GaF Posted May 8, 2007 Author Share Posted May 8, 2007 Re: VirginPoker STT Challenge to WSOP The points for the winners in this seem very low :loon :loon Looks well worth a bash!! The STT challenge returns, and we're giving away over $10,000 in WSOP prizes plus V*Points galore! The format is the same as ever, for those of you new to the STT challenge, these are the rules: Players will earn points for every STT they win and a cumulative total of points earned will be displayed on a leaderboard in this blog. Points will be earned in the following order: 10 seater STT win: 5 points 5 seater STT win: 3 points 2 seater STT win: 1 pointEach weekly winner will win a seat at a final tourney where there will be two $4000 WSOP side event packages to win! The final weekly will be posted here every Monday. Best of luck everyone, see you in Vegas! After all that waiting we can finally announce the winner of Week 1 of the STT Challenge! And the winner is...(drum roll)....RioRodent, who sneaked home by just 1 point from Belgareth. To find out how you did just e-mail [email protected]. Best of luck for Week 2! Fishyhook After just missing out in week 1 Belgareth won week 2 of the STT Challenge at a canter! Best of luck to MrBang77 in the WSOP satellite. Week 3 is already up and running so what are you waiting for?? Fishyhook Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joelegge Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 Re: VirginPoker STT Challenge to WSOP Hi guys, Just a quick note to highlight this tourney for all of you guys in search of a lot of value. There's not much action on this at the moment and as the buy-in has no relevance to the points gained it doesn't have to be for the high rollers. Plus a Boss glitch (who would have thought it) means that anyone winning second place is actually able to unregister from the tourney and pocket the $700 (i shouldn't really have told you that). Anyway just thought i'd let you guys know. Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daftpegasus Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 Re: VirginPoker STT Challenge to WSOP Do we need to prove or register our wins in any way? Or does the Virgin software automatically calculate this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaF Posted May 10, 2007 Author Share Posted May 10, 2007 Re: VirginPoker STT Challenge to WSOP Joe gets a report from Boss - so nothing to do - just play your games :ok 3 x 10 seat STT wins a day and you would have romped to any weekly win so far :loon :loon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daftpegasus Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 Re: VirginPoker STT Challenge to WSOP I'm never going to have enough playing time to reach this target anyway so I'm not that worried - to be honest I'm just glad to have won one, the way I'm playing at the moment that's a huge improvement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

morlspin Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Re: VirginPoker STT Challenge to WSOP It's getting serious now with four players beating the 100 point mark in Week 3 and Adelita accumulating a seriously impressive 220 points to win! We're already well in to Week 4 so just 2 chances left to make it to the Vegas final table. Good luck, Fishyhook Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaF Posted May 15, 2007 Author Share Posted May 15, 2007 Re: VirginPoker STT Challenge to WSOP Nice one Morl - glad you got it for your troubles :ok (and relieved!!! Imagine the tantrum if you'd got nothing :moon :moon :moon :moon) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morlspin Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 Re: VirginPoker STT Challenge to WSOP Holy cow, how this has taken off!!!! Week 4 was painfully close but Xtrmntr2 just sneaked it CKitty by the tiny margin of 3 points. Bad luck to CKitty but a $700 WSOP seat should hopefully be a good consolation prize. There's now only one week left to join Xtrmntr2 at the final table so get at those STTs! Best of luck, Fishyhook Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
