On February 26th, Carbon Poker will hold a huge $25,000 Bankroll Booster freeroll that’s sure to help quite a few players out. This is especially the case with the first place finisher, who’s set to receive $5,000 for winning the tournament!
As for entering this freeroll, players will have two different options. The first option is the regular freeroll qualifiers that run three times a day. What’s great about these tourneys is that there’s absolutely no entry fee, and the top 10 players win a seat for the $25k Bankroll Booster. In regards to finding the regular freerolls, you can catch them daily at 13:30, 17:30 and 21:30 (server time) in the Scheduled > Special section of the lobby.
The other option for winning your way into the Bankroll Booster includes the VIP Points Earned qualifiers. With these, you need to earn a certain amount of VIP Points before a specified time of the day. Your points start being tracked at 00:01, and here is a look at how many points you need to earn to enter each specific qualifier:
- 00:30 qualifier requires 100 points
- 04:30 qualifier requires 20 points
- 08:30 qualifier requires 50 points
- 12:30 qualifier requires 100 points
- 14:30 qualifier requires 300 points
- 16:30 qualifier requires 75 points
- 18:30 qualifier requires 15 points
- 20:30 qualifier requires 100 points
- 22:30 qualifier requires 500 points
The big advantage to playing in the VIP Points qualifiers is that there will be far less poker players in these fields than what you can expect in the open entry qualifiers. But no matter what way you make it into the $25k Bankroll Booster, it’s well worth the effort because of the huge prize pool that’s available.
And as far as structure goes, players will start off with 3,000 chips in this tournament, and the blind levels go up every 10 minutes. This being the case, it gives players plenty of time to use skilled play to inch closer towards that $5,000 first place prize.
