Battle of the Bloggers Freeroll
Poker bloggers ahve been getting together on the internet to take each other's money for years. The beginnings of these take-your-friends-bankrolls tourneys started with private tournaments at places like Pacific Poker, Paradise Poker, and PokerStars. To ensure the sites didn't mind our presence we gladly donked away at the micro limit and no limit cash games afterwards for further hijinks.
These games faded with time but low grumblings about how we should get together like old times finally surfaced with the Battle of the Bloggers Tournaments challenge that spanned several weekly tourneys that bloggers already played into a points accrued tally sheet for placing in the top 50% of each tourney. Sponsored by Full Tilt which agreeed to host all of our degenerate fun, made the tourneys rake free by awarding the rake of all the events, half to the top three point achievers and half to a freeroll for those in the top 50 points awarded.
A big thanks goes out to the organizer AlCantHang, the weekly tourney hosts Mookie, Hoyazo, and Miami Don's Big Game.
Poker on a Mac came thru in a big way as well, the fourth and fifth place overall finishers will be testing their gaming skills while playing on a new Wii and Nintendo DS system respectively.
Tonight is the freeroll for those who played, and did well enough to place in the top 50 out of 316 bloggers that participated. 10pm EST will mark the beginning of the freeroll to award nearly $2,000 back to the tourney series participants that qualifed. Drop by to cheer on your favorite blogger(s) tonight at Full Tilt!!
