The PokerNews-exclusive 7 Weekend Wonders promotion restarted last weekend on Poker770 and the top 20 finishers walked away with a share of $1,500. Who scooped the top prize? Was it you? Let’s find out.

This week’s top prize of $225 in cold, hard cash went to “SamSavage.” Not a bad little bonus for a couple of days grinding online poker. We’re sure you’ll agree. “SamSavage” held off “loliiilol” ($175), who for the second time in two weeks finished as runner-up. If we were betting people, we would put money on “loliiilol” pushing even harder this week and adding to the $350 he has already won in this promotion.

Making up the top five places were “cash77077,” “Roth89″ and “Leviselvis.”

Here’s a look at the top 20 finishers for Week #2 (Machu Picchu) of the 7 Weekend Wonders promotion:

The qualification period of Week #3 (Chichen Itza), runs from midnight on Aug. 10 and 00:59 CEST on Aug. 13, and we have another $1,500 to give away to the top 20 770Points earners during that period.

All you need to qualify for the second of our seven races is to earn 100 770Points during the qualification periods (all of which occur on the weekend) and you’ll have a shot at your share of a $1,500 prize pool. Earning 100 770Points is easy as you will earn 20 770Points per $1 generated in rake at the cash-game tables and 22 770Points per $1 paid in tournament fees, meaning $5 worth of rake or tournament fees will be enough to qualify for each weekend’s promotion.

If you are not eligible for this week’s race, don’t worry because there are still plenty of weeks to go on this excellent promotion as you can see in the table below:

Full 7 Weekend Wonders Schedule

This is a promotion that is exclusive to PokerNews. You will only be playing against players who have signed up to Poker770 through PokerNews so the number of players you will be battling against is far less than you would expect if it were a network-wide promotion. What’s more, you can also take advantage of our exclusive free $50 bankroll promotion. If you’ve already signed up for Poker770 through PokerNews using any of our bonus codes and have made your first deposit before midnight on the Wednesday before the current weekend then you’re already eligible for the 7 Weekend Wonders.

The weekly $1,500 prize pools will be distributed as shown in the table below:
