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.

Download Poker770 now and take part in the PokerNews $15,000 Xmas Tournament and you could really make it a Christmas you will never forget!

The $15,000 Xmas Tournament on Poker770 takes place on Dec. 23 at 2000 CET and is exclusive to PokerNews players.

Celebrate Christmas at Poker770

Most tournaments that carry a $15,000 guarantee on them usually have a large buy-in attached to them but not the $15,000 Xmas Tournament on Poker770.

This exclusive PokerNews tournament only costs $7.70 to enter and although rebuys are available they are being capped at 10 per player, plus one add-on at the break, so that players of all bankrolls can have a realistic chance of scooping some of the $15,000 prize pool!

Although the tournament will be capped at 3,000 players we do not envisage anywhere near that to register, which means just like the previous two events PokerNews held on Poker770 there should be amazing value and almost certainly an overlay in the $15,000 Xmas Tournament.

Thanks to PokerNews, you can take your share of the giant prize pool after qualifying for free!

Qualify for Free

Each week several freeroll tournaments will be held, including two weekly freeroll tournaments taking place every Tuesday and Saturday which are specifically for Australian players. There are also daily cheap-roll satellites with $0.77+$.07 buy-ins, which guarantee 10 seats into the $15,000 Xmas Tournament. Can you imagine being able to turn your $0.77+$0.07 into a four-figure score just before Christmas? What a tremendous present that would be!

PokerNews $15K Xmas Satellite
Monday through Sunday at 1700 CET – 5 seats guaranteed; Minimum of 10 players to start.

PokerNews $15K Xmas Satellite for Australian Players
Tuesdays and Saturdays at 1100 CET – 5 seats guaranteed; minimum of 10 players to start.
