Download Carbon Poker to take part in the exclusive 15K Carbon League which kicks off on Tuesday October 11 and culminates in the Big Final on January 8, 2012.
The 15K Carbon League is set to be one of the best value tournament series on offer towards the end of this year. Not only will players have the opportunity to win cash prizes in a range of weekly tournaments, but players will also accumulate league points throughout the series which will go toward qualifying for the final event which features a massive $10,200 prize pool thanks to Carbon Poker and PokerNews.
15K Carbon League
There will be three types of tournaments on offer during the league period, with two weekly cash buy-in events and a slew of freerolls featuring only a 50 Carbon VIP point buy-in, ensuring every player has a chance to accumulate enough points to make their way to the Big Final in January.

Accumulate League Points
While the weekly Carbon League tournaments feature tremendous value on their own merit, players will have their eyes set on accumulating enough league points to qualify for the Big Final in January and claiming their share of the $10,200 added prize pool.

Just one league event remains in our PokerNews $125,000 EPIC League, but thankfully new players can still make it into the final. How? The final event is for double points. Taking place on August 25 at 1800 GMT, you can win up to 100 league points in just one event.
This is more than enough to sneak into the EPIC League Final on August 28 at 1800 GMT. In the Final, the top 50 league finishers will fight it out for a $2,500 Everest Poker International Cup (EPIC) package, which includes $1,500 buy-in, $575 accommodation, and $425 for travel expenses. The next 15 players will all win tokens to play in a $25,000 direct-entry tournament on August 29 where a further ten EPIC packages can be won on Everest Poker.
The final league event costs 25 Summit Points to enter, and is for league points only.
To play in the final league event, you will need an Everest Poker account. Make sure you sign up through PokerNews for a $600 first deposit bonus when you use bonus code “PNEWS600” or a $700 first deposit bonus when you use bonus code “PNEWS700.” This promotion is open to all Everest Poker players, regardless of whether they signed up through PokerNews or not.
