King of the Felt: You Got What it Takes?
by Bodog Poker | Apr 26 2010
Now that Bodog Poker's Ultimate Sports Fan Experience promotion is over, you know that Bodog is going to come up with another unique promotion for their sit-and-go grinders. So for all you sit-and-go kings out there in Bodog Nation, here's your chance to show your skills and make a name, and serious bankroll, for yourself.
Bodog Poker has a new program geared for sit-and-go players called the
King of the Felt crown. Like the Ultimate Sports Fan Experience, the King of the Felt program will have weekly draws to determine who gets a shot at the crown. If they win their shot at the crown they will become the King of the Felt, and if their reign lasts long enough they will get a shot at a 2011 WSOP Main Event seat.
In order to get a shot at the title of King of the Felt players have to finish in the money in three sit-and-go tournaments within the calendar week from 12:00 AM Monday ET until 11:59 PM ET on Sunday. Players can qualify in any 6-45 player sit-and-go events, excluding beginner or double-up tournaments and heads-up action.
Bodog also has a rated system which allows you to get into the draw more than once if you surpass the required three cashes. Your name will go in once after three money finishes, twice after six money finishes, and three times if you can cash in nine or more sit-and-go tournaments within that week. Six cashes will also get you a free seat in a $1K freeroll tournament, and nine or more comes with an additional seat in a $500 freeroll.
Once you qualify you have a chance to win a shot at the title.
That lucky winner will get a chance to play a heads-up match against the reigning King of the Felt for a $1K prize and the title. Your reign will last for as long as you can continue to beat the next challenger.
If you can manage to put together a five-week win streak you will win an additional $2500, and if you are King of the Felt for 10 weeks or more you will get a chance to play a Bodog Pro heads-up for a 2011 WSOP Main Event Seat. The players with the longest win streaks will be posted on a
King of the Felt scoreboard.
Becoming King of the Felt will be tough for any player to achieve, but retaining the crown will be even tougher. If the King of the Felt is going to remain on the throne they will have to have skills at sit-and-go action and heads-up play.
All the sit-and-go specialists will have to hone their heads-up play if they want to rule the scoreboard, and all the heads-up grinders will need to put their sit-and-go talents to work to even get a chance at becoming the King of the Felt.
