Best Value Guaranteed Poker Tournament Online
Posted by CarbonPoker on 28th May 2009


As you probably know, every Sunday CarbonPoker runs a $50,000 Guaranteed Tournament. It goes down at 15:00 Carbon Time each week.

The Buy In will run you $109 (or one of our conveniently valued $109 coupons) and this will give you a great shot at the $50K.

Because it’s guaranteed money, you can expect some tremendous value here. Ie: if 5 people or 500 show up, that’s the number. The payout does not change.

Over the past few weeks we’ve seen a lot of interest in the tourney. Be sure to get in before everybody online knows about it.

Keep your eyes and ears peeled for more bonuses and site news on this Memorial Day Weekend at CarbonPoker.

Top Events at the 2009 WSOP
Posted by CarbonPoker on 21st May 2009


There are 57 bracelet-worthy events this year at the 2009 version of the WSOP. Here are the ones I’m personally looking forward to:

Thursday, May 28th – 40th Annual No-Limit Hold’em – $40,000 buy in. ‘Nuff said

Sat, May 30th – No-Limit Hold’em – $1,000 buy in featuring CarbonPoker players froliche and sliekas. Do it up, guys!

Mon, June 1st – World Championship Seven Card Stud — $10,00 buy in

Sat, June 13th – World Championship Heads Up No-Limit Hold’em – $10,000 buy in. Lets see the big dogs battle it out to see who’s the best. It could get ugly.

Fri, June 26th – World Championship HORSE – $50,000 buy in. You know this event always gets crazy and it’s a blast to watch.

Thurs, July 2nd – Ante Up For Africa Charity Event – $5000 buy in. This is the kind of event you can really feel good about… You know, if you’ve got a soul.

Then of course we’ve got the $10,000 buy in World Championship No-Limit Texas Hold’em 13-day event. It stretches from July 3rd – July 15th. I think you might have heard of it. If not, are you sure you’re in the right place right now? Do you need someone to help you get home?

The final table takes place again from November 7th – 10th. Although the time is TBD, clear your schedule for those days. This is the can’t-miss event of the year.

Sure there are a ton of events, and it loses some of the mystique of the six-man, winner take all event of 1970…but, get with the future, man. You’ve got the internet on your cell phone; you can handle more poker as the WSOP.

CarbonPoker World Record Bad Beat Jackpot Pays Out!
Posted by CarbonPoker on 14th February 2009
$1,192,560.60 Bad beat jackpot pays out $417, 396 to New Yorker

Six others also Share Record Jackpot!

February 13th, 2009 – One lucky player on the Merge Gaming Poker network from New York has just broken the world record for a bad beat jackpot proving Friday 13th is not so unlucky for some. The lucky player scooped $417,396 with the total Jackpot hitting a staggering $1.2m. The jackpot has already been reseeded and currently stands at $240,000.

Player RUGGIO scooped the World record prize by being beaten on the lowest stake jackpot table where blinds start at $0.50/$1. He held a straight flush from 7 to Jack of hearts. He was “beaten” by AELANI who was holding the Queen and King of Hearts giving him a higher Straight Flush. AELANI still took down $208,698 for his part. All the other five players on the table received $41,739 for just being there.

Ruggio holding 8,7 of hearts saw the flop come 3d, 9h Jh, sensing he needed any heart for a flush & the 10h for a straight flush he called AELANI’s $4 bet. The turn card fell a Queen of clubs, AELANI bet out $8, which was swiftly called. The river fell 10 hearts giving RUGGIO the straight flush, at this point he is thinking about how he has AELANI beat. AELANI bets out $20, which RUGGIO raised to $35, AELANI then re-raises all in which was called. To RUGGIO’s horror AELANI turned over Queen and King of hearts giving him a higher straight flush. His horror soon to turned to joy when he realized he had scooped $417,396 and the chips began raining down on his screen.

“My first reaction when I saw that I hit a piece of the Jackpot was ‘oh my God’, I am paying for college completely on my own through student loans so first and foremost I thought about how I would be able to pay off all my student loans and start my life in the real world debt-free.” AELANI, from Northwestern University, Chicago said of his win.

“Congratulations to all players who made this a part of history and share in the jackpot of almost $1,200,000, however, the fun is not over, the bad beat has been reseeded and is already sitting at $240,000.” commented Jay Manning, a Carbon spokesman. “We are thrilled that the Bad Beat has gone off and we have set a new bar for the industry. We never envisaged the Bad beat would take so long to hit, after all we have the lowest qualifying hand anywhere online”, said Manning.

The Bad Beat Jackpot, first introduced by Carbon Poker in mid 2008, this is the first pay out since its introduction, is seeded by $0.50 from every pot on all listed Bad Beat tables and pays out when a hand of quad 7’s or better is busted. Currently, this is the lowest qualifying hand for a bad beat in the online industry.

The Bad Beat Jackpot isn’t the only thing happening at Carbon Poker, with the highly anticipated 4.5 version of their gaming platform to be launched 1st March. The new software, which features an advanced mini mode and table customizer also coincides with the release of the new VIP program that will incorporate a brand new online store. “It’s a very exciting time at Carbon Poker, a lot is happening, the players love it and they are tuning in to what we are doing.” stated Manning.

$9M WSOP VICTORY!
Posted by CarbonPoker on 11th November 2008

If you had 9 million dollars what would you do? Well Im sure Peter Eastgate has had that question on his mind alot these last few months and now he actually has it. Picking up a cool $9 million dollar first place prize in the World Series Of Poker Main Event, Mr Eastgate has become the youngest ever to win the Main Event – breaking Hellmuths record that has stood for 20 years. He also joins the elite list of poker players and now ranks 5th on the list of money won in poker tournaments.

Previous to the WSOP Main Event, Eastgate, while a formidable online player was unknown to the rest of the poker world. That however has all changed since he busted Russian Ivan Demidov in heads up play to take the most prestigious poker event in the world.
Eastgate practically dominated the heads up period of the match with smart play and some dominating hands. The final hand was called all in by Demidov who sat nicely on two pair. Though like the rest of that game, Eastgate had him out classed and out gunned as he called and then laid down a 5 high straight. Id say congratulations, but I think he might be sick of hearing it!
