2009 King of the Hill #2 this Friday

WA Poker League Presents

Date - Friday 3rd July, 2009.

Time - Registration 6-6:45pm, Cash Tables and Sit n Goes from 6pm

 Tournament Start 7pm

Cost - $40 buy-in (Standard Pro Payouts with Pro Ladder Points!)

Location - Claremont Football Club, Davies Rd, Claremont. Remember, the club is close to public transport, and has great club prices, but has NO food available!     If you're driving, there's lots of parking available too!

Pre-Event Ticket Sales - At events leading up to the King of the Hill, ask your Tournament Director to get pre-registered at your next event! Limited - 40 seats.

Please make a point of Pre-registering if you are coming to this event. After the huge response to our King of the Hill events, there's no knowing how many people will show up!

There will be a PRE-REGISTRATION prize draw on the night, where all pre-registrered players have a chance to win the prize, so now there's even more incentive to get pre-registered!

Details - This is a tournament variation we have designed and called King of the Hill. We hope you enjoy it!

• Each player starts the tournament with equal chips, and a "Crown". If you lose your chips, you lose your crown but have a "life" rebuy to continue in the tournament.
• If a player with a crown takes out another player with a crown, the losing player's crown is removed from the tournament.
• If a player without a crown takes out a player with a crown, they get the crown and therefore have another "life" should they get knocked out.

The winners are the last 3 players with crowns remaining in the tournament, and the overall winner will be crowned "King of the Hill"! The King of the Hill takes 50% of the prize pool, 2nd 30%, 3rd 20%! (75% entry total to Prize Pool, 25% to Club Fundraising).

 There will be Cash Tables and both small and big buy-in Sit n Go    tournaments running, so this is definitely a tournament not to miss!

This event is open to current WA Poker League members and/or members of Claremont Football Club. There is NO necessity to play in the event to take part in the Cash Tables and Sit n Goes.

Claremonts Free League Tournament is Still on - 7pm Start!

Heads Up Tournament! - Next Friday 10th July 

Other important tournament notes -

• The "rebuy" for losing a crown is either 1500 in chips OR 2x the current big blind, whichever is greater. (Big blind based on the hand in which they went out in)
• If a crowned player is taken out in a hand with more than one uncrowned player splitting the pot, the uncrowned player with MORE chips takes the crown. If they had identical stacks, the crown goes to the player left of button (worst position relative to the dealer)
• If a crowned player is taken out in a hand with one uncrowned player splitting the pot with another crowned player, the uncrowned player takes the crown.
• If a shorter stacked uncrowned player is all-in in a hand vs multiple other players, which sees a higher stacked crowned player get knocked out by another player (either crowned or uncrowned), even if the short stacked uncrowned player wins their all-in, if they didn't have the crowned player's chips covered, they cannot claim the crown.
• To be eligible for a Crown rebuy, when getting out you MUST immediately raise your hand with the Crown and call over a staff member. If you try to hold off for the next blind change, etc, you will be disqualified from the tournament.

Unless altered above, all WAPL Pro League Rules apply to this tournament.

We look forward to seeing you at the King of the Hill event, and anticipate another great night of poker!

The event is a rebuy structure until first break (final add-ons at the end of 1st break) with $25 rebuys/addons ($20 to Prizes, $5 to SFFC) and every 10 rebuys ($200) adds another High Roll Seat to the Prizes! Total Prize Seats to the High Roll Event will be announced after 1st break, with the top placed players winning those seats (any extra prize pool <$200 cash will be paid to the "seat bubble" player who just misses out on a prize seat)

Freo High Roll - This tournament is the big one! $200 buy-in ($180 to Prize, $20 to SFFC) with huge prizes! You can buy your way directly into this tournament, or WIN your seat through a Freo Freeroll!

Other info - Seats are STRICTLY LIMITED. To be sure you have a seat, pre-register at one of our tournaments before the next freeroll for $25 (redeemable at the event for rebuy/addons) or be down very early to register on the Thursday!

Cash Tables and Sit N Goes will be running all night, so for those who miss out on a seat (or prefer cash/sit n goes), come along!

We're sure you'll have a blast at the Freo Freerolls and High Roll!
