$25K Leaderboard and Freeroll Tickets to Play for in WPT Global’s Kings of Cash
We could be forgiven, especially with the nosebleed level of prize money paid out day after day, for thinking that real money online poker is all about tournaments and that nobody plays anything else. However, that would be quite incorrect, as there are many poker fans around the world who favour Texas Hold'em and Omaha cash games. Indeed, these players make a vital contribution to the online poker ecosystem, so deserve every promotion that poker rooms create for them.
It’s with these poker players in mind that WPT Global came up with the fittingly named Kings of Cash. There’s a Leaderboard which features over $25,000 in cash and prizes every week, as well as a ticket to the weekly Kings of Cash Freeroll to aim for.
Kings of Cash: How It Works
It couldn’t be simpler! For every 100 hands you play each day, you’ll earn a Kings of Cash ticket. Additionally, playing 100 hands on more than one day per week is enough to be awarded tickets for the Ironman competition (see table, below). And the more you play at higher stakes, the more tickets you can rack up for a special random draw competition, the top 50 winners being posted on the official @WPT_Global Twitter page.
Ironman Bonuses
| Days with 100 hands played | Micro: $0.02/0.05/0.1 or lower ($0.5 or lower Short Deck) | Stakes: $0.5/1 - $2/4/8 ($1 - $2 ante Short Deck) | Stakes: $5/10/20 or bigger ($5 or bigger Short Deck) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | 5 | 10 | 25 |
| 3 | 10 | 20 | 50 |
| 4 | 25 | 50 | 125 |
| 5 | 50 | 100 | 250 |
| 6 | 100 | 200 | 500 |
| 7 | 200 | 600 | 2000 |
As for the Kings of Cash Freeroll, there’s a further $4,500 in prizes to fight for in this weekly freezeout tournament.
It’s a nice sign of the times that, although WPT Global was set up only last year as the online platform for the mighty World Poker Tour (WPT), the veritable newcomer has already established itself as a champion of the legion of recreational players who are primarily cash game players. Moreover, by including Freeroll tournament tickets among the prizes on offer, the player-friendly poker room gives cash players who might not ordinarily venture into tournaments an easy opportunity to do so.
