Poker Stars look to help European Players

PokerStars Sunday Million tournament is the best tournament in online poker. Every week, over 6,000 players from all over the world compete for more than a million dollars in cash, including a first prize of over $150,000.

But the Sunday Million schedule (starting at 16:30 Eastern Time) can be hard on European players, who find themselves playing until dawn, or even missing their train to work on Monday morning. So PokerStars have created the "Sunday Warm-Up" - a tournament that starts at 12:45 PM Eastern Time (17:45 GMT, 18:45 CET). If you make the final table of the Warm-Up, it will be a late night, but you will still get some sleep, and be in good shape to tell everybody at work about your big win.

And now PokerStars are making your win bigger - they are guaranteeing a $350,000 prize pool in the Sunday Warm-Up, because they think their European friends should be able to play for a big prize pool without seeing the sun come up at the final table.

You can win your way into this tournament by playing any of Poker Stars regular Sunday Million satellites. Once the tournament finishes, simply unregister from the Sunday Million to get tournament dollars and then register to the Sunday Warm-Up and its $250,000 prize pool. It's that easy.

With the Sunday Warm-Up, the Million, and the Second Chance, you can have your pick of times - but the money is always great.

Good luck at PokerStars this Sunday and don't get rivered!

UltimateBet Spreads the Wealth with Bad Beat Jackpot Launch

A Bad Beat Jackpot is just like traditional Texas Hold’em Poker with an added jackpot component. In addition to rake, $0.50 is collected from qualifying hands and placed into a constantly growing pot until someone hits the jackpot.

Now, online poker players don’t have to be sitting at the table where the bad beat occurred to share in the prize money. That’s because all poker players seated at a Bad Beat table featuring the same limit and game type as where the bad beat occurred will walk away from their table with cash. For example, if the jackpot was hit at a 2/4 No Limit Hold’em poker table, all players playing 2/4 No Limit Hold’em Bad Beat Jackpot will share in the prize money.

When a poker player loses a hand with four 8s or anything better, 65% of the jackpot will be divided between Bad Beat Jackpot players (25% remains in the pot for the next jackpot and 10% is dedicated towards administrative fees). This fantastic promotion is running now at Ultimate Bet.

Nightly Bounties... On YOUR Head

Have you tried Ultimate Bet's latest Bounty Tournaments? They’re running bounties nightly and YOU'RE the target! There are three bounty tournaments nightly.

The Headhunter Challenge at DTD Poker

The Headhunter Challenge is a new type of multi-table tournament at DTD Poker where a player truly becomes a hunter and wins cash for every player they eliminate. A portion of every buy-in is assigned to players' "Heads".

Anyone who knocks a player out of the tournament will receive cash. The more players someone eliminates, the more cash they win – and the bigger a target they become – as the value of their own head increases with every head they take!

Standard Settings
Prize pool 50% heads/50% pool
Starting head pricing 50% HH rating/50% flat
Head prizes 75% cash/25% head increase

All players who enter a Headhunter tournament at DTDPoker pay the same buy-in + entry fee. The prize pool is then divided, with a portion being allocated to heads, and the rest going towards the standard prize pool. Although it's configurable, the standard Headhunter tournament will award 50% of the prize pool based upon heads that are knocked out and 50% as the regular prize pool.
