The PokerNews-exclusive 7 Weekend Wonders promotion on Poker770 continued last week where it headed to the Colosseum. The top 20 finishers walked away with a share of $1,500 – were you one of them?

Week #4′s top prize of $225 went to “StrixNebulosa,” who you may recall also won last week’s race, too! Not only is this an amazing result for “StrixNebulosa,” but it also means they are on for an unprecedented hat-trick of 7 Weekend Wonders titles.

“StrixNebulosa” edged out “MijnsterA” for the top prize, but this week’s runner-up still walked away with a bankroll-boosting $175. Rounding out the top five places were “Milan08,” “Skokan75,” and “Roth89.”

Here’s a look at the top 20 finishers for Week #4 (Colosseum) of the 7 Weekend Wonders promotion:

If you want to participate in the Week #5 (Taj Mahal), the qualification period runs from midnight on Aug. 24 and 00:59 CEST on Aug. 27, 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 fifth of our seven races is earn at least 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 because you will earn 20 770Points per $1 generated in rake at the cash-game tables and 22 770 Points per $1 paid in tournament fees, meaning $5 worth of rake or tournament fees will be enough to qualify for each weekend’s promotion.

Remaining 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.

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