The PokerNews-exclusive 7 Weekend Wonders promotion continued this past weekend on Poker770 as the top 20 finishers walked away with a share of $1,500. Will you be walking away with some free cash this week?

Everyone loves to be rewarded, which is the concept behind the PokerNews-exclusive 7 Weekend Wonders promotion on Poker770. Each week, $1,500 is given away to the top 20 770Points earners.

This past weekend, “GameOfThrone” walked away with the top prize of $225, beating out “armando47,” who was coming out of third and second-place finishes in the first two weeks of the promotion.

Here’s a look at the top 20 finishers for Week #3 (Chichen Itza) of the 7 Weekend Wonders promotion:

The qualification period of Week #4 (Colosseum), between midnight on June 15 and 00:59 GMT on June 11, is right around the corner, so if you want to see your name on the winner’s list you best be prepared to earn some points.

All you need to do to qualify is 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 x 770Points is easy as you will earn 20 x 770Points per $1 generated in rake at the cash game tables and 22 x 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 then do not 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

What makes this promotion even more special is the fact you will only be playing against players who have signed up to Poker770 through PokerNews. 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:
