The Vegas Or Bust promotion is yet another great opportunity for our members to qualify for the Bar Poker Open World Championship at the Golden Nugget – Las Vegas.
Multi-Flight Format
Whereas in previous years Vegas Or Bust awarded a seat into the Bar Poker Open World Championship each month, this year’s Vegas Or Bust promotion will use a multi-flight format which provides additional flexilbility for players who may not be able to attend an event that they’ve qualified for.
Each Day 1 event will be played as a qualifier.
The tournament will end when 20% of the field remains.
A league representative will record how many chips each player has. This is the players “bag” for Day 2.
Players may bag multiple times throughout the series.
The players largest bag will carry forward into Day 2. This is known as “best bag forward”.
Day 1 (Month)
How to qualify
To qualify, a player must earn a token or place in the points (top 20%) of any regular league game.
