That’s right, the top 20 players will get the chance to join Team Ladbrokes at the world’s largest tournament by winning a $14,000 Ladbrokes WSOP Package. In addition, 200 runners up will get a second chance to join Team Ladbrokes at this year’s WSOP by winning $109 Ladbrokes WSOP Daily Final seats.
It’s easy to take part in this tournament. All players need to do is earn 50 Player Points ON the day that the Billionth hand is dealt, and they will automatically be invited to enter this tournament. The tournament will be held on the first Saturday that is at least 48 hours after the Billionth Hand is dealt. Accumulating 50 Player Points is probably easier than you may think! Simply rake $2 on fixed limit tables, $2.50 on no limit tables, or pay $2.50 in tournament fees and you’ll be a qualifier for this one of a kind event!
This milestone will surely be reached in June, so be sure to log on regularly to ensure your chance at qualifying for the event. There are a couple vital points to be aware of. This Billionth Hand freeroll is capped at 6,000 players and registration is held on a first come first serve basis. If you receive an invite for this tournament be sure to get in on it early on before your spot is snatched up! Also, if you’d rather not accept the $14,000 WSOP package, you can opt out and receive a cash alternative of $7,000.
Good luck to everyone who plays!
