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...
