Down to Three in the Main Event Skrill Last Longer Competition
The Skrill Last Longer competition has been being held at each stop on this season’s EPT Main Events, of which they’re an official sponsor.
Over at the Main Event final table, just three Skrillees remain in the race in Malte Moennig, Antonio Buonanno, and Jack Salter. For updates from that tournament, click here.
The promotion is simple – players sign up for the promotion either online (preregistration is available) or at the Skrill booth (which will be present at each stop); don a Skrill patch; and then aim to be the last man or woman standing. The last player remaining will then receive their buy-in back via their Skrill account.
It's the last stop of Season 10, and that means it's the last Skill Last Longer competition of the season. On Day 1a, 214 players took their shot at poker glory on Day 1a, and of them 31 players participated in the contest, which was 14% of the field. Day 1b saw 41 players register, which was 10% of that starting field.
While Skrill upped the ante for Season 10 with a bigger branding initiative, it wasn't their first appearance on the EPT; as a matter of fact, they were a sponsor of Season 8 and have held previous “Last Longer” promotions.
