Play Poker with 'Spraggy' and Win Entries to the Sunday Million!
Join the all-new Oddschecker Poker League and play poker Fridays and Sundays to win entries to the legendary Sunday Million!
After the success of the first two special online events organised earlier this month, our sister site Oddschecker decided to bring the action to an entirely new level with the launch of the first-ever Oddschecker Poker League.
With the first event set to kick off today, April 24, at 7 pm (BST) on PokerStars, the league will keep you busy every Friday and Saturday night until May 17.
That day, the leaderboard will show who are the best players and distribute lots of great prizes.
Each tournament features a $5.50 buy-in entry fee with $500 be added to each event's prize pool by PokerStars.
Also, in each Sunday tournament, PokerStars pro player 'Spraggy' will join the action and stream the Oddschecker Poker League live from his Twitch channel and from PokerNews.
Spraggy's participation comes with a T$55 bounty on his head every week, so if you manage to knock him out it won’t just be pride you take away.
Here's how you can join the action and challenge Spraggy on PokerStars:
- Log into your PokerStars account (or open a free one here)
- Go to the 'Tournaments' section and search for 'Oddschecker'
- Use the password ODDSCHECKER to register
What Can You Win?
There's a lot to take home from this league, especially if you are a tournament player.
With three entries to the legendary Sunday Million on PokerStars and lots of other tournament tickets, the Oddschecker Poker League is a fun event that could lead to some other exciting experiences.
Here's a full list of the prizes up for grabs:
- 1st – 2 x Sunday Million Tokens (Value $218)
- 2nd – 1 x Sunday Million Token (Value $109)
- 3rd – 1 x $55 Tournament Token
- 4th – 1 x $22 Tournament Token
- 5th – 1 x $22 Tournament Token
- 6th – 1 x $22 Tournament Token
- 7th – 1 x $11 Tournament Token
- 8th – 1 x $11 Tournament Token
- 9th – 1 x $11 Tournament Token
- 10th – 1 x $11 Tournament Token
This password-protected tournament series is sure to attract a lot of new players — meaning the field is going to be softer than the one you'd usually expect from a PokerNews event.
Will there be donk bets? Sure. Will you have to witness painful and pointless shoves? No doubt.
But that's the beauty of playing in low buy-in events such as this one.
If you know how to wait for the right moment to switch gears, you can find yourself a few levels into the tournament with a lot more chips than your opponents.
