To find the tournaments go to the Poker lobby >> William Hill Exclusive >> Poker League And remember to keep coming back to William Hill Poker in 2012 as this is just the beginning!

Bart(UK) Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Re: William Hill Poker League Starts Feb 9th Looks good but priced me out with between £11 and £77 per week. Why have regions and then not restrict people to just one or two? Good luck to those who play though, one for PL to take down for sure :hope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runadrum Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Re: William Hill Poker League Starts Feb 9th Why have regions and then not restrict people to just one or two? Was interested when first got the email but 4pm on a Sunday is the worst possible time for me. Hadn't picked up on the "join as many leagues as you like" until Bart's comment - so for that reason too, I'm out ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burnley Joe Posted February 29, 2012 Author Share Posted February 29, 2012 Re: William Hill Poker League Starts Feb 9th Top 20 qualify for the National Qualifier from each Regional League on May 13th Looking at all regions, there are at most 16 in one region, the rest have less than 15, so if you play one, you should qualify for the regional finals, if you play Wales or Scotland, there is no players!!! Worth £10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burnley Joe Posted March 15, 2012 Author Share Posted March 15, 2012 Re: William Hill Poker League Starts Feb 9th Received confirmation that this has been cancelled and there will be a £2500 freeroll on Sunday for anyone who played in any of the leagues, so i reckon about 70 players max Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaMatrix Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Re: William Hill Poker League Starts Feb 9th Whaaaaaaaaaat? Really? Sick! I am top of 3/4 of the leagues! Can you post up the email cos I haven't received anything. ty EDIT i just logged in and saw the popup fml lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burnley Joe Posted March 15, 2012 Author Share Posted March 15, 2012 Re: William Hill Poker League Starts Feb 9th 3 or 4 leagues? Why, the top 20 from all the leagues go through to regionals, so you would not be able to qualify 4 times, also the most any league had was about 16, unless you did it the 1st week ? Anyway final Sunday good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaMatrix Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Re: William Hill Poker League Starts Feb 9th There was added money in each game, and everyone could play all the regions except irish which most people did, and each regional winner was supposed to win £260 too... I've emailed then anyway, gl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
