$10,000 Double Up Sit and Go Madness

DoubleUp Sit and Go tournaments are one of the most popular poker formats available today and they are about to get a whole lot more popular thanks to the new promotion PokerNews and William Hill are holding together.

The $10,000 Double Up Sit and Go Madness promotion will begin on Nov. 30 and run through to Jan. 10, 2013 during which time there will be $10,000 in cash up for grabs. As the name suggests, the promotion revolves around the DoubleUp Sit and Go tournaments that William Hill host, and will see PokerNews players play for $10,000 in prizes. Play DoubleUp Sit and Gos, earn points depending on your finishing position, win prizes. It is as simple as that.

DoubleUp Sit and Gos are a great way to build a bankroll without exposing your bankroll too much. This is because exactly half of the field receives twice the buy-in back, whilst the other half receives nothing. In a four-handed game the top two players are paid, in a six-handed game the top three places are paid and in a ten-handed game the top five finishers are paid out. Compare this to a standard Sit and Go where generally only a third of players receive prize money and it is easy to see why variance is dramatically cut.

The $10,000 Double Up Sit and Go Madness promotion is only open to players who sign up to William Hill through PokerNews. This means that the number> of competitors will be reduced as you will not be competing against the entire iPoker Network, just your fellow PokerNews players. All DoubleUp Sit and Go tournaments are valid for this promotion that is four, six and ten-handed variants. Leaderboard points will be awarded at the following rates.

As you can see, you do not even have to finish in the money to pick up precious leaderboard points, making this promotion even more attractive! As we know, points make prizes and this is how the $10,000 prize money will be distributed.

The $10,000 DoubleUp Sit and Go Madness promotion could be just what you need to get your poker career off the ground and to start 2013 with a substantial bankroll. With $1,000 being awarded to the player who tops the leaderboard come Jan.10 (and $9,000 more shared between positions 2-100), and the fact all William Hill Points you earn from the the games you play count towards clearing the massive 200% up to $2,000 first deposit bonus, there has been no better time to play poker at William Hill.
