Nov 5th Thanksgiving Jackpot Update

Posted By : Comb Over-Under November 5th, 2009

carbonpokerpicKeep stuffing that Turkey.

The CarbonPoker Thanksgiving jackpot has grown by over $1000 in the last 24 hours. You guys are rabid!

As of 13:06:24 Server Time on November 5, 2009 (that’s official!), the Jackpot is weighing in at $7,289.25. And that’s pre-cooked.

You guys still have 3.5 weeks to baste that into a pretty insane prizepool for the heads up leaderboard championship. Remember, you need to finish in the top 128 to get a spot and try for the payout.

Here’s the breakdown of how you get points:

1c of entry fee = 1 leaderboard point

Buy-in Total LB Points Points for 1st Points for 2nd
$2 + 20c 40 28 12
$5 + 50c 100 70 30
$10 + $1 200 140 60
$25 + $2.50 500 350 150
$50 + $5 1000 700 300

And just so you know, you’re still not late to the party. There is plenty of time to crack the upper echelon of the leaderboard. Get grinding, turkeys.

Updated Turkey Grand Slam Jackpot is Over $6K

Posted By : CarbonPoker November 4th, 2009

6K Turkey CashWe are only four days into the Turkey Grand Slam and the jackpot is growing like crazy.

The good people at CarbonPoker seeded the jackpot with $2,500 and you players have jacked it up to over $6K already. If that’s not enough motivation to work your way up the leader board, I’m not sure you should even keep reading this.

As I told you before, half of each Turkey Jackpot SnG gets thrown into the Final Tourney Jackpot. The top 128 players on the Thanksgiving leader board will face off in a unique starting stack heads up bracket tourney (say that 3 times fast) at the end of the promotion.

Track the Thanksgiving Leader Board here to see how far you need to go to increase your stack. If the first four days are any indication, there will be a lot to play for at the end of the month.

Current Leaders:

  1. sliekas
  2. mazokie
  3. LTUFlawless
  4. Edener2012
  5. Smaggie
  6. vader46
  7. freeroller4

Gobble Gobble – It’s the Turkey Grand Slam

Posted By : Comb Over-Under October 30th, 2009

Turkey Grand Slam

The November Promotion at CarbonPoker is awesome. It’s a month long SitnGo extravaganza with points, cash and stuffing — all culminating in a 128-man Heads Up Championship!

Here’s how it works: From November 1-30, Carbon is running specially added Turkey Jackpot SitnGos. Each time you play in one of these events you have the opportunity to earn Turkey Points and build the eventual jackpot.

For official rules, prizes and yada yada yada, check the Turkey Grand Slam Page. This page will also house the official leaderboard, real time jackpot amount and any other info you need.

Half of each Turkey Jackpot SnG will be added to the month-end Jackpot. To kick things off, we’re seeding the prize pool with $2,500 and it’s only going to go up from here.

The SitnGos will cost between $2+20c and $50+$5:

Buy-in Total LB Points Points for 1st Points for 2nd
$2 + 20c 40 28 12
$5 + 50c 100 70 30
$10 + $1 200 140 60
$25 + $2.50 500 350 150
$50 + $5 1000 700 300

As you can see, there are tons of chances to earn points during November. Remember, only the top 128 players will make their way into the Unique Starting Stack heads up Grand Finale. The more points you earn, the more chips you’ll have for the final.

Get the jump on the rest of the competition and start playing as soon as you see the tourneys roll out.

For those of you already licking your chops for the eventual payout, here’s how it breaks down:

Spoiler alert: EVERYBODY that makes the top 128 will win something.

Halloween Promo at CarbonPoker – All Month Long

Posted By : Comb Over-Under October 1st, 2009

HalloweenOctober is here and so is another great CarbonPoker Promo.

‘CarbonPoker Halloween: Trick or Treat’, as the name suggests, offers the best tricks and treats of the season, as players work through 15 Levels of tasks to earn cash prizes.

If you played it last year, you’ll know that every CarbonPoker player is eligible and all of your progress will be automatically tracked and updated. It’s going to run from October 1 – 31, so you’ve got the entire month to build up VIP Points.

Here’s how it works:

After getting through the first task of finding a hidden pumpkin logo on one of CarbonPoker’s pages, you’re off and running – trying to accumulate as many VIP Points as you can throughout the month.

As you reach the different stages, you can go to the secure Halloween page (after you’re signed in) and decide whether to keep the Treat or risk it for more (and potentially get the Trick). Either way, you’ll get a cash prize.

Basically, you’re shooting for $2,500 in individual prizes over the month – and you’re only going to hit the top payout by risking some of it along the way.

Think of it like The Carbon Million… only spookier.
