April $80,000 Knock ‘em Down Poker Race at RedKings

Bet123 — Wed, 30 Mar 2011 10:50:42 +0000

Starting April 1st RedKings.com launches a new ultimate Points race experience.

Worth $80,000 this innovative Race pays out the top players who manage to stay in the Leaderboard for 5 consecutive days. The other major difference from all other point races is that players can start any day of month and then having completed the challenge of staying for 5 days they can start again and win again.

Commented David Simeon, RedKings VIP Manager, “Banned from RedKings are the boring month long races with the majority of players unable to participate because they joined in too late. At RedKings you can start this Race any day of the Month and race for 5 days at a time”

The key features of this $80,000 Points race include:

players can enter whenever they want and how many times they want
they must stay in the Leaderboard for 5 consecutive days
the higher a player gets on the chart the more money they will earn
Players win from each position they achieve whether they go up or down in the 5 days
Once completing 5 consecutive days players can start another 5 day challenge again

Added Simeon, “at RedKings we have now found the right formula for all future Poker Races and it’s called Knock ‘em down. We are putting $80,000 up to prove we are right. I know our players will love it and I call on all poker players to come and try it out for themselves”

RedKings also has a number of other promotions in April. For the smaller and mid stakes players they have the Point per Day Race which is now in its 15th month, there is Tournament Thursday the race that pays out in GSOP Live Satellite tickets and various Hand Race challenges throughout the month. Oh yes and of course the special bonus just for getting Pocket Red Kings.

Kevin Schaffel and Joe Cada are out at 12/1 with most bookies (including bet 365 and William Hill), whilst Antoine Saout and James Akenhead (who has less than $7m in chips going into the final) bring up the rear with odds of up to 20/1 available on them winning the 2009 World Series of Poker with VC Bet and Betfair.
