Some major names from the world of high stakes cash games, including Linus ‘LLinusLLove’ Loeliger and Eshaan ‘Brownballa’ Bhalla, are getting ready to duke it out in CoinPoker’s first Cash Game World Championship from December 1.
The 24/7 action will run at stakes of $50/100 and above, but those without the bankrolls to mix it with the big dogs can still reap some rewards while following the action from the rail. Play will be streamed, and those watching on can win cash and crypto by correctly answering poker trivia questions.
What’s more, there will be no option to muck hole cards at showdown, allowing viewers extra insight into the thought processes and strategies of these high stakes pros.
Rake-free. High stakes. Want in?
A leaderboard of results and EV will be updated throughout the event, which runs past Christmas, with the ultimate winner crowned Cash Game World Champion and awarded a Rolex Daytona watch valued at close to $50K.
If you’re in need of a new watch, or just want to take on an elite field of cash game pros yourself (see below), you can apply to take part - just register your interest here.
The games, at stakes from $50/100 to $100/200, will be rake-free with no antes, a 100bb minimum buy-in and an auto-reload in place.
Each weekend will also feature a live-streamed VIP game where the most popular players will be invited to join CoinPoker ambassadors such as Patrick Leonard, Olga Iermolcheva, Mario Mosböck and Bobby James, every Sunday at 5pm GMT.
For these weekly VIP games, viewers will be able to vote in the players they most want to join the CoinPoker pros. Players who win public votes for coolest bluff and sickest hero-call will bag themselves an invite, as will the week’s biggest winner, biggest loser, unluckiest player and the biggest grinder with the most hands played.
