PaddyPower Poker announced today that they will be beginning the third edition of one of their most popular promotion campaigns beginning on January 18th.
Back by popular demand, Paddy Power’s “Back That Ace Up III: Back With A Vengeance” will start its four week run beginning at midnight on January 18th. The promotion, which hands out money to the top fifty weekly players on the cash tables at the site, has also doubled the bounty that will be divvied up between those who qualify. Instead of the original $5000 per week that has been handed out in the past, there is now more than $10,000 available weekly for PaddyPower Poker players to fight it out over.
The top prize is $1,100 in cash, with even tenth place on the weekly leader board earning a respectable $275. Even if you reach down into the lower echelons of the top fifty (31st-40th and 41st-50th), you can still earn $50 (31st-40th) or a satellite token (41st-50th) into PaddyPower Poker’s tournaments.
There are four time periods in which PaddyPower Poker’s players will have an opportunity to take down some extra cash. January 19-25, January 26-February 1, February 2-8 and February 9-15 are the breakdowns, giving any player the time to target a particular segment and take their shot at PaddyPower’s bonus money. The promotion is open to all PaddyPower Poker players and their position on the leader board will be determined by the amount of hands played, the table stakes and the time players spend on the tables.
“The Back That Ace Up promotion has been proven a great success, our players have clamored for more and we’ve decided to deliver!” said Eric Booth, the head of the Poker Department at paddypowerpoker.com.
“We are doubling the amount on offer each week and the top player will see their bankroll boosted by over a grand. With all the free cash that is available, we expect players to log onto paddypowerpoker.com and be prepared to ‘Back That Ace Up’ onto the poker tables!”
PaddyPower Poker is one of the preeminent rooms in Europe, offering full service gaming activities including a sports book, casino and poker. While those in the United States cannot participate in the action, the site continues to be at the forefront of poker on the European continent. Through offering some of the best online tournaments around and their continued sponsorship of live events, PaddyPower Poker is establishing the benchmark that other rooms have to compete with.
On March 8th, 2009, PaddyPower Poker will be presenting a $2.5 Million Guaranteed tournament that should draw some of the best players in Europe. With a buy in of $1500 plus juice, some players may shy away from the action, but PaddyPower Poker is offering an array of satellites that will allow players to get into the game for as little as a dollar.
In April, PaddyPower Poker will once again sponsor the Irish Open, one of the oldest championships in European poker, at Citywest Hotel in Dublin, Ireland from April 9th through the 13th. In addition to the €3,500 Main Event, there will also be a Pot Limit Omaha rebuy tournament, a €1,500, two day No Limit Texas Hold‘em tournament, a Ladies Tournament and a charity event to benefit Our Lady’s Children’s Hospital in Dublin. PaddyPower Poker is offering satellites for this tournament schedule and also has its €100,000 “Sole Survivor” Irish Open program running at this time.
