As you can see (from my expert screen cap + cropping skillzzzz), the Thanksgiving Jackpot is now over $13K! You guys are hitting the Special Turkey SitNGos hard right now.

We are almost halfway through the month, so there is still time to crack your way into the top 128 players on the Leaderboard and become eligible for a unique starting stack in our Thanksgiving Heads up Grand Slam Finale.

Interested? I thought so.

Track the Leaderboard here and look for the Turkey SnGs in the player admin.

Bring yourself some luck this Friday the 13th, and compete for this growing jackpots.

Half of each Turkey SnG goes into the Jackpot for the top 128 players on the leaderboard – so there is still time to crack into a good spot on the leaderboard and be eligible for a piece of the ever-expanding prize pool.

As of this afternoon (pictured) the official count is $10,767.90. We’ll hit $11K soon, and then keep going. We seeded the Jackpot with $2,500, and now it’s all up to you guys.

Keep playing and watch it grow!

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.

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.

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:

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.

‘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.
