Fortune Logo

Fortune Poker are running a nine month promotion which will culminate in one player going to the World Series of Poker in 2011. Their multi-table tournament leaderboard promotion which sees monthly cash prizes and the ultimate World Series of Poker prize will run until March 2011 with the top 10 each month entering the final 90 player tournament in April next year.

Each month the top 50 players according to the multi-table tournament leaderboard will share €1,000 between them with the first prize claiming 20% of the total and €200 for their hard work. Points are allocated based on a formula with number of players, the finishing position and the buy in all as variables.

According to Fortune Poker the points are worked out like this:

The number of points received is dependent on buy-in, number of players, and your finishing position.

The algorithm used is:

Points = 10*[sqrt(n/k)] * [0.5+0.5*Ln(b)]

n = Number of Players; k = Position; b = Buy-in

The monthly prizes will be awarded at the end of each month and prizes will be paid within 72 hours of the final decision being granted. The big one though is reserved for the top 10 players from each month who will then compete in the final multi-table tournament leaderboard tournament which will give away €15,000 including a €1,000 WSOP package.

Fortune Poker’s €100,000 GTD Headhunter

Monday, September 6th, 2010

Fortune HeadHunter

Every month at Fortune Poker you can enjoy a fantastic €100,000 guaranteed HeadHunter tournament where all the best and the bravest poker players come together to knock each other out. With great added value for aggressive poker players the Fortune Poker HeadHunter is legendary.

Depending on what your background is you might have a different idea of what a Headhunter is. It could be an aggressive recruitment agent (it’s not), it could be the nickname of some mad English football thugs (it’s not), it could be the name of a Jazz fusion band put together by Herbie Hancock (it’s not) it could be a hyper-aggressive tournament run on the Boss network with a €100,000 guaranteed prize pool with €30 on every player’s head (we got there).

Every time a player is knocked out, 80% of the value on their head goes to the player who knocks them out whilst the remaining 20% goes on the victor’s head. If you take down one player who has already knocked out four players it’s the same as knocking out two players in one go.

Each player starts with 5,000 chips so you know you are in for a feast of poker with blinds up every fifteen minutes. The €100,000 guaranteed does not include the bounties so that is even more value added on top. The buy in is €150 but with satellites running all the time anybody can qualify with a bit of heart. You’re going to need a lot of heart to make sure you don’t lose your head.

If you want to enjoy one of these great HeadHunter tournaments held on the first Sunday of each month at Fortune Poker sign up today and enjoy 30% rakeback. Sign up today at Fortune Poker Rakeback.

You don’t have to have won money during this period and even if you’ve won some huge stacks you still get to play in this freeroll for €10,000. The only thing you have to do to qualify is play the 1,500 hands required and you are in like Flynn. Fortune Poker love promotions like this because it rewards their players and we love them too because we’re in the loyalty business offering you a fantastic rakeback deal.

We are able to offer to you 30% rakeback at Fortune Poker as well as some of our own great promotions including rake races and freerolls from month to month. If you like being rewarded and you like playing poker then Fortune Poker should be your poker home.
