Of the many traditions carried over from the now-defunct Bodog Poker to the newly launched Bovada Poker is the monthly King of the Felt promotion.
In Bovada Poker’s King of the Felt promotion, as with the original of the Bodog Poker era, players who place in any Sit and Go tourneys at the site earn a chance for a $1,000 prize in a heads-up battle, as well as $2,500 per week in freeroll tourneys. Eligible players must place (that’s finish in 1st or 2nd) and receive payment from three Bovada Poker sit and go tourneys in a week’s time. That will earn you entry into a weekly drawing for the chance to play heads-up against the current king and win the $1,000 prize. Place in any more sit and gos than that and earn seats in the $2,500 worth of King of the Felt freeroll tourneys. The reigning King of the Felt will play heads-up matches against the contender who wins the raffle drawing each week until, ultimately, unseated, each time winning the $1,000 prize. If a Bovada Poker King of the Felt can win 10 of these heads-up matches in a row, then in addition to the $10,000 in cash that will have won him, he’ll also win a seat in the 2012 World Series of Poker Main Event.
The more times you qualify for an entry in any given week’s contest, the more entries you earn. Each week’s King of the Felt drawing is held at Bovada Poker on the Monday following it.
