Genting Stanley’s latest online offering CircusCasino.com has launched a no-limit hold’em tournament which is believed to be the first of its kind in the UK.
The £100,000 guaranteed “Second Chance” tournament will see players, who do not qualify in live tournaments, get a second shot at the final in an online qualifier. Likewise, those who buy into an online event and do not win, will get another chance in a future online tournament.
This gives players two shots at the final which will take place in the Circus Casino at Star City, Birmingham from October 30 to November 2. If all else fails, players can buy in to the event directly for £550.
Through this format, CircusCasino.com will engage with players from 40 participating land-based casinos under its national Circus, Mint, and Maxims brands.
Peter Nolan, Managing Director Online, said, “We have created a unique tournament which allows us to offer both offline and online players a free, second chance to reach the £100,000 final. We don’t believe this format has been tried before, and it is a great way of showcasing both sides of our business by allowing players a free opportunity to play on our new CircusPoker.co.uk platform.”
Registration for the tournament opens at 8 p.m. on Monday, July 28, with the qualifier taking place on August 4 at 8 p.m. The second chance format will then run every following Monday at 8 p.m. (All times BST). The first land-based qualifier is due to kick-off on Sunday July 27, and those who do not make the cut will receive a free second chance token worth £27.50 to be used in a future online event.
