£10k sponsorship deal up for grabs and more!
Ever thought about packing in your day job and becoming a professional poker player? Frankly, who hasn’t? To help get you into poker’s big leagues, UK site Ladbrokes has announced the brand new Grassroots promotion, offering 40 players £25k in buy-ins to prove their worth and one overall winner a £10,000 sponsorship deal with the site.
Qualification for this amazing prize will run between March and April on Ladbrokes.com, and whether your speciality is cash games, MTTs or sit-and-gos, there’s a route to suit you (see below).
Once all 40 seats have been nabbed, the lucky winners will be invited to a £100 live tournament in May, where the top seven placed finishers and seven ‘wild cards’ will move onto stage two – a £300 live event in June.
From there, the top four and four ‘wild cards’ will move onto a £500 freezeout in July, before the final four head to London this August for a whopping £1,000 freezeout plus the chance to win the £10,000 sponsorship deal and the honour of calling themselves a Ladbrokes pro.
Interested? Head to Ladbrokes.com. There you’ll find the full terms and conditions for winning the Grassroots promotion, details on how wild cards are picked and all the latest social media news from @ladbrokes_poker.
GOOD LUCK!
