WSOPC Cash Game Rings Promotion
While the winner of each of the 18 Ring Events earns one of poker’s most coveted prize, cash game players will also have the chance to compete for two WSOPC Cash Game Rings for the first time as well. This special cash game promotion takes place from May 1 until May 30 on the GGPoker Network. How exactly does it work?
The GGPN has an established tracking system for the daily leaderboards and it will be utilized to run a special competition during the month of May 2021. All players who take part in regular Hold’em or PLO/PLO-5 cash games will be eligible to have a shot at glory, the stakes don’t matter. The players with the highest weighted big blind scores during this period will receive an invite to the Final9 Final Table on June 5.
Only winning sessions will earn points towards the ranking and at least 50 hands have to be played. Up to 100 hands per session count and this specific time frame lasts from the moment you enter or leave a table. Losing sessions won’t result in negative points either! The weighted big blind is the number of big blinds the player wins throughout 100 hands over the course of a session.
Two SNG final tables will then take place at 6pm UTC on June 5 and each of the finalists has a cash prize of $300 locked up. The cash up for grabs goes up to $2,600 for the champion, who also receives the WSOPC Ring.
