Take to the felt in the $10,000 PokerStars PokerNews League before it’s too late!

The top three places on the $10,000 PokerStars PokerNews League leaderboard have started to tighten up as the last three weeks are closing in.

“Kanabal18″ is still out in front after an impressive few weeks but the consistent form of ”AJEI” has seen him skyrocket up the leaderboard to sit only a few points behind first place.

Last week’s league event was taken down by ”AJEI” and he received 21 points for taking down the $3+0.30 turbo event. ”AJEI” also received the lion’s share of a free added prize pool.

It may seem like it is too late to catch “Kanabal18,” but his 64 points came after taking part in just three league events, and with three more events remaining in the league, it’s definitely possible for you to make your dream a reality.

If you would like to win a share of $10,000, why not download Unibet Poker and take part in the Unibet Size Does Matter promotion!

Start taking part in the Unibet Size Does Matter promotion. It could be the easiest cash you’ve made all year.

The promotion takes place now through until Dec. 15 and is a fun new initiative where players can win a seat to a freeroll with a unique format.

The difference between this promotion and all others is the format of the freeroll. The starting stacks for each player will be dependent on the amount VIP points accumulated during the promotion period.

Size Does Matter

The $10,000 freeroll is set for Dec. 18th at 18:00 GMT and each participant’s starting stack will be determined by how many VIP points that were earned during the period as outlined above.

This unique system allows players of all bankrolls and play volumes a chance at taking part in massive freeroll which will award $10,000 to our players!

How the Stacks are Awarded

Each player will be awarded a starting stack of 100 chips for every 100 VIP points which were earned during the promotion period. Players are encouraged to earn as many VIP points as they can in order to accumulate the maximum of 3,000 starting chips.

In order to qualify for the event, players need to earn a minimum of 100 VIP points. This means any player who earns 100 VIP will be awarded a seat into the Unibet Size Does Matter freeroll!

See below for an example of how many chips you can start the freeroll with, depending on how many VIP Points you manage to earn.

Size Does Matter Final Starting Stack Amounts

• 100-199 VIP Points: 100-chip starting stack.
• 200-299 VIP Points: 200-chip starting stack.
• 300-399 VIP Points: 300-chip starting stack.
• 400-499 VIP Points: 400-chip starting stack.
• 500-599 VIP Points: 500-chip starting stack
• Above pattern continues in 100 chip increments until…
• 3000+ VIP Points: 3,000-chip starting stack!

The freeroll will be played as a deep-stack freezeout tournament and is sure to give players plenty of time to play, regardless of how many starting chips they managed to accumulate. Earning VIP points is really easy, so there are no excuses to not take to the felt.

The top 20 percent of finishers in the freeroll will earn the biggest share of the $10,000 prize pool, all thanks to PokerNews and Unibet Poker!
