Who Will Be February’s Carbon Poker Tourney King

Last Updated on


Yesterday, we told you about the weekly King of the Felt contest for SNG players at Bovada Poker. Today, we’d like to remind you of a similar contest for tournament players running monthly at Carbon Poker. It’s called the Tourney King promotion, and the crown comes with a first prize of up to $3,000 and a total prize pool of more than $20,000.

Carbon Poker offers two leaderboards with two sets of prizes in this contest, crowing two Tourney Kings at the end of each month instead of one. There is both a low-stakes and a high-stakes contest in this promotion, so that players of all bankrolls can participate. The low limit leaderboard is for tourneys with buy-ins of $0 – $19.99 while the high limit leaderboard is for tourneys with buy-ins of $20 and higher.

To participate in the Tourney King contest, play in as many tournaments at Carbon Poker as you can and perform in each of them as well as you can. Points are awarded based on a complex formula that accounts for the buy-in cost, number of entrants and a player’s final position in the tournament. Participants also get a bonus multiplier applied to their score for reaching the final table of a given tournament. To place on one of the Tourney King leaderboards, just be in the top 250 points earners at the end of the month.

With January nearing an end, it means a new Tourney King will soon be announced and a new Tourney King contest will start afresh with the coming of February.

Carbon Poker Offers Quad Pyramid Prize & 10% Fresh Start Bonus

Last Updated on

For a limited time, Carbon Poker is now offering a payout every time a player gets quad 5s (or four-of-a-kind 5s) on the flop. Whether or not that player wins the hand, he or she still wins a cash prize.

Both of your hole cards must be fives in order for you to claim this prize and only hands dealt in Texas Hold’em. If you qualify, copy down the hand number and then email it to the Carbon Poker support team at either quads@carbonpoker.ag or support@carbonpoker.ag.

The amount of the Quad Pyramid Prize a player receives depends on that player’s Tier in the Carbon Poker VIP club. Regular players get $5; Earth players get $10; Wind players get $15; Fire players get $20; Ether players get $30.

To find your winning hand after the fact, look it up in your hand history. Then either email the hand ID to the site or a screenshot of the quad fives on the flop and your hole cards.

Quad fives dealt at play money tables or during freeroll tournaments do not qualify for this bonus.

Also from Carbon Poker, to help players get a Fresh Start to the New Year the site is offering a 10% reload bonus up to a $30 maximum. Just use the bonus code: FRESHSTART when you make your qualifying deposit. This bonus is available until January 15, 2012 at 11:59 pm server time. Players must earn at least 30 times the bonus amount in VIP points in order to receive the bonus.

Carbon Poker Introduces $5K Value Added Tourneys for December

Last Updated on

Throughout this month of December 2011, Carbon Poker is holding a series of Value Added Tournaments, meaning that to whatever the prize pool amounts to based on registered player buy-ins, Carbon Poker will contribute an additional amount. In this case, that amount is $1,000. And with five of these such tournaments scheduled for December 2011, that makes for $5,000 in Value Added Tournaments.

In an interesting twist on the conventional tourney buy-in, to enter these tournaments you must pay a cash buy-in and earn a minimum of 250 VIP points. The cash part of the buy-ins decreases as the series progresses, with the December 10th tournament costing $10 + $1, the December 17th event costing $5 + $0.50, the December 24th, Christmas Eve, event costing $2 + $0.20, the December 25th, Christmas Day, event costing $1 + $0.10 and the December 31st, New Years Eve event costing $1 + $0.10 as well.

To earn VIP points, simply participate in real money cash ring games and tournaments at Carbon Poker. Every time a hand makes it to the flop, the players still in the hand at that time receive VIP points.

You must earn 250 additional VIP points for each successive Value Added Tournament you wish to enter beyond the first one. However, the VIP points you earn for the entry requirements for these Value Added Tournaments will not be deducted from your account once you enter the event. That means you may still utilize these VIP points for such benefits as guaranteed tournament entries, live seat satellite entries, to unlock bonuses and exchange for cash.
