RankingHero Marks UK Launch with Unibet Last Longer
Wednesday, 26 November 2014
One of poker's most popular social networks, RankingHero.com, is coming to the UK and is marking its launch in Blighty with a special giveaway at this week's Unibet Open at Aspers Casino in London.
In addition to a bumper guaranteed prize pool of €250,000, players donning a RankingHero.com patch can win their buy-in back via a special Last Longer Contest.
To get involved, all players need to do is sign up at RankingHero.com, accept their simple terms & conditions, and wear the logo. Hundreds of patches will be available and distributed at the Stratford venue by RankingHero's glamourous assistants with the last player standing set to scoop the prize.
The first of two Main Event opening days flights is off
at noon on Thursday with a second following at the same time on Friday. Players will receive a starting stack of 30,000 chips with the clock set at 60-minutes.
If the €1,000 buy-in is a bit tough on the bankroll, there are £50 satellites at Aspers at 2pm and 8pm today and at 8pm on Thursday.
In addition to the big main event, there's plenty of side action lined up including Open Face Chinese, Tilt Time Turbo and a £2,000 High Roller. A further £25,000 is guaranteed in the two-day £250 buy-in event which starts at 6pm on Saturday.
The last time London hosted the Unibet Open was in 2012, which saw high stakes cash player Pratik Ghatge storm past a field of 315 players, winning £85,050 for his efforts. We will be on hand to bring you full coverage of what is shaping up to be a top weekend.
