LEAGUES

Hmmm...

So Nigel won ANOTHER one on Friday...

Will our interim champ, Kev Hodkinson come back out of the mists to defend his title? Kev is the undisputed FREEZEOUT KING, winning an incredible 4 in a row, back when the fields were 30+ and now Nigel has emerged from nowhere as King of the league format.

I've seen Nigel sit for hours waiting patiently for the right spot to pick-up chips and before you know it, he's back from the short stack and winning a tournament...

He's top of the league chasing the $5000 package to next year's World Series of Poker and has already picked-up enough points to guarantee a seat at the SUMMER SERIES £1000 final table.

With three heats left (out of 5) Nigel is joined by Lord Whipp, Dougie and Ewan as guaranteed finalists for the £1000.

See the league tables in the side panel >>>

If you haven't played in the WSOP LEAGUE yet, you are crazy...

The league is running over 20 tournaments (HEAT 4 is today at 5pm) and at each event, the top ten players pick-up league points - 10 points for 1st place down to 1 point for 10th - not to mention 90% or so of the cash prizepool at each event.

At the end of the 20 tournaments, the top ten players on the leaderboard will play a freezeout to win a $5000 package to next year's WSOP. So that's the $1500 entry into the WSOP Bracelet Event of the winner's choice, flights to Vegas and Hotel... maybe even a few strippers!

The starting stacks for the final ten will depend on their points... 1 point = 1000 chips.

Sundays are awesome for the regulars as the small field means you only have to turn up to win a point! Friday players need to start defending their points if they want a serious shot at that $5000 package.

Anyway, today we are piloting TWO TOURNAMENTS on a Sunday.

That means if you can't make the 5pm WSOP LEAGUE TOURNAMENT, you can rock up for the 8pm £20 Re-buy Tournament!

Next Sunday will be the regular WSOP LEAGUE at 5pm followed by a £50 FREEZEOUT at 8pm.

See you at the tables...

2 TOURNAMENTS ON SUNDAYS

Yep,

If 5pm is too early for you, or you bust out of the Pomme madness before the final table, come and get your tournament fix at 8pm at CLUB 72.

We'll keep running the 5pm WSOP LEAGUE HEATS for the regulars and then at 8pm we'll start a freezeout or re-buy tournament with 20 minute blinds.

This week we will run a £20 re-buy tournament Sunday night from 8pm. Registration is from 5pm.

If you want to play cash, we'll run a table as soon as enough players are ready.

SPRING SERIES CHAMP & SUMMER SCHEDULE

NIGEL HOLLIDAY is the FHP SPRING SERIES CHAMPION!!!

Well done, Nigel.

Nigel bust onto the scene part-way through the Spring Series, recorded a few final table appearances and actually started out the £1000 final table as one of the short stacks with only 9000 chips.

Fair play, he's a player to watch out for and is clearly dangerous even without a lot of chips... take heed!

FHP SUMMER SERIES IS HERE!!!

Yep, no hanging around, this Friday is HEAT ONE of the FHP SUMMER SERIES from 7pm.

Every other Friday will be one of the FIVE heats in our regular £20 re-buy format with £1000 final table.

See the side panel for schedule >>>>

WORLD SERIES OF POKER BRACELET LEAGUE

Fancy playing for a WSOP bracelet in one of the side events at 2010's World Series of Poker?

Every other Friday and Every Sunday we will be running heats for one lucky Club 72 member to win a $5000 package, which includes tournament entry to the $1500 event of the winner's choice plus flights and hotels in Vegas!!!

The Friday tournaments will be £20 re-buy and the Sunday tournaments £40 re-buy. We will hold back £250 from each tournament and pay the rest out on the night. The top 4-5 players at each heat will take down the prizepool and the top ten finishers will earn league points.

After 20 tournaments, the top ten players in the league will fight it out for the $5000 package and like the FHP Series, will start with chip stacks depending upon their points.
